I also left the bad place. I have the exact measurements written down at home, but I use strong white vinegar with a few drops of dish soap. Good luck! @no-id-lady.bsky.social

In southwest Idaho FBI raid, officials zip-tiped teens and used aggressive force, lawsuit alleges • Idaho Capital Sun A lawsuit by ACLU of Idaho alleges law enforcement used aggressive tactics and unjustly detained hundreds of people, including children.

For four hours, hundreds of people were detained — without food, or consistent access to water, bathrooms or medical treatment, including a man who was bleeding from his head after an officer allegedly struck him with a rifle, the lawsuit claims.

I'm just now seeing the typo in this and I'm so annoyed. Going back to limited social media. Jeez.

aldokt Winter Olympics 2026 10h I’m sorry, the shooting/skiing relay has just finished and the I think the commentator said that the woman that crossed the line for gold had been shunned for years by her team mates as she STOLE ONE OF THEIR CREDIT CARDS AND SPENT THEIR MONEY. Come on- there’s a Netflix in that surely?? Do I need to make the calls myself??

booooouuuuuuuuuuuuuh 4h Julia Simon was accused last year by her teammate Justine Braisaz Bouchet (and other staff members) of stealing their credit card During pre-season, there was the trial and Simon confessed Because of that, she was suspended for the first few races of the biathlon season Also, another athlete was taken out of the season for tampering with a team mate rifle So yeah, I can't imagine the atmosphere in the french team right now 😬

*Runs in *

There is genuine French biathlon drama!

My children's observations:
G, 12: "Bad Bunny was pretty cool."
E, 6: "They didn't even get to 30, but they still winned?"
J, 2: (spent the second half standing on his head and insisting that if you watch upside down, it turns into baseball)

It's so rare that I team I cheer for wins, so this is nice.

Democracy, darkness, etc. Thanks a lot, Bezos.

There’s a lot to despair about in journalism lately. But the rise of visual forensics in newsrooms is fantastic.

Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Thank you so much!!

*Sally reposted it, but Graeme Wood wrote it. My frustration with this framing remains.

No answer is often THE answer!

Oh you're right!

I think her suggestions and feedback would have been valid had it come at a reasonable time. But it didn't. Ridiculous.

This is driving me bonkers! Had she brought this up the first time she'd had a chance to review it and immediately given the reporters Miller's number, yeah, ok.

But this?

If an editor in chief turns down multiple opportunities to review a piece, and then pulls it at the last minute after their newsroom has promoted it, she's a bad manager. That's not failing to avoid drama in her own newsroom, as Sally's piece puts it. It's awful for the entire institution.
