There is a moment at this time of year when the word ‘apricity’ really comes into view. For those who don’t know it, it was recorded only once, in 1623, before slipping out of view. Apricity is the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.

Writing a paper on heartbeat recordings and songs today, and opened this one from a couple of years ago. It's still so heartbreaking. A young mom died in our #ICU and her family requested that her heartbeat be integrated into a lullaby for the 1yr old she leaves behind. @3wishesprogram.bsky.social

It’s not possible to announce your guilt any louder than ordering a military flyover of the White House to disrupt Epstein survivors speaking out for justice.

The IRS's free tax filing tool is now reportedly "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.
This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
