I appreciate the more frequent and robust responses by NYT comms to misinformation and disinformation about our reporting.

🚨: Clearest Image ever taken of the surface of Venus.😮 Venera-13 spacecraft survived for 127 minutes before succumbing to the Planet’s extremely harsh atmosphere.

While out on my afternoon walk I spotted Godzilla cunningly disguised as a tree.

I liked the world better when the news came on for 30 minutes and then we did other shit for 23 1/2 hours. Now it follows you around all day like a hobo begging for change.

Somehow this is spot on.

It's an ambitious task, but someone needs to do it if we're going to understand rapidly retreating glaciers in Antarctica. That someone is Scripps Oceanography polar geophysicist @JaminGreenbaum. @nytimes' @zhonggg shares more about this crucial work. ⤵️ nytimes.com/2026/02/19/cli…

So proud and happy for my dear Estonia 🇪🇪 - the best place to live free and pursue one’s dreams. Happy Independence Day, Elagu Eesti! 💙🖤🤍

Elagu meie kallis vaba Eesti! Live free, dear Estonia! #Eesti108 #IndependenceDay

Täna on Eesti iseseisvuspäev. Täna on kogu Eesti rahva pidupäev. Päev, mil mõtleme vabadusele ja sellele, kuidas meie esiisad ja -emad rebisid end 108 aastat tagasi Venemaa kütkest lahti ja hakkasid oma ideaale ellu viima. Oleme nii lõpmata tänulikud oma iseseisvuse ja vabaduse eest, see annab meile jõudu aidata neid, kes oma iseseisvuse ja vabaduse eest võitlevad. Elagu Eesti!

Before I sign off, I must say that Les Carpenter, our Olympics writer who is supposed to be laid off, called the result of this competition. I did not. He earned his keep at the Post tonight. #figureskating #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 #olympics2026
