OOOPS! UPDATE: Two HHS officials tell me that disease detectives, measles response officers, global health officials and the MMWR staff were laid off by mistake and will be reinstated. But Washington office is still RIFed

Huh! Maybe I'm just not looking in the right spots

It worked for like 17 minutes straight and then entirely bombed out.

HBO Max live stream system is riddled with bugs. This is a “couldn’t play content” error message.

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

There was a photo of the construction of the IRT, showing how they just moved the pipes and building connections above ground to tear apart the streets with cut/cover. And you could never get away with above ground gas mains on Broadway today. (And we’re probably lucky we didn’t blow up the Fidi)

TNT Sports has somehow managed to somehow squeeze even more stuff onto its score bug.

You don’t need to show the pitch count during the second at-bat of the game. C’mon. Less is more.
