An amazing success story: the recovery of humpback whales 50-60 years after we stopped whaling on them.
Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

"Bidenian interregnum" is perfect.
The survival of the Republic genuinely depends upon it. The current Democratic caucus is not fit for purpose. If we win with this caucus, we will just have another Bidenian interregnum before the next monster.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

I am so heartily sick of the phrase "come to the table", which of course is only ever used in regards to the GOP.
They should not have a seat at any table of power. I do not want my representatives to break metaphorical bread with them. And you can't negotiate with people who don't care about you.

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.
Democrats are likely to get a vote on an extension later. But they've already gotten similar votes. Republicans already vowing to block an extension without major changes to the ACA, like adding Hyde language.

A2: I never doubted the adhd. I still question the autism, but that has more to do with questioning the whole concept/diagnosis of autism. The "mechanics" of adhd make so much sense to me. Mostly, I see them as filter issues. Autism seems to describe a varied and sometimes contradictory set #AutChat
Q2: How long did it take? Periods of doubting? How did you come to feel (more) secure in self-id (if at all)? #AutChat

Los Angeles city attorney to press: drop dead
Why does the city attorney hate the press so much she literally wants ink-stained wretches — and their contemporary multi-media cousins — shot by the police?

atlanta is the busiest airport and hub in the country. this is astonishing
Waiting for a very delayed flight to Atlanta & the pilot (Scott!) has become everyone's best friend, hanging out amongst the people. He's let us know that Atlanta is only allowing 30 flights an hour, when it's usually 120.
Obviously frustrating but also enjoying how much Scott is relishing this.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
