Dr. Oz is on my flight right now. He is sitting in the very first seat, front row. I saw him get on the plane. So when I stepped off the jetway onto the plane I approached him and put my hand out. What the man in charge of healthcare for the people on the very margins of society said…was revealing

N.J. teen spent 52 days in ICE detention. Now she’s going to college to be an immigration lawyer.
The teen, who came to the United States when she was 9, wasn't eligible to graduate on time after missing school while being detained. That hasn't stopped her from moving forward.

Look at Trump's serial failures, his obvious decline, the disastrous poll numbers for the GOP, the abysmal quality of their candidates, their complete absence of accomplishments, their betrayal of their base, the absence of post-Trump leaders emerging...and tell me the Dems are the ones w/problems.

Today I bought grocery items that I will use for recipe testing and some to feed my family. I carefully marked the grocery receipt to delineate the two + tucked the receipt into this year's tax folder so I'm prepared if the IRS ever audits me. Unlike the Prez, who Repubs gave a free pass to today.

Fresh Air had a reminder that the first Black Miss America had to surrender her crown after nude photos were published. First "lady" of the "party of family values" gets to live high on taxpayer dime after the whole world saw her nekkid. (Russian TV constantly shows the pix.)

Jaya rules, and Ravenous rules! This is such a vivid example of how generative AI does not "democratize" art and culture like its boosters claim. It actually increases the need for/impulse towards gatekeeping because in practice, AI just democratizes fraud. Actual work still takes time and skill!

SUPER DEAL ALERT: Please note my cookbook is currently on sale at bookshop.org for $1.77 off the cover price, which means if you buy 14 copies, you will have save enough money to get a 15th one free. FREE. That’s me doing the math, people. Luckily, I’m much better at writing cookie recipes.
