Whew 😥, I didn’t think I was going to have enough yarn. I had 44 grams left when I started the sleeves. They’re a little shorter than originally intended but it worked out. This lovely pattern was a test knit for @kiddiwinksknits.bsky.social

So rather than put Texas ABC affiliates in the middle of it, Kimmel says the full interview will be posted to YouTube instead. This is where we are now. A candidate interview gets moved off broadcast television because local stations are worried about what the federal government might do next.

Now, the people responsible for protecting the newsroom’s independence are being fired. A government-funded military newspaper is not supposed to become a Pentagon PR operation simply because its reporting makes leadership uncomfortable!
