It’s so painful.

We just had three in Silver Spring.

This is unspeakably bad.

I miss Nora Ephron and Molly Ivins so much.

Was looking for a bookstore last week in Butler County..this B&N popped up on Google Maps but it was (obviously) not open yet, am glad it's open now! (Ended up going to Half Price Books in Fairfield--checked out Dubois Books in Oxford but it was full of Miami-themed gear of all sorts and no books).

Thank you for posting this--I shared it with our neighborhood association group.

Sumimasen. Kudasai. Mizu. Doko desu-ka. Ichi, ni, san. Somehow that got my kids and me through Tokyo and Kyoto.

Their comma usage the last few days has been…discouraging.

I was amazed at how fast the online renewal was—thought there might be delays because of staffing issues and it’s good to know at least one federal office is still on their game.

I love research like this! Thanks for writing it up.

What's your sign?

Kind of like the chairman of a Senate subcommittee

Right there with ya

Yes. I was in DC gridlock for three hours and there was no honking, no one was cutting anyone else off…we created openings to let others in front of us even when it meant we wouldn’t move for another ten minutes.

This is impeccable and it hurts.

Is this from the National Agricultural Library (www.nal.usda.gov)? It has so much good stuff like this in their collections--an amazing resource.

I used to work for National Geographic and a good map is just ❤️

Have a family member right now who is doing his best to stay balanced and I’m so scared he will get caught up in this.

Probably to keep out all those pretentious left-wing radicals who have no appreciation for a real artist like Thomas Kinkade.

I wish you all the best!

A close second: “This won’t need much editing.”

@popville.bsky.social hi, can you ask your squad how everyone is doing with #passport renewal? Is online working ok? Am worried because I know some state dept cuts are affecting the passport office. Thank you!

Hope you’re right about ARS!

Yes, important collaborators with ARS and research that is just as essential.

USDA also has a scientific research agency, the Agricultural Research Service. Ninety locations all over the country, more than 1000 PhD scientists plus techs and admin staff. Is ARS the next to go?

Absolutely

I am sorry to hear you are leaving, am sure the next level will be great.

Yes, every time I’m given an AI summary to edit, it takes much more time than if I’ve written it myself.

I would buy it in several different colors.

This is so frightening for you and I’m so sorry. 💙
