Kim Moldofsky

So Grateful to my friend @KimMoldofsky for joining me on the Podcast to start this week of with HOPE: - Hope Comes to Visit -> Scrappy Grace — Grief, Motherhood & Bold Belief youtu.be/Zq4vlPJRUzI?si…

@HopeRehak IDK but I just logged onto Twitter for my first time in a bit and was glad to see you. I was singing the Resale Shop song in my head--your mom's not the Macklemore one--after a trip to Goodwill the other day. Thought you should know.

@hootsuite I want to delete my account put get a message "You are currently the owner of organization ***'s Organization. Please delete this organization in order to delete your account." But I can't delete the org without an active account. Help, please.

So many terrible takes to this prompt. The answer, of course, is the simplest. The Supreme Court legalized birth control pills in 1965, and in 1972 struck down state laws restricting their access. By 1973, 10 million women were taking the pill daily. pbs.org/wgbh/americane…

Today, Donald Trump and JD Vance disgraced the United States of America. My full statement on the disastrous Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy:

@JPWeiland I got knocked down by a not-Covid/not-Flu bug that turned out to be Strep, which they hadn't tested for until I made a second trip to urgent care about 2.5 weeks in.

What is "Walking Pneumonia", Alex?

The annual number of billion-dollar disasters in the US has risen from around 5 in the ‘80s to 27 in 2024. The costs of climate change are too high — we can’t afford to continue this trend.

After millions of views spreading lies about the Palisades firefighters lacking water because of regulations, the boring truth comes late like usual and wont be shared. Here it is: 1 - Reservoirs and water tanks were at normal levels and completely full before the fire. 2 - All 114 city water supply tanks were fully stocked pre-fire. 3 - A 15-hour surge at four times normal demand reduced water pressure. 4 - High demand at lower elevations slowed refilling tanks at higher elevations. 5 - This unprecedented fire was fueled by 8 months of no rain and 85 MPH winds. Water is being brought in continuously. 6 - Even if, like Trump claimed, the protection of the Delta Smelt caused over regulation by California, it's the FEDERAL Endangered Species Act that requires the protection of endangered species like the Delta Smelt and their habitats, not Gavin Newsom or California. I expect the comments to me filled with people personally attacking me for putting this information out. All it does is show that you are unintelligent. Thanks.

@JPWeiland I'm so sorry for your loss. Dogs are the best.

Even after 17 years of a good life, it never seems long enough, and the loss is never easy. Miss you already Roxy my little buddy 😥

@JPWeiland What exactly will happen on May 10?

If this sticks here for the next hour or two we have a May 10th superstorm situation for North America -40s is nuts

BREAKING: California reports 2 more human cases of H5N1 bird flu, taking the total to 5. All 5 cases are linked to dairy cows at different farms in the Central Valley.

@Erhard_Grey @KingOfMoogles @RogerHallamCS21 www2.gbrmpa.gov.au/learn/reef-hea… "The 2024 Outlook Report includes data up until December 2023 and does not cover the 2024 summer mass coral bleaching event." Doesn't sound promising.

@KingOfMoogles @RogerHallamCS21 And? The article was reporting on info from the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the primary observer of the Great barrier reef. Did the institute get bought too?

So get this: the world's coral reefs disappear at 1.5C. We are past 1.5C now and heading for 2C. THEY ARE DONE. The point is not  "OMG, all those lovely colourful things we see on David Attenborough are going to go." No. The point is 25% of the world's fish will disappear as well. No. The point is 1-2 billion people depend on those fish. 100s of millions of people will starve. You're right, it could 'just' be only 10s of millions. So that's okay then. No problem.

@JPWeiland I've been avoiding adding yet another Meta platform to my life, but I mostly only come here for you and @Laurie_Garrett once a week or so.

Engagement is slowing climbing over there, but not as much as this platform

Oct 4th update: We're entering a relative lull for Fall. Infections were 72% higher in 2022 and 33% higher in 2023 and 2021 for the same week. No sign of slowdown in the decline. Estimates: 🔸430,000 new infections/day 🔸1 in every 78 people currently infected

It’s so inconsiderate when climate protestors block roa…

In response to Helene, @KamalaHarris should endorse a plan to #MakePollutersPay. 64% of likely voters, including 58% of independents (+30), say they’d be *more* likely to vote for a candidate who will make polluters pay for climate damages.

#Breaking @USCG Air Station #Clearwater saved a man & his dog, Thurs., during Hurricane #Helene after his 36-ft sailboat became disabled & started taking on water approximately 25 miles off Sanibel Island. Call the #USCG for help on VHF Ch. 16 or dial 911 for storm distress. #SAR

@RepAuchincloss @Cigna @ExpressScripts Just called. Thanks.

.@Cigna is suing the FTC to redact its report on Pharmacy Benefit Managers. Why? Probably because @ExpressScripts doesn't want it known they charge $3,613 for a $65 cancer drug.

@RachelTobac Thank you!

@NateB_Panic I thought Skokie (just outside of Chicago) was a WN epicenter around 2003/4. I didn't know anyone who got it, but we'd find dead birds at the park, on the sidewalk. It caused something close to a Silent Spring. The crow population has only recently started to rebound.

A few weeks ago top US medicine man Anthony Fauci was in hospital with West Nile virus, saying he'd never been sicker. So I looked into West Nile virus and woah, did I find out some things. Not good things 🧵

@gefensk At least the moderator called out a tiny bit of his BS. It is maddening, though.

we need a live fact checker at this debate
