Ah, FB memories serving up some winners. This is what an itemized $1,330,000 NICU hospital bill looks like (only 96 days to get there). The apple is there for scale. Here’s why I share it. Too many ppl don’t know abt lifetime caps and pre-existing bans. Bc the STILL-VULNERABLE ACA banned them.

It's Moon fortnight!
We are broadcasting LIVE coverage of the Apollo 11 mission (with a 55 year time slip), so mark your calendars. From now until the 24th, it's (nearly) daily coverage, with big swathes of coverage for launch, landing, moonwalk, and splashdown.

I need an Andor episode that recreates this, if even just a little. Just the most chinless Imperial governor getting chased off a podium by Kitser, the little bat species, and some Ewoks.

Have a backup plan in case it turns out there’s a strike action planned for that day, regardless of the transportation mode you choose. But I believe by law they have to announce 2-3 weeks in advance, so there shouldn’t be any chance of you being surprised at the station. www.strikecalendar.co.uk

Hello social medias...

You may not be aware a major Cat 5 hurricane struck an area that normally doesn't get them. The eye passed directly over Carriacou and Petit Martinique.

The devastation is tremendous. The need is great.

You can help and make a difference:

For anyone doing this: USPS prices are going up on July 14th. Postcard stamps are going up from 53¢ to 56¢, & regular stamps are going up by 5¢.

I think you can order them at the old prices from USPS until the 13th. USPS sells one variety of 'forever' postcard stamp: store.usps.com/store/produc...

I just spent five minutes of my lunch break calling the White House, Schumer, and Durbin and asking for these 5 things: 1. Haul Alito and Thomas in to Judiciary for hearings; 2. establish an inspector general for SCOTUS under Article III; 3. docket reform, esp. the mandatory docket; . . . .

Leader of the PS (left bloc member) just spoke. He said: Whenever PS candidate is in runoff & in 3rd place, & far-right can win, their candidate will drop out to block far-right. Will Macronists? Bayrou, a Macronist leader, just tied himself in knots to say nothing precise.

Right-wingers have been trying to rewrite the truth of Trump's 2017 "very fine people remarks", oftentimes blaming a lAcK oF cOnTeXt from the left.

So I decided to solve that problem.

I always say D.C. is unique because it never had a manufacturing sector or ports and hence no blue collar identity. But as Boston’s at the forefront of a transition to info and service-based economy, I think I get what you’re going for.

Strong recommend these 3 minutes from Reggie Jackson. The n-word was the least of the malevolent racism he faced in 1960s Birmingham, Alabama. Jackson slept on the couch of a white teammate and his wife until they "were threatened that they would burn our apartment complex down unless I got out."

Under all the math and engineering involved in this "advanced" plastic recycling process, my colleague @lisalsong.bsky.social found an inconvenient truth:

Not much is being recycled at all, nor is pyrolysis capable of curbing the plastic crisis.

Not now. Maybe not ever.
