Millions of people are waking up to this horrific threat this morning. It’s terrifying to read this and his other posts. This man has no composure, no emotional regulation. If there is any grownup in the room, now is the time to stand up. We are all at risk.

Congress must immediately end this reckless war of choice in Iran before Donald Trump plunges us into World War III. It’s time for every single Republican to put patriotic duty over party and stop the madness. Enough.

In #Strongmen, I explain how genocides and other catastrophic events instigated by megalomaniac leaders could not happen without the complicit cowards and fanatical extremists that populate authoritarian governments. Those qualities can take over militaries as well.

Impeach Trump.

@hjluks I tell people this…. Most don’t want to hear it

Let's be clear.... None of this means surgery is never right. Sometimes it's absolutely the right call. But for most atraumatic joint and tendon pain in adults — the everyday aches, the overuse injuries, the "my MRI showed a tear" — the answer was rarely the procedure. It was rebuilding what the years took away.

Having been an orthopedic surgeon for 30 years...5 things I wish someone had told you before you walked into my office — in atraumatic joint and tendon pain. Most of you will present with atraumatic joint and tendon pain... traumatic injuries are far less common in adults. And no... you didn't "sleep wrong."

@angelaganote We went through ATL at 6 am. 35 min wait. And we had the Purdue swim/dive team on our flight!! Had been cheering our diver (Virginia Tech) at NCAA National Championship!

Zero security lines at ATL and ICE agents working every station. Moving us all quickly. We got through security total time in 3 minutes from start to finish. The agent that helped us said let me guess “You heard through the media that the lines were 4 hours.” I didn’t tell him I worked in media, but said yes. 🫢 It was so fast we are now on standby for a flight leaving at 11 instead of 2. We are hearing that there may be 30 seats available because the IU swim dive team is not going to be on this flight now. GO HOOSIERS. Go Delta. We should know in 20 minutes if we get on.

@united Brilliant. Would be so great with kids!!!

The entire row is alllllll yours. Welcome to United Relax Row, three adjacent United Economy seats with adjustable leg rests that can each be raised or lowered to create a cozy lie-flat space for stretching out... You'll also get a mattress pad, blanket and two pillows. If you’re traveling with kids, a plushie too! United Relax Row will be available starting next year on more than 200 of our 787s and 777s, each with up to 12 of these brand-new rows. united.com/Elevated

DHS spent today replying to individual tweets saying they left this man in a coffee shop "determined to be a warm, safe location" only for video to emerge tonight showing it was the middle of the night, cold and the coffee shop was closed.

This is completely psychotic. The president lives in a delusional bubble.

@IHSAAtv @IHSAA1 @INSwimming @KSchluRosati This is always such a treat to watch!! Love the commentary!

We awaiting our first diver at the 2026 @IHSAA1 Girls Diving Prelims from the IU Indy Natatorium! Join us on IHSAAtv.org! @INSwimming @KSchluRosati #INswimming #girlsswimming #swimming

@emzanotti This is a good list! Matches my stocked pantry pretty closely. I hate meal planning and making grocery lists. I pick up veggies and protein at the store once a week and cook whatever crosses my mind each night.

I already wrote this post on what to stock your pantry with (and how), it comes with a nifty printable. Link in bio and below.

It’s 12:36am. If you’re driving right now you’re either essential, unhinged, or on a mission for Taco Bell. God bless all three.

Greenland deploying their weather on us was an unexpected first strike.

ATLANTA, CHARLOTTE, ASHEVILLE and folks along I-85 – the ice risk has *increased*. We now expect full-fledged ice storm conditions with major to severe impacts. A widespread 0.5+ inches of ice is likely. Moderate icing will even reach as far north as Washington D.C. A few pockets of 0.75+ inches of ice accretion are likely in extreme northeast Georgia and western parts of the Carolinas. That's where power outages may last the better part of a week, if not longer. The weight of ice on wires will yank power lines down, and will snap tree limbs as well. The zone of greatest concern includes Athens, Jefferson, Gainesville, Turnerville, Clemson, Anderson, Greenville, Laurens, Gaffney, Shelbey, Hickory, Newton, Marion, Morgantown, Lenoir, Highlands, Johnson, Sylva, Collowhee, Smokemont, Waynesville, Newport and Murphy. This is a classic setup caused by "the wedge" – or a lip of frigid, subfreezing surface air that drains southward down the Appalachians. That will keep temperatures at the surface below freezing even as the storm system pumps warmth and moisture in about a mile up. The result? Warm upstairs, cold at the ground. Rain falls and freezes. An ice storm warning is issued when significant ice accretions are anticipated – usually in excess of a quarter inch. That’s when tree branches start to droop and power lines sag. At a half inch of ice accretion, lines are yanked down by the weight of the ice, and branches snap. At 0.75 inches or a full inch of icing, severe impacts occur. Interestingly, we call freezing rain a “self-limiting process” meteorologically-speaking. Why? When a raindrop freezes, it releases a little bit of “latent heat.” That itty-bitty bit of heat energy warms the atmosphere a tiny bit. But after 12-18 hours, it’s enough to usually warm the lower atmosphere (unless the cold air is constantly being refreshed). Usually freezing rain events don’t last more than a day. Believe it or not, little droplets accrete faster than big droplets. Why? They have a higher surface area to volume ratio. (In other words, there’s not as much water in a tiny droplet, so the cold air can try to chill it from all around. That chilling happens faster.) The “sweet spot” for maximum freezing rain accretion is right around 0.05 to 0.08 inches per hour… that will make for the greatest accumulations over time. If the rain falls too fast, raindrops can’t fully cool to freezing before the next droplet lands on them. So what should you do? A couple things: -Park your cars in an area that won’t be susceptible to falling trees -Consider trimming any dead limbs/branches -Clean your gutters. You don’t want water/ice building up and freezing and then pulling down the gutters -Take your ice scraper OUT OF YOUR CAR. Yes, really. There’s a chance that your car door will freeze shut after about 0.25 inches of ice accretion. Take the scraper out. -Plan for possible long-duration power outages. That could mean up to a week with no electricity given how broad of an area will see damage to electrical infrastructure. Charge devices and power banks. -Snag non-perishables and any medicine, contact solution or other personal products you might need over the next week -CHECK ON MEEMAW. Or better yet, invite her over! Or call Old Neighbor Bill and make sure he has a plan to stay warm. The elderly, those with mobility challenges and other vulnerable populations will be at greater risk once the power goes out and temperatures in their homes drop. Be neighborly.-DO. NOT. DRIVE. No, you do not need to go to Walmart. No, Blockbuster isn’t open. No, Starbucks is not going to be open to make you a pinkedy drinkety or whatever the thing my sister orders is. The roads will LOOK wet, but really be a sheet of ice. You’d probably get farther slathering yourself in olive oil and slithering up a waterslide. Seriously. Sheet. Of. Ice. -Remember generator safety — do not run them in/near the house. Put them far enough away from structures that the toxic exhaust is ventilated up/away and NOT toward you Do not burn candles in the house without having a window ajar. And only burn two or three candles max. Likewise, do not try to heat your home by turning on the burners on your gas stove. Fumes. Bad. No. Once the power goes out, it will get peacefully quiet at night… but you may hear sudden crashing sounds. Don’t be nervous! Those are just the sounds of tree branches falling and icicles shattering. I know it might seem a bit intimidating at first, but that’s normal. Lastly, try to appreciate the beauty of an ice storm. Yes, it’s inconvenient. Yes, it’s damaging. But it’s also mesmerizing. On Monday, you’ll step outside and the landscape will just… glisten. Everything will be shiny and clean-looking. Flower petals, leaves and twigs will be coated in a clear glaze. It’s like the landscape has suddenly gilded everything. High-end ice storms are rare, and while they are frustrating and disruptive, they represent a perfect atmospheric balance. Try to take a moment to ground yourself amid everything going on, and seek the beauty in what you’re seeing. – Cappucci

@JamesEBriggs @skiridetubepns It is amazing what they can do with snowmaking and grooming. Lift lines get kind of nuts though.

I took my son to @skiridetubepns today and can’t believe how good it is. I didn’t think you could find worthwhile skiing in the Midwest south of Michigan/Wisconsin. This place is legit.

It doesn't even have to be an abuser. Any woman who has told a man "no" will recognize it. Men in bars or restaurants, men on the street, perhaps men at work. This is not a tone that is limited to "extreme" men. It is standardized and normalized misogyny.

The President said multiple times this morning that Democratic politicians should be put to death. Republican politicians have one chance here to show that everything they said after the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk wasn't complete bullshit.

The president is clearly unwell. As an American, I find it hard to believe that our president speaks in this way.

Wait, you’re telling me that we pay the tariffs?

Micah Beckwith spent years warning Hoosiers about “groomers.” Now a real grooming case is unfolding inside his own orbit. indypolitics.org/beckwiths-groo… 👉 indypolitics.org
