It's called Plumpy'Nut. It's little packets that cost 40 cents not just to produce, but to ship to the population that needs them. It's fed to babies. It's fat, protein, carbs and essential vitamins, fed to babies so they grow on time, on target. It's brain food. DOGE dorks cancelled Plumpy'Nut.

Opinion | The FAA is in great hands with Elon Musk. SpaceX hasn't had a rocket explode in over two hours.

Swearing is also associated with greater honesty, higher creativity, greater verbal fluency and higher intelligence. My late mother in law used to say swearing is a sign of a limited vocabulary. If anything, it's associated with the opposite.

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

I confess I thought it was my personal lapse in language study (of Portuguese) that killed the green owl. I recommitted, showed up every day, and then was miffed that he hadn't revived-- www.npr.org/2025/02/26/n...

Astoria the Wild Turkey showed her balance and athleticism by flying up to perch on the fence of her favorite garden on Tuesday afternoon. 🦃 ❤️

The question isn't "Did he really do it?" (he did) or "Did he really mean it?" (he did), the question is, "What kind of person would do this?" Because that's the kind of person Elon Musk is.

I'm writing a piece on Trumpite intellectuals making the "spiritual case" for the conquest of Greenland, that it will spur a rebirth of the "pioneering frontier spirit" in America lost in the 1890s. And seeing now they're moving Inaugural inside because it's too cold. So yeah, not so sure abt this.

Kinda think if they kept women to the same low standard as Pete Hegseth, they'd be okay--

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617: Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel. Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

Costco seems to be the only major company that is rejecting MAGA's hate and remains committed to DEI. They said it helps them retain employees and improves and products and services. Meanwhile, META, McDonalds, Wal Mart, and Amazon can all kick rocks.

It was really important that Justice Alito speak to Trump about...recommending a former law clerk to an admin position. Like, really important, this Tuesday, when Trump has a sentencing in New York he'd like to cancel this Friday. With Trump calling in on his recommendation. Personally.

The entire community of Pacific Palisades is being told to “evacuate now” due to a rapidly spreading wildfire in the Los Angeles area

The most that can be said about the present moment is that there is disagreement within the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party about which faces to eat in what order.

FUN FACT: Donald Trump is still a convicted felon.

Me: I need strawberries that are packaged in the most jagged and thick plastic around Berry processing facility: yep we got it Me: but I also need blueberries in a container so flimsy it will explode like a grenade Berry processing facility: you’re not going to believe this

The story of Donald Trump has always been and will continue to be more of a crime story than a political story. If only the media recognized that in time.

This was the last race we were waiting on, which means 222 RFS candidates won in November - including 18 red to blue flips. The work is working. ✨
