Since people are amped up to give to their neighbors I have a couple anecdotes to share. No judgement just little things you might not think of depending on your intended recipients. A lot of people donate old bagels but lots of folks we feed don't have the teeth to handle that....

I don't feel at liberty to comment directly on any of the handful of recent public health related headlines out of RI but I can't over-emphasize how important real-time interstate and international collaboration are in getting a handle on disease transmission and food contamination

Something I think underlies this story is that the AG's office has the most agency of any of RI's statewide electeds; in that it can actually take people to court as part of its official duties and gets to opine on laws a lot in way that carries weight.
How Neronha's transformation of AG's office makes it the 2026 race to watch
Attorney General Peter Neronha's vision for the office was limited only by his imagination. Will his successor follow his precedent?

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.

Left a message with Reed, can't get through to Whitehouse. Jokes on him the longer I wait to leave that message the more it festers
I'm leaving a message with my senators in #mapoli Mass. If they don't call on Schumer to resign, then it's tacit agreement with the decision. Voting no isn't enough if you don't call for consequences for selling out the American people; then you agree with the decision, and he is covering for you

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.
My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

Just thinking again how Democrats asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.
Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
