My money is on the astronaut.

I still have my K1000. My dad bought it for me at Kmart when I was in HS.

Same for me, with my dad.

If it’s a choice, choose no needles in your veins.

No I want an actual sea anemone. 😄

The point of having a standards editor is that you bring in a skilled, disinterested person to read or watch a story and point out possible bias, errors and lapses.

The actual story editors can miss those things because they're so closely tied to the production and reporting of the piece.

Oh my heart

I need a sea anemone hat.

Beyond the grave 🔥 take down of a truly ick human. I love that Sharon Begley did this.

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

It’s back-breaking work. Literally.

Thanks for this!

Fabricated quote; “Ford’s words echo what scientists have been warning for years — that political delay is ecological destruction,” said Dr. Michael Mann, climate scientist at the University of Pennsylvania.

Beware of AI-generated articles like this one from "International News & Views". The quote is fabricated! I never said this (even if might actually agree w/ the basic sentiment): internationalnewsandviews.com/harrison-for...

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The great journalists at @propublica.org did the hard work to compile a list of US citizens who have been detained by ICE.
Kristi Noem is a liar.
And a sadist (remember her CECOT glamor shots?)
And a fool.

Wowowow how is this our government?

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

3 times in the past 2 weeks, a WashPost editorial "has taken on matters in which Bezos has a financial or corporate interest without noting his stake. In each case, the Post's editorial line landed in sync with its owner's interests"

HEPATITAS is back

Oh ok, as long as it’s a strategy.

Beautifully expressed. I’m cleaning out my parent’s house and asking myself these same questions.
My mom’s recipe books, a selection of my dad’s tools, and ALL the barware is where I landed.
