@dave_schilling@MJSmith891 Mel Brooks once talked with me for 10 min at a deli about Young Frankenstein after I saw the show in previews. He then gave me a (welcome) hug and twirl when he found out I had the same name as his mother 🥰
Thank you, Delaware! Because of your votes and your values, I am proud to be your next member of Congress.
Delaware has sent the message loud and clear that we must be a country that protects reproductive freedom, that guarantees paid leave and affordable child care for all our families, that ensures that housing and health care are available to everyone and that this is a democracy that is big enough for all of us.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that the first battles between the Ukrainian military and North Korean troops ‘open a new page in instability in the world’ after his defense minister said a ‘small engagement’ had taken place https://t.co/LGZHYYM6Fh
We just won our Senate race! As a son of immigrants, a public school kid, I never could’ve imagined I’d get to serve as a US Senator. I’m deeply humbled and grateful to NJ and for everyone who got us here. I promise I’ll serve with honor and integrity as a public servant for all.
Godspeed to you if you're going to a party (?) to watch tonight, but I had a party in 2016 to watch the results, and the vibe shift that happened was so sudden and horrific that I'll quite simply never do that again in my life.
If I may be frightfully earnest: If you vote today, thank the poll workers. This does not happen without them. It's not glamorous and they have to put up with a lot. (About half of mine seemed to be high school volunteers.)
@blanketboat same concern this morning, but it was whether office people walking to office were weirded out hearing me blaring “2005” — the 1985 update 💀
Me in ER with severe dehydration & tachycardia from POTS flare (undiagnosed at time)
Dr: “How much did you drink last night?”
Me: “I don’t drink”
Dr: “Tell the truth - if you don’t we can’t help”
Me: “I’m allergic to alcohol. I’ve had nothing to drink.”
Dr: “Don’t lie” 🧵 /1
We flew over Hurricane Milton about 90 minutes ago. Here is the view out the Dragon Endeavour window. Expect lots of images from this window as this is where I’m sleeping while we wait to undock and return to Earth.
Timelapse coming in a separate post.

how dumb would i look if i said some shit and a womenswear expert chimed in with "you idiot. you moron. you absolute imbecile. to even understand this look, you have to go back to the 16th century when womenswear was divided between mountains and lakes."
just watched an NBC meteorologist cry on air talking about how terrifying Hurricane Milton is & then the next thing I saw was a woman in the evacuation zone saying she has literally nowhere to go — all the hotels are booked & she doesn’t have a lot of money & has 4 dogs/6 kids.
3 years ago Gannett often sent reporters (like me!) to help smaller newsrooms report on Ida & other disasters
Today nearly all those journalists we went to help are gone, including longtimers who were the ONLY reason I produced anything coherent about a place I’d never been
