"Welcome to our world. Welcome to our lives. The business model for journalism is in shambles ... yet there’s a newsroom filled with committed writers and editors and so many others who see their work more as a mission than a job." - Brian McGrory bostonglobe.com/2024/03/04/met…

Strange but true #MBTA story: in 1955 my grandfather fell onto the tracks at Park Street station and touched the third rail. But thanks to his wooden leg, he wasn't electrocuted. The crazy story of his “lucky leg” appeared in newspapers across the country.

In 1990, 13 works of art, now estimated to be worth around half a billion dollars, were taken from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in a matter of 81 minutes. Where are the masterpieces? How It Really Happened examines at 9p ET/PT on CNN. #HIRH

The state of the #H5N1 #birdflu outbreak in dairy cattle as of Friday, 5/25. Total includes 2 herds Michigan has announced but #USDA hasn't yet confirmed. 65 confirmed herds since late March, reported by 9 states.

Wow. David Folkenflik: “In several conversations, Lewis repeatedly — and heatedly —offered to give me an exclusive interview about the Post’s future, as long as I dropped the story about the allegations.” npr.org/2024/06/06/nx-…

.NEJM paper: H5N1 bird flu virus can survive pasteurization The more virus there is in milk, the longer/hotter pasteurization needs to be to kill all the virus. We don't know what % of dairy cows have no/minimal symptoms from bird flu & whose milk is entering the milk supply.

8. The herd list has been separated from the main Dept. of Agriculture #H5N1 #birdflu landing page. Found this interesting info on the landing page proper. How many farms have enrolled in the Voluntary H5N1 Dairy Herd Status Pilot Program so far? Four. usda.gov/media/press-re…

It's been 3 months since Dept. of Agriculture confirmed #H5N1 #birdflu was spreading in dairy herds. Scientists watching the situation are startled by the lack of urgency in the response. “It’s not [being] managed as a zoonotic disease that is a potential dynamic threat."

30 minutes in, not one question about trying to overturn a free and fair election. Not one question about 34 felony counts.

Trump is leaning into the fact that CNN won't fact check the most basic assertions he's making. Like Charlottesville.

Colorado reports the 4th human infection with the #birdflu virus circulating in cows. Farmworker. Symptoms like cases 1 & 2 — conjunctivitis. At this point it's clearly an #H5 infection; @CDC will be testing to see if there is enough virus to confirm the N type. Not surprising.

Colorado is now reporting 5 #H5 #birdflu human cases among workers culling poultry on an infected farm. All had mild symptoms; no hospitalizations. ⁦CDC⁩ has confirmed 4 so far. CDC is on the ground helping the state investigate. cdphe.colorado.gov/press-release/…

In the aftermath of Wednesday’s raid, two Republican-appointed members of the State Election Board told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution they aren't ruling out the prospect of a takeover of Fulton's elections. It's "on the radar as an avenue we could take" says one. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/…

Don Lemon and Georgia Fort have been released. But the procedural history now emerging is unusual. Before the arrests, a federal magistrate judge found no probable cause to arrest them. The government appealed anyway. Here’s why that matters—and what it signals more broadly.

What you permit you promote.
