His alleged mistress left her precious heated blanket on the other plane, so Corey Lewandowski demanded the pilot turn the plane around to go get it.
When he refused, Lewandowski -- who has zero authority to fire anyone at any time -- tried to fire the pilot IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLIGHT.

There is a veterinary scientist in Japan who has created a vaccine for feline kidney disease. It's in practical trials now. It's a goddamn miracle and expected to extend feline life spans by ten to fifteen years, when it gets here.

a revised statement about fish is known as a "codicil"
Lots of updates right now, leading with this: D.C. officials are walking back a statement from the head of @doeedc.bsky.social saying he would feel comfortable eating fish out of the Potomac River right now. They tell me the existing guidance stands: Avoid any contact with the river water.
Made my way up to where the Potomac Interceptor sewage pipe broke late last month just north of Cabin John, Md. The C&O Canal between locks 12 and 10 is being used to divert sewage around the broken portion; it’s essentially an open-air sewer at this point.

I’m going to keep sharing this PSA: although the MMR is usually given at 12 and 18 months, your baby can get a first dose as early as 6 months. They will still need the other two doses, because immunity doesn’t stick at that age, and insurance may not cover it. But it’s protection.

It’s an almost meta form of delusion at this point. People stick with Musk because they’re convinced he can bullshit investors about his tech, but nobody believes his bullshit, so the only thing he’s actually bullshitting people about is his ability to convince people of his bullshit.

Does John Tory realise that if he runs again for mayor he will be opening himself up to endless questions about the incredible shrinking Smart Track? Was supposed to be 22 stations (14 new), open in 2022. Now it’s three or four new stations, open who knows when
Well now Metrolinx has removed King-Liberty from their list of ongoing projects. So glad the City of Toronto decided to defund it and dare Metrolinx to cancel it. Great work everyone.
