The measles outbreak in rural West Texas has grown to 90 cases across seven counties, the state health department posted online Friday, and 16 people are hospitalized. #medsky apnews.com/article/meas...

22 February 1935 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Cili Been, was born in Rotterdam. She was deported to #Auschwitz in August 1942 and murdered in the gas chamber.

A good thread for understanding why MAGA and its "leaders" have no idea what they’re doing, and why trying to explain it to them is so often futile.

Friendly reminder to get your free Covid tests before they throw them away. Covidtests.gov wapo.st/42VLGQh

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

Rainy cold day. What should I watch on the TV set?

DOGE has gained access to our Social Security system, and now Musk is spreading lies about massive fraud all so we greenlight his taking an ax to everything. I call out his B.S. in today’s piece: https://buff.ly/3X5uNPt

I'd welcome Dalekoverlords at this point. Almost.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

#gally1 Ol'sixie is very much enjoying his new trousers.

Have a day off tomorrow. Browsing streaming. Now watching the 1979 animated The Return of the King. I know, I know, but, see, I had the read-a-long record of this and I love it. And this song: where there's a whip, there's a way. Indeed.

Missing #gally1 so I'm watching Remembrance of the Daleks just to have top tier #DoctorWho. Ace's taste in rock is terrible. 😆

So it turns out the doge.gov website was so hastily constructed by President Musk's young geniuses that it has already been hacked. And: NO ONE VOTED FOR MUSK!! newrepublic.com/post/191540/...

15 February 1902 | A Polish Jew, Gdala Guterman, was born in Domaczewo. He emigrated to France. On 23 June 1943 he was deported from Drancy to #Auschwitz. He did not survive.

Law Dork on Tuesday: “Trump is a salesman, as is Musk, and they are both trying to sell America on being an authoritarian state — but they can’t do it unless we allow them to do so.” www.lawdork.com/p/donald-tru...

Finally deleted the app formerly known as Twitter. Guess it wasn't that big a deal to me

Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico.

Eep opp ork ah ah

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

NEW: A military fighter jet has crashed into San Diego Bay. This is the 6th plane collision (and 2nd military collision) since Trump took office.
