I’m sure going to miss baseball over the long dark winter months. That was such a great World Series even though it didn’t end the way I would have liked.
Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

Last June we got a call about 2 huskies living rough in the heat of Thailand. Their owners just left.

They had been scavenging food and living in an abandoned villa.

Their story is remarkable and today it got its happy ending… (1/10) 🧵

Backyard bird I saw today. I’m not sure what bird, though. Looks kind of fly catcher-like. Southeast US. 🪶

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House.

Ronald Reagan had them removed.

By @fastlerner.bsky.social
EPA Scientists Said They Were Pressured to Downplay Harms From Chemicals. A Watchdog Found They Were Retaliated Against.
Three reports issued by the agency’s inspector general detailed personal attacks suffered by the scientists — including being called “stupid,” “piranhas” and “pot-stirrers” — and called on the EPA to…
