Russian history in two badges. I got the red badge in 1990 the day the first Moscow McDonald’s opened ( I queued 3 hrs to get in). The other badge I got today when the Russian replacement for McDonald’s opened. McDonald’s quit Russia in protest at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I am SO EXCITED to get to work on this Fantail pigeon from @yalepeabody! I'll be grooming its feathers and I just can't wait! Did you know that this breed has way more tail feathers than other pigeons?

People seem gutted when the word takes 5 or 6 goes to get, jubilant if it’s 2. But the long game means you had to show deductive skill and graft; 2 just means you had some luck. You should be prouder of a 5! Forget what you think you know!! Love, your Wordle cheerleader.

I listen to podcasts at between 1.2 and 1.5x, so I really want to believe this. On the other hand, I worry these tests of recall don't measure thinking. The most important thing when reading a book or listening to a show is having your own ideas and associations.

Israeli study finds association between ⬇️ #SARSCoV2 antibody titers & infections in #vaccinated healthcare workers - considering many of our healthcare workers got their vaccine 6 month ago & #Delta is ⬆️ - should we start measuring antibody titers? nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… – at New Haven, CT

This year @Hearst Connecticut Media's journalists served our local communities through a pandemic, social unrest and an unprecedented election. 🧵 Here's a thread of just some of our important, enterprising work.

If I #tweet this, two people retweet it and two people retweet each or those retweets and two people retweet each of those four retweets. . . Well, now we can see COVID in virtual action. @govfinanceUIC @DonKettl @donmoyn @_ResourceX @AclomaxAllen @scfehr1 @afercak @SJGreene90
