Was watching a livestream of the Mamdani election party. I assume the sound is off bc different news network streaming on the big screen, but it was still a delight seeing all those hands go up in celebration when it was called for Zohran. So happy for NYC

Democrats think Republican voters are stupid? Republicans are SURE their voters will forget about their candidate lying through his teeth all campaign and that they did nothing to mitigate the harm his policies are already causing those same voters by next November

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.
1/ A🧵on the danger.

Because @scalzi.com is a popular writer who doesn't like to keep the rest of his fans waiting, I'm sharing the photos of my #cats here instead of at the autograph table. They just turned a year old. Rafter is the black and white one, and Pajamas is the gray one #iykyk #crocs

Just left the @scalzi.com reading and signing in Saratoga Springs for his new book, When the Moon Hits Your Eye. Looking forward to reading it! Sounds like the kind of silliness I can get into

Hey I know "They're eating our pets!" dominated headlines after the September debate but I haven't been able to stop thinking about this moment. Kamala Harris tried to tell us.
‘Putin will eat you for lunch’: Watch Kamala Harris predict Trump would concede to Russian President
Drawing from her own experience, Harris detailed her involvement in rallying support for Ukraine, recalling a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky just days before Russia’s invasion.

The fatality rate for bird flu in cats is staggeringly high (up to 90% depending on the study).
Outdoor cats are at highest risk.
Keep your cats inside. Don’t feed them raw food. Keep them away from birds (especially water birds). Wash your hands thoroughly if you’ve been in contact with livestock

The cats had no known exposure to infected poultry, livestock, raw milk, or raw meat, but roamed freely outdoors where they may have been exposed to wild birds or other animals.

Honest question - do NTs ever have that dream where you have to be somewhere on time but every time you see a clock some impossible span of time has passed?
I have that dream all the time but it's also how I experience time when I'm awake and I promise you it's even more frustrating from the inside

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead
