I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

The Halloween party I went to was a model of the kinds of people I want to be around: all ages 79 years to 13 months, so many creative and fun costumes, interesting conversations, trans kids getting PhDs, autistic kids learning Spanish, I played Beyblade and had delicious chili.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.
The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

- 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi
- basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing
- each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

This is the week I think we passed the last offramp. Maybe we were done a while ago, but I optimistically held hope for a democratic transition and now I don't believe it's going to happen.

Lots of talk about this in the aviation community. A 737 over Utah may have been struck in the windshield by a meteorite. I want to emphasize that the safety design worked and the plane landed safely. If this turns out to be true it is an exceedingly rare, possibly unique event.

I’m hearing a pretty unusual reason for the crack in this windshield, if you have any intel would love to hear via DM. 🛰️
