Quest Diagnostics is running a Black Friday sale on lab tests. On the one hand, this doesn't seem like a sign of a healthy healthcare system. On the other hand, 25% off is a solid discount!

#BlueBooks for the second semster in a row. No regrets. The students' work is solid and I know it's theirs. We humans need accountability and transparency in order to flourish together.

UnitedHealth killed this young man. When will they be paraded around as a campaign prop then indicted?
It's time we stopped framing these deaths as anything but homicide by greed.

Even if you're not into EDM, "I'm Tim," the #Avicii documentary on Netflix, is worth your time. Such a vivid depiction of #anxiety and #addiction in the midst of joy and the pursuit of beauty.

To those claiming "This is normal for SoCal! It's always like this! There are always offshore winds in January! Vegetation dryness is irrelevant!", please reconsider your misinformation. This is intel intended directly for wildland fire personnel. #CAfire #CAwx #LAfires

Another tough reality: in urban firestorm of this magnitude, municipal water systems simply aren't designed to keep up.

The Los Angeles wildfires are at risk of contaminating the city's water supply, with ash, pathogens, toxic chemicals, flame retardants, and even melted pipes able to enter reservoirs and aqueducts.
Several communities have advised residents not to drink tap water.

What can I do, small as I am? One of the things that I love about #TheWildRobot is the scope of Roz's task. I cannot save the world. But I can nurture this one life in my hands, build community in a blizzard, and parent while the world burns, no matter what my programming says.

Loved #TheWildRobot novel and film from @peterbrownstudio.com! In the spirit of #EllenRipley and #SarahConnor, Roz is an impromptu universal mother for the apocalypse. Okay, with fewer guns (rated PG). But with a backdrop of just as much corporate greed threatening to destroy us all.
