T.J. Mitchell

Just found a note from my kids teacher on Class Dojo that she got in trouble because she saw the boys playing the paper football game at lunch and asked them how to play and then bet her dessert and won 4 other kids desserts and then admitted to the teacher she's been playing with me since she was 3

"Security responded to the scene, followed by the hospital’s CEO & attorney, who huddled in a doctor’s office to discuss options for dealing with ICE, the nurse said."

Multiple planes of injury to the head. Dr Lindsey Thomas, quoted later in the piece, is as solid a #forensic source as you can get.

Mission Accomplished!

Thank you

Thanks for the kind words!

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

momentary exception to not posting to amplify how beautiful & powerful this Providence protest is #ICEout

Shall I compare thee to a fucking jerk

National squandered $6B for climate resilience projects, using it to top up tax cuts for their mates, and now local councils are footing the bill instead 👇🏼

This is Callie. She is trained to accurately detect bowel cancer in order to provide rapid diagnoses through non-invasive testing. Some might call it lab work, but Callie is actually a sprocker spaniel. 14/10 incredible job, Callie (IG: medicaldetectiondogs)

That is excellent. Excrementally so.

Having had in my youth a bike commute that included streets lined with jacarandas, can report 2 functions of said mix of oils & fragrant chemicals:
1. Intoxicating bicyclists as they huff their way to work;
2. Infuriating Beverly Hills bigwigs by falling onto & ruining the paint on their parked BMWs

And take it from me: your founding document falls into the use-it-or-lose-it category of Important Things

National park signs related to Native Americans, climate change to be removed Among the national parks targeted in the new removal orders are some of the country’s most iconic: Grand Canyon, Glacier, Big Bend and Zion.

They're also removing the remaining glaciers from Glacier National Park.

Robotaxis Are Coming To Europe, And People Aren’t Sure How To Feel London looks set to be the first city in Europe to host robotaxis. But a new survey shows that support for robotaxis lags behind support for traditional public transport.

My latest article for @forbes.com has just gone live. It's a look at a new survey of over 8500 European city dwellers (spoiler: people are more interested in improved public transport than they are in the robotaxis that are set to arrive in the coming year) www.forbes.com/sites/laurie...

Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

We call for a deescalation of tensions from both sides, the murderers and the people being murdered

Added 20% to bike, sapped 1% off car.
