Er. This sounds like my 1978 electronic music composition 🤔. What’s past is the future.

Pick up a copy of Good Things to Eat; it’s got a fascinating place in food social history.

I guess sucking up to authoritarians does have its limits.

Duke has been a scourge my entire 68 years, and if the public will to change it has finally arrived, I’m here for it!

Not if you realize that that’s going to be another detention center for even more innocent people that INS drags off the streets. It makes perfect sense in this new regime.

Such an excellent use of the word “shelled.” More headline writers should try it.

if you are hoping or studying to work in public health right now, you will have one of the most important and monumental jobs in our nation’s history — to build back our public health infrastructure and workforce better and more equitably

Jeez, these effing comments. Have some class, people; go feast on someone else’s bones who actually deserves your contempt. Connolly has served our Commonwealth boldly and honorably, and this is a terrible loss not only for Virginia, but for Congress, as well.

They’re sure going to miss @noaa.gov and FEMA. And while this administration continues to demolish public health and all its capacities to support local communities, they’re going to feel it in other ways, too.
