😔 just checked and you have a cool hummingbird family photo from the last few days. Also, rebooted my iPhone which may or may not have helped.
And now they’re restored 🙄 😒
This is not good.
Actually..all my photo posts since joining Bluesky have disappeared 😶
Yellow taxis travel up Madison. A bike weaves through bright traffic and fog.
Taxiing. Test post.
Either Bluesky photo posts from the last 24 hours are disappearing, or my coffee fueled vision hasn’t kicked in this am…
NYC innovation at its finest: Babka bread pudding. “Babka rarely lasts long enough to reach that stage in most New York kitchens.”
“In a global race to develop cheaper and potentially better alternatives to the world’s 10 most expensive medicines, China has pulled ahead.”
“An Endpoints News analysis of clinical trial databases shows that China accounts for 48 of the 77 programs targeting this group of ultra-expensive gene therapies. China’s total is more than double the number in the US and seven times as many as Europe.”
“It’s like you have the rules to a game and you’ve won the game. Now, all of a sudden, the F.D.A. would change the rules.” -Megan Selser, mother of Ben, a toddler with Hunter syndrome.

New: As David Ellison prepares to take control of CNN, legendary CBS News producer Mary Walsh, who is exiting, sent a goodbye note to colleagues.
In the note, Walsh writes, "We’ve been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don’t know how to do that."

“We’re normalizing hardship, and we’re normalizing catastrophe,” said Katherine Hempstead, a senior policy adviser for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
“Dr. Oz’s new proposal would allow one kind of health plan to raise the annual deductible to more than $15K for an individual and $31K for a family; those are much higher than current Obamacare plans. The individual deductible would be eight times the average for someone with job-based insurance.” 😶
Finally. But why did it take so long? 🤬 What a terrible message to the women who work at this network and the remaining few who watch it.
Sledding and snowman building in Central Park
The island of Manhattan declares a snow day.
A family builds several snow people, adding stick arms.
We all need a snow day. Or maybe a build a snowman day.

My Op Ed in Today's Washington Post: "The long-lasting effects of viruses — and the anti-vaccine movement. For some people, a viral infection can have devastating long-term effects."

The sun sets over Central Park’s frozen Meer. We’re more than half way through winter and dreaming of more tropical skies.
A New Yorker walks across the Harlem Meer. Never a good idea. Hence the ice ladders punctuating the perimeter.
Big city living. 43 days till the spring equinox and magnolia season’s start in Central Park.
Pretty much how every New Yorker is feeling about this unrelenting winter! Our resident Great Blue Heron dreaming of spring in the Central Park Loch. 💙🩶💙 #Herons #CentralPark #birding
Tweet from broadcast journalist Gretchen Carlson: “It would be great to see a similar article advocating that all of the women who've lost their careers for simply coming forward about misbehavior get their jobs back too — instead of yet another propping up a man who actually misbehaved.” Here’s the article she referenced: https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/in-defense-of-bari-weiss-not-firing-peter-attia-at-cbs/
There is no bravery in CBS keeping a deeply problematic wellness guru, as Abrams disappointingly (or ludicrously) suggests. There is no defense. Instead, as Gretchen Carlson states below, it would be far better we advocate for women who’ve been impacted for speaking up in broadcast and beyond.
Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
Every Groundhog’s Day I think of my HS physics teacher who awarded bonus points to anyone who could spell Punxsutawney. And anyone who promised to pursue an engineering career.
The hundreds of reader comments are harrowing. “Insurers, facing rising health care costs and worries that healthier customers would drop coverage in the face of declining subsidies, also increased their prices by more than 25%.”

“For years, I did not fully appreciate what I was witnessing. To me as a kid, my father’s endless chatter was an embarrassing quirk of his personality. And my mother’s welcoming of strangers into our home just seemed, well, normal. Only after decades as a physician and policymaker did I understand that my father and mother had unintentionally but eagerly adopted one of the most powerful health interventions ever discovered: human connection.”
