“Cheers” to Ume

Red dog with white snout chest and socks, black nose front and center, mouth open because he sneezed because he rolled around on a dandelion, and some of the dandelion seeds are floating in front of the dog’s big brown eye. His ears are flopping and his leg and paw generally look crazy.

I sincerely wish prophylactic nasal sprays for flu COVID etc were more available and studied. The weirdest burnout Gen X guy in my DC apartment building told me to wash my nostrils out every time I came home in like February 2020, and he was right.

If you saw footage of Nepal's protests this month, it's a fair chance you saw it from WeHateTheCold, a British travel vlogger who stumbled into the revolution and started filming. I spoke to him about it for @wired.com www.wired.com/story/how-a-...

The real-life impact of Trump and Musk’s freeze on USAID

Drugs and food, intended for global aid, instead languished and rotted in warehouses — and some children withered and died.

Sweeping, damning investigation by my @washingtonpost.com colleagues.

Trump’s USAID pause stranded lifesaving drugs. Children died waiting.

USAID antimalarial and HIV supplies valued at nearly $140 million were delayed in the first half of the year or not delivered at all due to the Trump administration’s foreign aid pause, The Post found...

4 years on Tuft & Needle Mint and we both love it. BUT, you can go down an enormous rabbit hole here as there are 100s of local small mattress manufacturers around the country. The subreddit pinned post is a good start if you want to hyperfixate.
