This is Winnie. He got so excited that he briefly forgot how to be a dog. You can laugh, but he'd like to point out you look this ridiculous all the time. 13/10 (TT: brisbreaks)

The Trump administration, through the OMB (OMB-2026-0034), is making a direct attack on non-partisan research by proposing (key phrase here) that research: demonstrably advance the President's policy priorities. It then defines rules changes. 1/2 #research

Loved a keyboard phone. I jumped at the Clicks Power Keyboard (keyboard/battery to magsafe compat phone). Unfortunately, doesn't work FOR ME. I find: combo too top heavy; the keyboard lower than the screen makes it hard to type (bottom of phone interferes). Buttons are too small. #clickskeyboard

What a piece of sh*t. You don't buy a storied institution like the WashPo as an investment. He is a hypocritical piece of garbage. Who is also a liar and re-writing history to placate his orange master. #bezos #wapo

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

KNICKS IN FIVE KNICKS PRIDE BROOKLYN

#uber In the Uber app, when you click on your image, there is an option called "Simple mode," w/ the subtitle "a simplified app for older adults." I'm not a "senior adult," as it asks, but I selected it b/c it turns off the crap Uber shoves down our throats & back to a ride share app. Recommended.

Been going to UK for decades, & a favorite thing was picking up a stack of computer mags. They had a wonderful snark American 'zines didn't... & then they all disappeared. Paper mags died. And, lo and behold, my latest trip, I find on the shelf PC Pro! Simple thing but makes me happy. #pcpro #pcmag

@vicmsong.bsky.social Hi V. Listened to the podcast you talked CGMs. My late wife suffered from eating disorders & disordered eating. & hearing you talk about how these devices affected your own physical mental well-being was poignant. I just wanted to say how brave I found you.I cried for you & her

Difference between #Europeans and Americans: Euro: You're going to London. Maybe you could visit Marketing? Me: I'm on vacation. I could carve out a couple of hours. Euro: No. No. Take your vacation. Americans: ... me: I'm on vacation... Americans: Please take a day of your vacation to do this.

#incomeinequality #income #women From the Wellesley Centers for Women about income disparity in Massachusetts (generally considered a supportive state for women) for minority groups and women within them.

#dating My dating profile said I was an atheist & widower. On a date girl talked about god. I asked if she read my profile? She'd seen I'd been to Machu Pichu so thought I was spiritual?! Then asked how my wife died (suicide), and asked: did you love her? Thankfully, a coffee date & over quickly.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Big surprise. Another corrupt #republican politician.

NEW: Kalshi announces details into two insider trading investigations. WIRED confirms that one suspended account belongs to California congressional candidate Kyle Langford: www.wired.com/story/kalshi...

#trumpaccounts We received an email from our financial mgr on the new "tax account for juveniles" often called "Trump account." They referred as such. We weren't happy. My spouse wrote: I wish you and your company would not use that very unfortunate account name. 1/2

2/2 #trump My spouse: This man is a shame to this country and using this perpetuates a despot's name. He should not be glorified in any capacity. I wrote: I had the same gut reaction. They are called 530A accounts. People use 401k, so I think they can learn "530a".

#work #corporatelife IM from one of my team: What is 'CCR' that Heather referenced in her email to me? Me: New name for PS&T....I have no idea what it stands for (don't know what PS&T stood for either) A story of corporate life.
