Thank you again for a superb summary of today’s important news. Between Marcy Wheeler’s deep dives (Emptywheel), Kareem Abdul-Jabar’s newsletter and TPM, I feel confident I’m in good hands to stay off bird app. Now I need to formalize and subscribe to @TPM. The planetary defense reminded me of how the late, great Eric Boelert would share great music. Thank you!
