Now do ‘rein it in’!

Currently reading it and wow, written by a woman in her early 30s in the early days of Hitlers government- and she could already see where it was going. We can too, but in the 1930s she didn’t have our advantage of being able to look back on that very same history that was unfolding before her.

Yay!
It's often my starting word - unfortunately, not today.
It was, however, my word on line 2 - so that was fun.

I had dinner with a colleague from @inaturalist.bsky.social yesterday and Jeanne shared that their users are discovering an average of one brand-new-previously-unknown-to-science species EACH MONTH!

I promise that however disgusting he found this encounter, she sobered up the next day and swore that she would never lower her standards like that again. Or just swore off Harvard men forever.

I see floors like that and think that a control-freak owner who likes the high-maintenance requirements because it allows them to boss people around - you see every speck of dust.

My (maybe incorrect?) assumption is that most of the WH press corps now allowed into press conferences is made up of people for whom access is more important that journalism. Until they see more opportunity in fact-checking than in bootlicking, this will pass as 'news'

Done. Fair sailing and get it done!

Some days I miss having a teen girl in the house and all the teen friends' collateral family drama. Some days I don't.

This is one of the latter.

Also: USAID budget last year was (only) $36 billion.
