๐งตDear Friends on Twitter, Iโm basically going to try to use the other place, mostly, reserving this account for reference, and stragglers. One major thing is to get away from the INTRUSIVE ADVERTISING, as well as get away from Elonโผ๏ธ @KBAndersen @ElayneBoosler

Since newborns began getting the Hepatitis B vaccine in 1991, weโve seen a 99% reduction in pediatric infections.ย Now, RFK Jr. and his conspiracy theorists want to take away all that progress.ย Here in Massachusetts, I wonโt let that happen.

Happy feast of St Nicholas, patron of our church at Blakeney, Norfolk. Here he is, on the left of the great east window (Powell & Sons, 1913), and also on a little ceramic plaque (early 20th century) next to the front door of my house, which used to be the rectory.

Leaving aside for a moment the banal idiocy of chucking custard at the State Crown (yawn), I'm old enough to remember when the @BBCNews report wouldn't have featured what used to be called a butcher's apostrophe.

I've written a new Norfolk ghost story today and, as it's got a Halloween theme, I'm going to go ahead and post it right now. It's called "Smugglers' Rest", and there's a link to it in the post following this one. Enjoy!

This year has had the highest layoffs since 2020. If you take away 2020, it's the highest number of job cuts since 2009. ๐๐ป https://t.co/Fm2WA4NrY2

They are cancelling naturalization ceremonies now. This isnโt about illegal immigration . Itโs about LEGAL immigration: One Step From Citizenship, Some Find It Eludes Their Grasp https://t.co/7zRhT7Q8KQ via @NYTimes

Sweeping immigration changes by the Trump administration have resulted in the cancellation of naturalization ceremonies, the last step in the process of becoming a citizen.

@JamesSurowiecki Trumps birthday is in the website. Who gives a fuck when his birthday is? Heโs not the fucking king.

They're really going with "We picked that day to give people free admission not because it's Trump's birthday, but because it's Flag Day!," a holiday that almost no Americans have ever celebrated and 1 in 100 Americans could tell you the date of.

U.S. citizen who had committed no crime didn't roll down his window at ICE's request. That definitely justified keeping him in prison for three days.

The fight over the tipped minimum wage probably isnโt over, but it may be going quiet for now, @maustermuhle reports. More in this week's Wilson Building Bulletin:
51st.news
Also: D.C. gets no deference from Congress, and there won't be a referendum on the tipped wage (though the fight isn't over)

The salient part of Trump's latest dementia-driven tantrum is that he has, for at least the dozenth time, announced that gas has "just" hit $1.99/gallon Since it's not true, he certainly could use a different lie. That he keeps repeating something old as breaking news - not good
