Attention women runners! (You're doing great) I'm looking for anecdotes about a time you were a victim of a crime while running and you reported it to authorities -- particularly if they dismissed you. This is for a story -- please DM for contact information. (and share!) #running #runnerstories

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated.
The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.
Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

When we don’t speak up, we all lose out. Everyone should be able to get their yearly Covid shots, just like the flu shots. This is outrageous. Leave your comment.

This is good news. And no, poor families do NOT have to have Netflix to access Sesame Street. Netflix will release episodes to PBS the *same day* they drop on Netflix, which is significantly better than the prior deal with HBO, which delayed episodes for 9 MONTHS before porting them over to PBS.
“Sesame Street” has found itself a new home.
Netflix announced that the decades-old public educational television program will premiere its 56th season on the global streaming giant, along with 90 hours of previous episodes.

So The Hunger Games? Or that scene in The Dark Knight with the broken pool cues. You know.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.
