I feel this way every day.

Y'all share and give this season, more than maybe you usually would. So many people need hope right now.
no one cares enough about abuse to help us stay housed and fed, the people that do care struggle as well. it’s fucked, this is a plantation and the legacy of slavery WHICH US GENOCIDE.

1. Looks like we're into #flu season, folks. A 🧵
#CDC reports that for the week ending 12/6, 3.2% of medical visits were for flu-like illnesses. The baseline — ie the point where flu season is considered to have started — is 3.1%.
This timing is pretty normal, coming after the mixing at Thanksgiving

Snow Potential Index is up to 5 as we continue to try to figure out the Sat night-early Sun event. Uncertainty to how far southeast the snow band sets up -- odds of accumulation increase N & E. Very cold air to follow Sunday-early week. Forecast details: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...
CWG Live: Chilly again Friday. Light accumulating snow chance Sunday.
A few flurries are possible today. Early Sunday has a better shot at some accumulation.

Because the state of Connecticut doesn’t want to provide rail service to Norwich, they claim it would cost around $650 million to provide 13.6 miles of rail service.

I propose it can be 3x the length and cost $140 million to do.

Earlier today, a federal judge ruled that FEMA needs to restore the grant program that helps states fund resiliency/disaster preparedness.

"Defendants shall promptly take all steps necessary to reverse the termination of the BRIC program," he wrote.

It would’ve been cool to see a big blowout special on abc last night, but alas…
Sixty years ago tonight, December 9, 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas, a special that became an American institution & a perennial part of the TV landscape for generations, debuted.

Sadly, it's locked behind a streaming platform most of us don't have.

So, screw you, Apple & WildBrain.

if an account:

- only posts emotionally-laden "breaking news"
- without sources
- and they are not a video/photojournalist

you should not trust any of the "news."

On this day in 1967, Otis Redding recorded "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay", the song that would become his biggest hit. He never saw its release, passing three days later. His whistling on the track was meant as a placeholder.
