My doctor is encouraging me to eat more Greek yogurt as a snack for its protein content. I am finally starting to enjoy it (once I crush up a Reece's peanut butter cup and mix it in. Otherwise, no thank you.).

Francie-- I love this piece! My daughter was a two-time CTY participant, and you absolutely captured the spirit of the program. She always said it was the few weeks of the year when she didn't try to dim her light or her brain.

Trump: "I want to be good because you want to prove to God so you go to that next step, right? So that's very important to me."

I'm an optimist. I think they realize their work would then become carrying the water for the Administration and they would lose all autonomy. If their jobs are difficult now, they would become impossible, and the leaders would be hated on campus. No grants are worth that price.

Today was our first real fall day, and Blue gets chilly easily, so he got a sweater. You can tell he is happy bc he is showing his teef. His eyes are sad because right behind me, his Labrador sister had just stolen his favorite Benebone while I took the photo. You win some, you lose some...

Rawr! An American Bulldog wears a brown Baby Gap bear suit on the first day of fall. He is smiling, which means he is showing his bottom teef for his mama. He is sitting in green grass, and behind him are ornamental grasses.

How much are they paying the station for the pleasure of supporting local journalism? I’ll take their commercials if it means we get Kyle’s reporting.

I'm excited for my flight from Denver to Newark on Sunday!

Mark Chadbourn @chadbourn.bsky.social · 4d

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

Excellent news, Duffy! I fly into Newark on Sunday for work and cannot wait to see what this means for my safety. If anything happens to me, I want everyone to AVENGE ME. I hope my husband starts a GoFundMe and y'all contribute to the legal fund.

Bad Bunny responds to his Super Bowl critics in Spanish, and then English: “And, if you didn’t understand know what I just said, you have four months to learn!”

This is what your shopping cart looks like when you live in the neighborhood known for loving Halloween. And with all of this candy, I am guessing we will be out by 8 PM especially with Halloween on a Friday night. Any guesses on the total number of pieces in the cart?

This isn’t what she meant, but it was my response. I’ve received this question and had people touch my hair many times before. Once I was telling @josieahlquist.bsky.social about this phenomenon and later that evening she witnessed it as if I have conjured the behavior. Please, everyone, don’t. 2/2

I am proud of my heritage. And it is exhausting to live in a country where the leadership mocks your ethnicity on social media and the country’s military and ICE arrest US citizens with your ethnicity. Am in an airport and a woman just touched my hair and asked “what ARE you?” Sigh. I am tired. 1/2
