I learned we were making this a video one day when I went up to a member of our video team and asked "why do we have a box of IV bags in the kitchen" and if you watch the video you will find out why.

I always point out that a lot of times you get exactly what you pay for. Living in a state with no income tax is cheaper, but not really worth it if you die in a flash flood because the legislature didn’t want to spend the money to upgrade and expand the early warning system.

similarly, in the US there are *far* more people working in museums than in coal mining. there are some industries that have salience as 'working people' and 'hearts of the community' (often after decades of intentional managed decline) and some that do not.
A reminder that more people are employed in the yoga industry than there are registered fishers working in the UK.

☹️ Pepper got returned to the shelter. When he first came in last year he was the scrungliest stray but so sweet. He looked like he was 3x his actual age. He got adopted a couple months ago and I don’t know why he was returned but he is just the nicest gentleman. www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

This stock market crash thing is so confusing. On one hand you have every economist and bank in the free world freaking out. On the other, there are some blue check accounts on Twitter with ancient statues as their profile pics doing 20 part threads on why down is the new up. 🤷🏻♀️

We are advising the US government on appropriate tariff rates on foreign players coming to MLS.
Currently the plan is for the government to collect tariff revenue in GAM.

Today my Bird of the Day is the California Scrub Jay. Seemed fitting to highlight this bird. It’ll likely be a while before I find the remaining North American Scrub Jay species but I fully intend to search out all the Jays in time. 🪶 #itsabird

I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition—I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable.

Musk is such a POS.
The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.
He was not dead.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.
