Gave the baby a truly unholy cupboard raid lunch consisting of baked beans and falafel. The best part is he's a baby so has no idea that's not a normal meal to eat

Trump officials are trying to sneak around federal judges’ orders.

They could be held in civil contempt of court, which can include jail time and can’t be undone with a presidential pardon, according to @sbagen.bsky.social .

I encourage all those in New York City in favor of Congestion Pricing to attend this rally today. Keeping this law in effect benefits so many... the disabled, elderly, those with young children, bicyclists, pedestrians, the environment, reducing pollution & crowded roads, etc.

Vocabulary is conceptual knowledge. Words are gateways to concepts.

Upgrade your personal lexicon. You'll have a broader intuitive grasp of things. If you're teaching or debating, though? De-academize that shit. Don't make me hate your major. (I'm looking at *you*, philosophy grads.)
“Never underestimate your audience’s intelligence, always underestimate their vocabulary” is a rule I teach in my workshops.

And part of this is tone. Don’t act like your audience (family or not) is stupid for not knowing 15-syllable science words.

This is sick. The email reads like Musk wrote it.
So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Answering some questions: the series covers the first novella "All Systems Red," I'm a consulting producer, and we've been working on it since 2021. (So it seems fast from the timing of the announcements but it has actually taken a million years in me-time.)

Yikes! Not great news for those of us who do wear high vis, reflective clothing. Drivers really should keep their eyes on the road but car manufacturers also need to test these things before releasing the product into the urban wilds

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.

Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.

And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!
