Hey #HolidayBus lines - your bus driver drove over the sidewalk and into a light pole, blowing out a tire that sent rocks and shrapnel-like debris everywhere, including my neck, face and finger. Menace broke my finger. Driver never stopped to check on us crumpled on the sidewalk. Wish DOT existed
Anybody know how to knead bread one-handed? Asking for a friend cooking for 45 this week, including 5 dozen potato rolls (which will not be enough for any leftovers b/c so very delicious)
@darthbluesky.bsky.social you would love them

#Ginkgo update, survived frost and near peak color
If betting markets were smart they’d offer options on the 24 hour window between first and last leaf tumbling down

Despite industry leaders promising that agentic AI is the future, taking care of virtually all human tasks within the next few years

#CarnegieMellonUniversity researchers just released a paper showing that even the best–performing AI agents fail to complete real-world office tasks 70% of the time

This is fantastic and eye-opening reporting from @gracesegers.bsky.social about SNAP and hunger in a remote part of Alaska -- Americans we don't hear from much in national reporting.

More reporting like this, please, everyone!

Alaska’s unique challenges make it difficult to obtain healthy food and adequate medical care. Are the Trump administration and Congress making it worse?

We are proud to be home to more than 600,000 veterans.  

I will continue to fight for veteran health care, housing, and economic opportunity so that North Carolina can be the most military-friendly state in the country.

This again shows that national Democrats could learn a lot by studying NC the only southern state on here. It's on here despite ruthless Republican gerrymandering because they can't gerrymander state-wide elections like the governor.
15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more.

Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

Congratulations to Sabrina Shroff on obtaining a “not guilty” for client: Sean “Sandwich Guy” Dunn on misdemeanor charges of assaulting a federal officer with a Subway sandwich.

I had the pleasure to work alongside Ms. Shroff in a high-profile federal case in SDNY. She is a fierce advocate.
Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent
Sean Dunn faced a single misdemeanor after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

Would enjoy taking this class!
My older kid is working on the transition to alt energy, exponential growth (even in TX).
so in my class i teach the industrial revolution, which is really the story of energy. how it’s mined, how it’s burned, how it impacts the world. how if fuels the machines that makes the hoodie you are wearing right now. energy and labor.

and energy is basically going to be free here very soon
i’m nerding out but this is insane. just free energy everywhere.
