Can you lose the game in the first quarter? I certainly thought so. Thanks for playing like a 5-12 team, Pats #seahawks

Project Hail Mary is very good. Even my non-sci-fi aficionado fiancée loved it.

I saw The Play That Goes Wrong tonight at Center Stage Theater in PDX. My jaw hurts from smiling so much. I laughed so hard that I had to leave my glasses off entirely because I was nonstop cry laughing. My stomach is already sore. I’m wiped out. It was great.

Great article. These ICEholes are deliberately harming children. Glad to see local/state AGs are taking steps to hold them accountable.

“abolish ICE” does not even begin to capture the type of change that needs to occur here

I think my dog Suleiman the Magnificent has a weird ass head. My fiancée thinks he’s beautiful. Only one of us can be right.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
Screenshot of a data visualization titled “The Cost of American Exceptionalism,” subtitled “What would change if the U.S. matched the OECD average?” The page explains that each card shows how outcomes would change if the U.S. matched the average of 31 peer democracies. Below, a section labeled “Economy & Inequality” displays eight cards comparing U.S. figures to OECD averages. Highlights include: +$19K per household per year in redistributed income and +$96K in redistributed wealth if the top 1% matched OECD shares; a 71% lower CEO-to-worker pay ratio (from 354× to 101×); 50 million more workers with union coverage; 26 million more people with health insurance; $2.1 trillion saved annually in healthcare spending; $691 less per person per year in prescription drug costs; and intergenerational economic mobility being twice as high. Each card shows the U.S. value alongside the OECD average.

Trump is acting like he has 10 months to finish what he's started. That more Americans don't see this as an existential problem is infuriating.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

This little lady had masses on her chest. Vet said “85% of the time this is an aggressive form of cancer, you should act now.” Turns out we’re in the lucky 15%. Ichiban is a treasure and a trooper.

I want to talk about generative AI because of the defeatist impulses chronicled in this article. While simply expresssing a defiant attitude cannot always change lived-in reality, in certain cases it definitely can. This is in part because, early on, a conflict can exist at a perceptions level. 1/?

This is Suleiman the Magnificent (aka Monsieur Bisous/Mr. Kisses). He is half Great Pyrenees so he wants to be protective of the house but he’s scared of everything so that makes it difficult. And, yes, I apply his mascara daily.

Sasha Belle lives only for breakfast, dinner, walks and cuddling. She needs nothing else out of this life (aside from not hearing Trump talk, gives her the heebie jeebies). Here she is not having the heebie jeebies.

My cat, Ichiban, who once upon a time actively tolerated and occasionally almost loved me (but only when her mom was out of town) now absolutely loathes my presence ever since I got a new dog.
