Deep cleaning on a Saturday like my forbearers with jams in the back. Its been 4 hours and I've moved every piece of furniture, dusted every surface, mopped & swept, and am finishing up with the vacuum. I haven't been this productive in ages. Maybe the sads are lifting through the power of pinesol?

As a glasses wearer since I was 5 years old, the best part of my year is picking out my new frames. Happy new frames day!

Spending an hour putting a wandering 3 year old back in bed is what counts for a wild night these days.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.
But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

An analysis by ProPublica and The Assembly of the more rural counties in North Carolina hardest hit by Helene shows that the households that got the most aid tended to have the highest incomes.

RECOVERY HAS A WHOLE SKILL SET THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM RESPONSE AND WEATHER REPORTING. THIS IS LIKE ASKING AN ENT TO DISCUSS THE RECOVERY OF A CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY. SURE THEY ARE BOTH DOCTORS BUT THEY SPECIALIZE IN DIFFERENT THINGS.
I say this again, and with respect, meteorologists are great. They play a critical role. But relying on meteorologists to discuss disasters on TV coverage is not ideal. Especially when you have them speculating on recovery- which is not something they should be expected to know about.

But what does this mean when you're faced with this administration? All I want to tell my people is that trust between the states and feds is irretrievably broken and states need to build their capacity in ways heretofore unknown. It's like an abusive relationship at this point.
