Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

Tonight my documentary, The Real Mo Farah, is airing on @BBCOne at 9pm. It’s been two years in the making and tells the story of my journey to the UK. It’s been difficult and emotional at times, but I am incredibly proud of it. Please tune in. @BBCiPlayer

Rep. Katie Porter: ‘This is absurd. After *one* child died using a Peloton treadmill last year, the Consumer Product Safety Commission intervened & recalled the product. But when hundreds of children die using guns, there is no federal response!’

We should reinstate the ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that we passed in 1994.
In the ten years it was law, mass shootings went down.

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.
It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

Gilbert Gottfried was the best. We once decided to punish UK audiences for their law prohibiting the use of parliamentary footage in comedy programs, by having him read Brexit legalese and Bigfoot erotica. Stick around till he gets to the erotica.

🎉 Happy Twosday!
Today is #Twosday - Tuesday 22 February 2022 - a date written as 22/02/2022, which is both a palindrome and an ambigram!
It is being called an ‘unprecedented milestone.'
