I’m a wife, daughter, granddaughter, cousin, niece, and close friend of brave veterans. My blood is now boiling at the fact that a pompous, entitled, rich boy draft dodger is so flippantly tossing around verbiage that he thinks makes him look like a tough guy. He’s a coward of the lowest life form.

It’s the 25th anniversary of the Nisqually quake in Washington state. I was listening to Wu-Tang in my office at Amazon when I realized that the bass had suddenly become much louder. Then I noticed a coworker urging everyone to get under doorways

I can relate. One specific regret I have is not calling in sick the night The Hold Steady and The Drive-by Truckers played at First Avenue, could’ve been ~ 2007

She walked away with silver for snowboarding, but I'd give her the gold for using her voice for good.

Not only did my friend Chloe Kim represent us well on the snow, but she spoke up for unity, compassion, and inclusion at this year's Olympics. You’ve made us very proud, Chloe!

We saw some Iberian Green Woodpeckers in Madrid but didn’t get good pictures. Thanks for posting this!

Lindsey Vonn did not crash because of her ACL.

I got up early this morning to watch the women's downhill event at the Olympics. I watched the whole event, from the pre-show to Team USA's Breezy Johnson posting the gold-winning time to Lindsey Vonn being medevaced off the mountain.

This is what I did.
Started with bulky yarn on a large round loom. Changed to crochet with a 6mm hook. Put 4 stitch markers equally spaced, decreased at each corner until it came to a point. Don’t look too close; not adept enough to create a pattern, but maybe others will be able to use the idea.

What is the permission structure that would allow a person (or large groups of people) to change their long-held beliefs or political identity?
What would it cost them to change sides?
Please discuss with your experts in social psychology

We’re watching you interview Governor Shapiro. You referred to sports team loyalty in a semi-serious way but it raises a serious question. Is it harder for a person to change their team loyalty than it is to change their political opinions? Is the mechanism the same?

Fresh frozen unholy hell we came back to in Minneapolis
(were also in Europe on vacation). As always, proud of my state, ashamed of my country.
I hope you had a wonderful, well-deserved respite.
