My fave story of a day!
How was CNN able to break the news on Trump pleading not guilty, despite devices ban?
By hiring a group of Miami high school students who ran info out of the courtroom and dictated it via pay phone.
Great behind-the-scenes look by @oliverdarcy: cnn.com/2023/06/13/media/cnn…
In your spare time? Thanks for all you do to help us understand…
BREAKING: new episode on the first federal indictment.

State Farm will no longer insure California homes. The climate-insurance-property values doom loop intensifies. Still no mention of impact on tax base or mortgage lenders, but it will be big, and will exacerbate the hit to property values.nytimes.com/2023/05/31/clima… 1/

My husband had a stroke after a COVID vaccination.
Here’s what perseverant truth-seeking about vaccines & adverse events can turn up.*

Hope this story helps someone who’s trying to figure it all out.
*Spoiler alert: Nope, wasn’t the vaccine.
In my family, it was "grilled cheese" until one of my then very young sons mistakenly called them "girl cheese sandwiches," which the whole family adopted and didn't outgrow for many years.
LIKE it or NOT⁉️
Myself and My Family call it a TOASTED cheese sandwich
My wife says It’s Grilled cheese and thinks we’re ridiculous!
It’s too late to tackle this debate tonight @LokayFOX5 … but one day… one day!
The soporific effect of BBC radio's compilation of the Shipping Forecast: "weather reports that narrate the gales and tides around the British Isles." I, too, know the magic of slipping away, comforted by barely discernible radio voices @linden_gracie 1/2 nytimes.com/2023/02/14/magaz…
The Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio. Even the comments are lovely: "There is something soothing about people talking around you as you fall asleep. It's reassuring. The home is guarded. The fire is maintained. Predators are kept away. You are safe." 2/2 youtube.com/watch?v=CxHa5KaM…
Sky is brightening but it's still snowing in #LunenburgMA, where we have roughly 8 inches. What's up with the radar? Looks like the storm is long gone. @MattNBCBoston @PeteNBCBoston @GregForrister

Are we still seeing non-symptomatic cases of Covid? W/o known recent exposure and w/o symptoms, how useful is it to test? Dos vax status matter? I'm happy to test but not sure how this works at this point.
Returning to free Covid tests in the US 👍. They'll come in handy with upcoming gatherings, especially with the current wave gaining steam. Ordering starts tomorrow
