U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I just flipped through City & State's Brooklyn 100 and am shocked that they have well over 100 people on that list. Also, it platforms some anti-muslim voices.

Using old records, scientists created a new dataset on how ice coverage has shifted since 1897. Researchers are already using it to study a declining fish species.

And then he decided it would be funny to lock people IN the bathroom.

He just did it to a deaf elder and did it so quickly that we didn't realize it until she was having difficulty getting out of the bathroom.

Now, we're un-childproofing the house.
Our 3.5 yo son has figured out how to bypass his third set of "child proof" locks.

What lock picking set is appropriate for 4 year olds?

Today in Richmond Hill, 75+ neighbors showed up to march and rally for a permanently car-free Freedom Dr. in Forest Park. Locals families, kids, older adults, runners, cyclists, and disability justice leaders shared why they need people-first park roads. @ny4p.bsky.social was happy to support.

Wow. While neighbors marched for safety, CM Joann Ariola chose to drive on Freedom Dr through the rally. Her message to families in the area and kids who attend school 2 blocks away? Their safety matters less than a 0.3 mile shortcut for a few. 🎥: Safer Streets Richmond Hilll

"Inspire the next generation by living your truth," Gladys May West.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
