I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Today is the feast of the Epiphany. The Magi visit and offer their gifts to the Christchild in a 15th Century alabaster at Long Melford, Suffolk. The midwife Zelomi stands behind Mary, while aged Joseph watches from the foot of the bed.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Astonishing video, worth watching in full.
While agreeing in the round,
I've found this (below) both reassuring and highlighting of the need for constant vigilance. There is no perfect end state. See if you can see where the 'thousand year reich' occurs (also, that Roman Empire lasted quite a while).

The full transcript of Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech is very much worth reading in full. Even if you don't agree with your politics, it's very beautifully put together.

There’s no screening for ovarian cancer and it’s really difficult to spot: you can’t squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also it’s very good at masquerading at other things, like IBS and diverticulitis.
Please take a look at this list of symptoms - and share if you can.

A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

Terrific thread on phone security 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
anyway, some actually useful tips to mitigate any loss: make sure your notifications don't show their content on the lock screen - set them so you have to unlock the phone to see them. Make sure you've got theft detection turned on, which locks the phone if it's snatched.
