Enjoys how she yowled pitifully for 35 minutes to get out of the carrier, got out at the vet’s office, then got right back in voluntarily.

There is much to appreciate about “Conclave” but most of all, I appreciated the pov of the person tasked with the difficult job, leading despite their feelings of unworthiness. The acting was delicious. Was not prepared to see Lithgow looking like Rumsfeld tho…

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

#books #booksky I would love a round up of titles like this … “The Bone Setter’s Daughter” “The French Lt.’s Woman” “The Oligarch’s Daughter.” Usually the subject is defined by their relationship to a man, usually the subject is female. What titles can you share with me?

Since reading this article, I have been thinking about that rural school district now on the hook for new buses, buses that are WAITING to be picked up, and the impact it’s going to have on how few teachers it will be able to hire.

1000 probationary Department of Veterans Affairs employees fired. OIT, Procurement, and Veterans Benefits Administration. They are lying and saying it won’t affect support for veterans. news.va.gov/press-room/v...

This also includes veterans, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience. Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”

LL Bean makes a good product, but after 45 years and who-knows-how many miles, it was time to let these old soldiers go. He kept the laces, though.

Americans have no idea what their president has stirred up in Canada. The public broadcaster has dedicated 12 consecutive hours (and counting) of live coverage of the tariffs. My social media is filled with "buy Canadian" tips. The American anthem is being booed on Hockey Night in Canada.

From 2018-2023, I skated 2-4x weekly at the Mt. Vernon Rec Center, which has been closed for renovation. We had a community of regular skaters who fanned out to various rinks in the area. I held my breath yesterday… 🧵

How many of us keep proof of citizenship or legal residency handy? Military documents weren’t good enough for one man, who was detained for hours. Navajo people were denied use of their phones to call relatives for their documents for hours.
