#TimelineCleanse 🪶💖 It's 75°F. You're sitting on the deck, drenched in the heady scent of blooming lilac, watching the hairy woodpeckers take turns feeding their nestling, who is keeping up a steady robust begging call. Here, Dad prepares to deliver a hunk of suet.

For years, I've long said that climate.gov's team of remarkable communicators (& their amazing blogs, which were accessible but did not "dumb down" the science!) was NOAA's best (& most cost effective!) public-facing extreme #weather / #climate education effort to date. This will be a huge loss.

RESULT: Democrats defend a legislative seat in Oklahoma (HD71) by a massive margin, 85% to 15%. This was a district that voted for Harris by 19% in November, so this is a huge shift toward Dems of 51 percentage points.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

Measles titers are good but going for my Tdap this week bc it's been a minute since my last tetanus shot. Getting COVID boosted too. Good on Shingrix for another 5 years. If you've been putting off any vax, get them now. For those who can't access vaccines as much as for yourself.
