At the gym with my coach this morning. PB: 180 lb squat, 1X (that felt good!). Also, DL, 3X 185, 2X 205, failed at 207 (best PB ever was 210). Then bench, with some great tips on shoulder and back alignment. 12 weeks out from my first meet. #oldladieslift

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

What's your take on an ophthalmologist asking a new patient how often and at what intensity they exercise as the only questions in an online screening? I work out all the time, but feeling some kind of way about this. How do you read it? I mean, exercise doesn't seem vision-related, so WTH?

@keithboykin.bsky.social "UPDATE: Duffy actually said that Trump is launching an investigation into funding and not that funding has been cut off yet, but it seems pretty clear from the tone of his remarks that the “investigation” is just a ruse to provide cover for the funding cut."

So my partner's @linkedin.com was hacked, and someone took over their account. We reported it, but nothing has happened yet. I also wrote to two colleagues who work there now asking for help. Any other advice or ideas? #hacked. #ugh (dog for the algorithm)

I wondered when I would see the trickle-down for US DOE grants to client projects. I just got this: "The U.S. Department of Education has chosen not to award funding for Round 2 of the #FAFSA Support Strategy." Bye, F2025's FAFSA outreach strategies and technical improvement projects.

Nnedi Okorafor’s new novel, like Richard Power’s Playground, integrates ideas about AI into the plot. It’s a less self-consciously “literary” and more vibrant book than Playground–and one I could not stop reading. Find out more here: https://buff.ly/4hWDlzS

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Here's @mindyanns.bsky.social with a valuable reminder in the age of Trump 2.0: "We can only face the underlying problems and create solutions by ignoring the non-stop crazy."

Who’s really the president? Elon Musk wants federal judges impeached for blocking Trump’s agenda—so, of course, House Republicans are drafting articles of impeachment against them. Elon’s 4-year-old human shield called it.
