Etymology of the day is 'on tenterhooks' (not 'tenderhooks'): tenters, once a common sight, are wooden frames on which freshly milled cloth is stretched so that it dries without shrinking. To be on tenterhooks is to be as tense and taut as the cloth itself.

I know a lot about addiction. I wrote 3 books for Hazelden. At the Trump rallies when he does the most outrageous things insults and shocking statements racism hate it actually gives you an endorphin and dopamine rush and your brain sets off what’s called “the phenomenon of craving” where you need more so they’re addicted to him they are like crackheads.

You can request a replacement ballot by:

- Calling the auditor's office at [phone]

Shout out to the journalists, writers, and historians (!) who have stepped up to the plate to keep us truly informed about Trump and his ilk. One of the key reasons this is not like 2016 is that they are giving us the real information other sources are not.

As a writer, do you worry that you're doing it all weirdly wrong? Where do you belong? Here's an idea (and a giveaway). https://t.co/7weWjzrYlI
Too isolated – and too needy for validation and connection to seek it out ? Consider this: You already have a community.

@drclairetaylor In the US, I moved to electric kettle about 15 years ago, and gave away my stovetop whistling kettle then. Always have used a kettle, as did my parents (pre-microwaves).

Ten things people say about Covid, what they mean, and what I say to them when they say it:

[Matthew Gertz @MattGertz]

The blue bars are articles mentioning Hillary Clinton's email server in the week after the Oct. 2016 Comey letter.

The red bars are articles mentioning Trump's Jan. 6 indictment the week after Jack Smith's latest filing was unsealed earlier this month.

[Just Jack @7Veritas4]

NOAA has been tracking the formation of Hurricane Milton for days.

They sent hurricane hunters to determine its speed and intensity.

They've identified its path across Florida.

Their data will save hundreds if not thousands of lives.

NOAA is one of the many departments that would be broken up and downsized in a Trump regime.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

JUST IN: The Biden-Harris Administration has launched a Reddit account to provide accurate info on Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The White House will combat misinformation and share updates on federal response, recovery, and preparedness efforts across key sub-Reddits.
