The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets.
These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

REI is one of my favorite stores, and recent events (notably signing a letter endorsing Doug Burgum for Interior Secretary) have made me so sad. I just voted NO on the three candidates for the board. I encourage other REI members to join me. More information here: www.ourrei.com/2025-rei-boa...

I don’t get how a bike lane and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure is being blamed for a driver speeding and losing control of their vehicle before hitting and killing a pedestrian. It seems like drivers are never to blame; something else always makes them drive dangerously.

Thank you @washingtonpost.com for taking up the mantle of dispelling the myth that Benjamin Franklin suggested the Wild Turkey should be our national symbol instead of the Bald Eagle. This is my annual reminder that IT WAS SATIRE.
![A screenshot of the daily Washington Post game "On the record." The quote at the top reads: "[The Turkey] is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird." -This Founding Father, in an unpublished letter to his daughter.
The quiz question is: A Thanksgiving myth for you! Which multitasking Founding Father and inventor has been said to think the turkey should be the national bird? (The actual content of the letter was merely joke.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ihsrofmwnc6szutrpcfezuec/bafkreigr3twf2u5yqpqsjipdxf5winjl6forztdudc3a2do4jgdhzdsvsm@jpeg)
