@d9monti @fast_women @runnersworld Such a terrible loss. Parker was the best. And the first person I knew who actually understood this newfangled "web" back in the late 1990s.

Alison Wade, founder & editor of @fast_women, lost her husband Parker Morse this morning. He was 52 and died unexpectedly. Equal parts brilliant & kind, Parker was the original webmaster for @runnersworld when the website launched in 1996. He was the father of twin daughters.

@victoriaregisk Agree! (Not a health reporter, but adjacent.)

NO!!! No health reporter asked for this!!!!!!

@mattyglesias Good old rainy day. In my day we had these things called umbrellas…

@EmHorowitz @wmata @Metrorailinfo ugh!!

@swimswamnews Milly wasn't just the swimmer in the lane next to Katie! She swam incredibly fast (and as she notes, it was her 3rd 1650)! We are an NCAP family but have seen her at meets for years.

@d9monti @Marine_Marathon @usatf That's terrible!

I can't belive I am writing this, but Tessa Barrett's 2:34:11 course record from the @Marine_Marathon last Sunday won't count as a 2028 #USOT qualifier because the race did not have a @usatf sanction☹️

It is appalling how little coverage the shootings at the CDC received. A government agency was attacked with over 180 rounds of gunfire and David Rose, a responding police officer, was killed in the line of duty. Vaccine disinformation and hostility against science have escalated to deadly violence — a threat not just to institutions, but to all of us. Dr. @celinegounder's reflections are essential reading for anyone concerned about the consequences of disinformation and the silence that often follows these tragedies: nytimes.com/2025/08/11/opi…

@MNXCCoachHop @nbc @usatf Yes! That was terrible.

WHY CAN’T I WATCH THE WOMEN’S STEEPLE FINAL?!? @nbc stopped coverage and @usatf TV (that I paid for) says stream not available in the US?!?!

@By_CJewett @SecKennedy Great article. Thank you for covering this!

NEW: Combatting chronic disease is a top priority for @SecKennedy. But deep cuts to tobacco control funding have decimated efforts to curtail the top driver of preventable death and disease. In N.C., for instance, 9 of 12 tobacco control staff have been laid off: GIFT: nytimes.com/2025/05/15/hea…

@eunyangnbc And near and around Kenwood!

Drive through Rock Creek Parkway today at your own peril. #CherryBlossoms 🌸

@SarahKarlin The word vaccine appears zero times. Also notable.

New EO put out to "Make America Healthy Again" has some notable language that seems to again speak to RFK's mistrust of pharmaceuticals and the current scientific process happening at US health agencies. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

@KateBennett_DC Where is Michelle O?

Obsessing. Hi, I’m Kate.

@capitalweather Do you guys have data showing how this has changed over the past 20 years or so?

Here are the temperatures every day during 2024 in this neat graphic by Ian Livingston. Our full report is here: washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/1… (2/2)

2024 will be DC's warmest year on record. 9 of the 10 warmest years on record in DC have been since 2012. Let's call a spade a spade: Climate change is driving this. (1/2)

@justin_fenton Gilman valedictorian apparently

Alleged United Healthcare shooter is from Towson:

@LizSzabo Yes and they all expired in 2023! (Yes, I know about the extended expiration dates, but not a great look.)

@erinstrout Really? This is on too late for me.

@BlytheThomas @pewresearch You have aged well! :)

Fabulous first #ONA24 conference! It was made even better by these @pewresearch teammates. See you next year!

@mina_radman Wait. Your bday is tomorrow. But I'm covered now.

@mina_radman Happy for you and happy bday!!

@LizSzabo I did an experiment with one current and one expired (last August) test earlier this week and they both showed the same result (Covid be gone! Not me, my kid.)

This is great. We have a box full of free covid tests from the government, but they all expired at least six months ago.
