Randomly say this on my timeline and figured I’d pass it on...

This dog is named Clio. She did not study and she does not know how to read. 😊

These little guys are, essentially, sacred animals in Northeast Ohio thanks to the efforts of a famous Cleveland weatherman named Dick Goddard. There's one small Cleveland-adjacent town that dedicates a whole-ass weekend festival to them.

I've been seeing my favorite fuzzy friends around! 🍂🐛

Illustration of a wooly (sometimes spelled woolly) bear caterpillar. It's fuzzy and cute and has a happy little smile. There's lines radiating around it and above it says "it's wooly time!" in lowercase hand lettering. The background is a light orange checkered pattern.

We have a whole new website dedicated to the "burning" question.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

As U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Noem made the case for increased security, local officials repeated that the situation was well in hand.

The Hawaii Supreme Court’s ruling means that law enforcement in the state will now be required to record all interrogations inside police stations. They will also be required to record all interrogations outside stations “when feasible.”

Hawaii Supreme Court Expands Rights of Defendants, and Once Again Rebukes SCOTUS

The justices ruled that Hawaii’s constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaii residents—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

OMG LOL Angelique turned Joshua Collins into a black and white cat! LOL! I didn't remember that. Too funny.
Angelique is one of the best characters on #DarkShadows
Fun to see her. Love Lara Parker!
(We're in the 1795 storyline now. To see how Barnabas became a vampire.)

Valuable info about the Physics Nobel Prize today from Prof. Joseph Barranco at SFSU on Martinis and Devoret being a grad student and postdoc in Clarke's lab at UC Berkeley & Clark and Devoret being immigrants. "California *public* education made this happen. Immigration made this happen." ⚛️

Joseph Barranco posted on social media: Go Bears! Nobel Prize in Physics goes to 3 physicists studying mesoscopic quantum phenomena... Work was done in the 1980s in UC Berkeley Professor John Clarke's lab with his graduate student John Martinis and postdoctoral fellow Michel Devoret... all 3 share the Nobel Prize. Must also point out that both Clarke and Devoret are immigrants from the UK and France, respectively. All 3 are pioneers in the race to build the most powerful quantum supercomputers. California *public* education made this happen. Immigration made this happen.
