8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

We continue to see an alarming influx of starving Brown Pelicans – 40+ delivered in last week to our two California clinics: Hopefully this is not a repeat of the 2022 Brown Pelican crisis, when we treated more than 350 weak and emaciated pelicans.

#IsraelHamasWar @chefjoseandres is my hero, working with local restaurants & people worldwide wherever there is a crisis. They are in Israel and Gaza. Please contribute, if you can, to do as he says: build a long table.

I’m heartbroken at the loss of life..families, children, in Israel & Gaza💔 @WCKitchen has been working to start operations..feeding in both Gaza & Israel today. To support these efforts for innocent families, I’m giving $1 million..I’ll share more about our work here everyday.

@Bob_Wachter @Bob_Wachter looking good! Congrats on a great recovery!

My progress: 1) C3 healed; neck brace is gone 2) Fine Covid-wise. Tested neg by day 8, rebound 9-13, now neg. Crazy we never got clinical trial of 7-10d of Pax (I took 5d) 3) Stitches out–not great but no longer scare small kids 4) Humans are resilient; my trashcan is unimproved.
