This is great.

Also if you run out of baby formula call your pediatrician they should have sample cans to give you.

These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

Preemptive reminder that Samaritan's Purse doesn't follow disaster relief and recovery best practices, not even in Franklin Graham's backyard of Western North Carolina, and they're not a good organization to donate to for Hurricane Melissa recovery.

A map image from the Flight Radar 24 service shows the flight track of a NOAA P-3 Orion aircraft flying over the Caribbean Sea, where Hurricane Melissa threatens to bring catastrophic rain and flooding to Jamaica and Haiti. Most other aircraft appear to be steering clear of the area.

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

As we watch #Melissa in the coming week+, make sure you're getting reliable information.
Definitely go to www.nhc.noaa.gov, but also follow experts who don't get into the hype and can offer valuable insights. I have a starter pack of trusted "hurricane gurus" to help with this: go.bsky.app/88mXQKD

Engineered “natural killer” cells could help fight cancer Researchers found a way to engineer CAR-NK immune cells that makes them much less likely to be rejected by the patient’s immune system, a common drawback of this type of cancer immunotherapy.

MIT and Harvard researchers have re-engineered the immune system’s first responders so they can hunt tumours. In mouse models, they wiped out most lymphoma cells within weeks and avoided the dangerous immune storms that plague some CAR-T therapies. buff.ly/e587uzZ

In Paris five years ago, the teacher’s strike had a DJ on a double-decker bus and everybody danced. It was the coolest street party I’d ever been a part of. We walked into it accidentally.

I actually asked the hotel attendant to come and do it for me. Felt like an idiot until they showed me.

Never, ever would have found it on my own.

I went to sit outside overnight and walked back in drenched from humidity. That’s how it is down here.

It’s a fair trade for lack of snow and sunny days year round.

That is so, so cool.

It was! It was up on the hill looking down on the river. The wealthy gathered up there. Still do.

That is simply amazing! Turned out a lot of the families stayed in Fort Thomas where I went to grade school and were listed in the phone book.

I did a report in grade school about the Syndicate in NKY. I got really into it and called local families of the mobsters. My Dad said maybe I didn’t need interviews. 😂

I don't want to see other candidates imitating what Mamdani's campaign is doing (or copying Newsom's social media team) as much as I want to see candidates think about what they are doing.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

As a long-time technical recruiter, people want to think they are making a strictly professional decision.

What I know, however, is that where you work, what you work on, and how much money you have to feed your family is a deeply emotional choice.

That’s why my pitches were honest and emotional

Or if they even see dissent as in their interest. That powerful R party that Pelosi said was vital could really be more about fundraising than push and pull for policy. Primarying Cori Bush suggested to me that the party is convinced that they know best, not the voter.

"Her family says she uses an insulin pump that would have run out by now...

'Victoria might be acting erratically or not in able body at this point, she might be in a diabetic crisis,' said Victoria's aunt Danielle Matthias.

If you know where she is you're asked to call 911."

Congrats! I’m glad you have her close now.

Dragos just opened 21 positions in Australia, UK, and US/Canada. Not my team, not the hiring manager, but there is an array of roles

Tell them what you do and then an AMA.

Now this is how you do positive messaging around climate solutions

I DO NOT WANT TEAMS IN MY CAR, I DO NOT WANT IT NEAR OR FAR. I WOULD NOT LOG ON IN A JAG, I WOULD NOT CALL IN FROM A CAB, I DO NOT WANT THIS TEAMS YOU SEE, GET IT FAR AWAY FROM ME

this is so awesome

Once again, life without walkies was tough on your followers. I’m so glad to see this tonight, of all nights. Thank you, Ned. 💙
