For the last 2 years, for WIRED, I've been on the trail of the Zizians, gifted young people who set out to save the world and ended up enveloped in violence and death. You may have seen headlines about them. This is their story, based on years of reporting in real time: www.wired.com/story/deliri...

My adventures in baking gluten free isn’t going very well, but I don’t give up! The baguettes were not great but were decent enough to make garlic bread. So, into the freezer they went. I’m trying my hand at challah now—🤞

If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.

“Not wavering” under the pressure of the White House actually is an achievement and one that’s worth praising. It’d be nice if other media outlets cared about journalism enough to stand alongside them.

This is so enraging, and sad, and… … I can’t think of any other adjectives to describe how this makes me feel…

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

One of Canada’s sagest public figures, Bob Rae is absolutely correct. We are now in the fight of our lives, and not just Canada. What’s left of the free world.

Happy Congressional recess week! In honor of it, I put together a tracker of every vote the US House has taken so far this year. Which Democrats are standing up to Trump's agenda and which are being willful accomplices? docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

A colleague and I have been tracking those segregationist changes and vetting alternatives. I refuse to buy from those abandoning DEI. Here is the spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

#Chicago #Madison Asking for recommendations in the N IL/S WI area for breast reconstruction/med-reduction surgeons. The one I was interested in is no longer in-network. I’m looking more at mastectomy/recon/med type surgeons bc my situation isn’t typical, but ~good~ gen plastics I will consider.

My kid was dx w/ ADHD young. Do you know 1 method of diagnosis that’s REALLY clear cut? If you give amphetamines, i.e. speed, to neurotypical people they—rightly—run around, well like they’re on speed. It’s not supposed to slow you down, but if you have ADHD it does. Pretty fucking definitive test!

The fact that this article got written at all is journalistic malpractice. You should be ashamed of yourself, PBS.
