Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

President Domenico Grasso discusses pursuing his PhD at U-M , meeting his wife in an engineering graduate class, and his priorities as president of “the best and greatest university, not in America, but in the world.” Full video interview: myumi.ch/8q2GM

Gruesome but Honorable Work – AHA Grieving family members were instrumental in the creation of a federal program to rebury and repatriate the remains of fallen soldiers after World War II.

From #AHAPerspectives in 2021: After WWII, @kimclarke.bsky.social's widowed grandmother and "thousands of others insisted the government uphold a commitment it had made to military families for decades—to bring home its fallen soldiers." 🗃️

Heeyooo. I'm offering free pet portraits to any federal employees who recently lost their jobs, as well as veterans who no longer have access to services they previously relied on. >>Will you share this post so it reaches someone who could use a happy piece of art featuring their pet? #petsofbluesky

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Absolutely outrageous treatment of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

His Death Was Interrupted, Just as He Had Planned Brendan Costello’s family was bracing for goodbyes. But he had one last wish.

What a beautiful piece of reporting and writing by @danbarry58.bsky.social. Highly recommended.

TERRY GROSS: “I’m going to ask you for a little lesson in etiquette. Do I call you President Carter, Mr. President, or our former President Jimmy Carter?”

JIMMY CARTER: “One of the nice things about our country is that you can call me anything you want to.”

Looks like a high school shop project.

I suppose this is why so many authors are incensed about AI “writing” — it’s clearly just something tech dullards created to compensate for their own weaknesses and now they’re projecting that on all of us.

Look, I’m sorry you suck at writing. But don’t make the rest of us suffer your failures.

Always interesting #popularhistory reading!

Lovely dress. Which bathroom will he be allowed to use at the White House?

How to become a writer checklist: writing a book is the worst idea you've had yet! You're not going to make any money! It's going to be nearly impossible to get people to care! Nobody has heard of you! Then go for it.
