The party sent cash and surrogates. I’m not going to argue this further; I’m just going to suggest that the midterms are the big enchilada and we should channel the positives from this race into winning them. www.npr.org/2025/12/02/n...
The closing sprint of the race saw a slew of surrogates make campaign stops and virtual appearances to support the candidates. Former Vice President Kamala Harris and Martin the DNC chairman attended canvassing events for Behn last month, while former Vice President Al Gore and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez headlined a Zoom rally Monday evening.

Amazing. With alt text.
Saved by Stoppard Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec 1), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: “If there is an equation for curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of "adjuvant systemic chemotherapy" and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients' survival. Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia. Michael Baum Professor emeritus of surgery; visiting professor of medical humanities, UCL

I know all his accusations are confessions but this ESPECIALLY feels like a confession
Donald J. Trump 9 & @realDonaldTrump Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter! 4.77k ReTruths 18.7k Likes 11/28/25, 1:37 PM

TIL: Flowers may look delicate, but they can drink bleach smart.dhgate.com/the-ultimate...
Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Your Own Flower Food at Home Ready to mix your own magic potion? Here's a straightforward recipe to keep your flower stems drinking happily: • 1 quart (4 cups) warm water • 2 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar (to acidify water) • 1 tablespoon sugar (to feed the blooms) • 1/2 tablespoon bleach or a few drops of chlorinated water (to limit bacterial growth) Mix these ingredients thoroughly until the sugar dissolves. Make sure the water is room temperature, as cold water can shock the flowers, while hot water might encourage too much bacterial growth. Cut flower stems at an angle, strip any leaves below the water line, and place bouquets directly into your homemade food. Replace the solution every 2 days for best results.

Hey @huffpost.com this is three typos. Neither “Nation’s” nor “Districts” should be capitalized. Just because he randomly capitalizes all the time, doesn’t mean we should accept it as correct. apple.news/Agzz1wqqUSKa...
"The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again," he began the post, before pivoting to boast about his 2024 election — including a typo "one our Nation's Districts by 2750 to 550, a complete wipeout."

For #StandingStoneSunday, my all-time favorite: Poulnabrone dolmen, in the Burren, County Clare. Just otherworldly.
My sisters, both in blue jackets, seen at a distance, looking at Poulnabrone dolmen—several large slabs of rock arranged as a passage with a sloping roof. All around is the strange limestone surface of the Burren, interspersed with grass.

Alison Bechdel herself never posited the rule as an absolute test of feminism and I bet she would disagree with using it that way.
