Welp, that was a heckuva little thunderstorm that just hit us and woke me up. I wish Cannon’s radar wasn’t out.

Higgins!

I’m so appalled.

Sometimes there’s enough money left over to spread it around and keep employees paid until it runs out. Sounds like that is the case here.

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

Ooh. I have some that I should pair with black spinel and some pumpkin/themed charm for earrings.

As I ran I caught a glimpse of it, just in the grasses off the pavement. Prairie rattler sized, but with brighter coloring.

The first I’ve seen in our 7500 ft msl rural neighborhood and only the guy’s second. He’s been here since late 90s and me since 2008. We walk and hike a lot, so it was unusual and surprising.

Oh, gosh, I’m sorry. I feel bad for you guys (also knowing it will be that something that comes this way).

Nice. If I may add 2 cents: The real reason BW quit the Times was that as soon as Katie Kingsbury took over from James Bennet, she told her she could no longer commission and edit articles. She could only write. But commissioning articles was key to her grift. I mean literally. She promoted herself among certain circles as the key to getting into the Times. Which is one reason why I and others blocked so many of her commissioned pieces (one reason: they were also terrible). She said it was our deep ideological bias against conservatives. What so many of us found offensive about that is that our esprit de corps was based on not being ideologically biased (to a fault, if anything — pobody's nerfect). It was so obvious that it was all a grift, and that it would end badly, with her defenestrating all the people she had sucked up to.

this from @risenc.bsky.social is really something (about Bari Weiss and her grift)

I mentored her when she first started out - I’ve known her for a long time. Her little sister babysat my kiddo. It’s been hard to watch over the years.

Thank you for sharing your passage through grief with us. Sending peaceful thoughts your way.

Jesus. My friend and former colleague with MS had Covid again, followed by a cold and landed in the hospital with a collapsed lung. She’s had pulmonary long covid since her first bout. I fear for her.
