I'm seeing people note that the message is the same but it's coming from a range of handles--some more plausible than others. So yeah, stay sharp, report etc.

I imagine this must work on some people, but as a phishing attempt, it's hobbled by the fact that its core claim is proven false by the very fact that I'm able to see the phishing attempt.

(Sorry been offline most of today and I just need some kind of hope. Tiny lil light or something. Just lie to me I guess. Anything really.)

So, house Dems get rolled over by the majority, and the govt restarts, but Grijalva gets sworn in at last, the Epstein files vote happens and they get released, and 30% of Congress immediately steps down/retires/face litigation or all 3, making for historic midterms--is that a possible throughline?

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.

In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”

And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

Man, I was all excited going to read the Hansard report from the day the lesbians abseiled into the House of Lords to protest Section 28, but all it says is "[Interruption]" 😂

Giving thanks for the good nerds at the NWS this morning, as I can quickly pull up the latest (0211) detailed condition reports from the overnight team, square them w/transit alerts, and make an informed decision about my commute. They do this for us. They haven't been paid for a month.

Bands of intense lake effect snow are expected tonight into Monday near many of the Great Lakes areas highlighted in this image. Dangerous to impossible travel conditions are possible, including during the Monday Morning commutes for some. Get details for your area at weather.gov
Map of the Great Lakes region showing winter weather alerts for parts of Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana. Purple areas indicate Winter Weather Advisories, dark blue shows Winter Storm Watches, and pink highlights Winter Storm Warnings. Warnings are concentrated near Lake Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, including the Chicago area.” Protect yourself from snow squalls. If a Snow Squall Warning is issued, delay travel. If you’re already driving, safely exit the road at the next opportunity. If you cannot exit the road in time: Slow down, but avoid slamming the brakes. Turn on your low-beam headlights and hazard lights. Pull over safely to the side of the road, and remain in the vehicle with your seatbelt on.

Think I may stay offline this evening. The vibe on here is not great this afternoon and isn't likely to get better once the chips fall. I'll get the news when I get it.

enough energy even to cover the basics seems to be in wide deficit lately --I think a whole lot of us are staring at tasks that we know we could do, and need to do, and...are not doing (yet). hope you can shore up some to get it done soon.
