@PatriciaHeaton I was pregnant with identical twins at 37. The same thing happened to me, the blood test indicated they most likely had DS. I was urged to have an amnio to be positive and I refused. I would not have terminated regardless of the outcome. Both boys were born perfectly healthy.

Today marks a year since Dead and Company played our last of three shows in Golden Gate Park helping to celebrate 60 years of @GratefulDead . It would also become Bob Weir’s last appearance onstage. I wanted to take a moment to share with you just how incredible those concerts really were. Bobby’s insistence on standing on that stage in the midst of a complex health battle to perform nine hours of music over three nights was one of the greatest acts of heroism I will ever see in my lifetime. I watched him sidestep every traditional burden of entertainers - ego, superficial pride, vanity, to name a few - and sing his songs with pure heart and grit. He transcended his physical limitations by ignoring them. Bobby Weir, ever the contrarian, laid down his ultimate act of defiance; he was going to play these shows on his terms. He could have explained his situation in one online post, and the crowd would have lifted him like a giant wave up to glory. Fuck that. That wasn’t Bobby. Deal the cards. By the end of Sunday night, we’d created as many musical sparks as we ever had over a three night run. What he had to overcome in order to pull that off won’t ever be fully known to anyone. Some of the songs Bobby would play for the last time were shared with artists he loved and respected, @BillyStrings , #sturgillsimpson, #grahamelesh, @treyanastasio , and they’ve come to serve as a spiritual transfer. A blur between past, present and future. Like it’s always been. To use his own term, those three nights were the star in Bob Weir’s heavenly crown. The man you loved, whose music has given a more expansive inner life to us all, never backed down. In his final shows, after 60 years, he lived up to every measure of a person he’d ever stood for. It’s a master class of a life lesson, and I’ll take it with me forever.

I still have nightmares from the things I witnessed as an RN during Covid.

I held the hands of elderly patients who didn’t understand why no family was by their side as they died. The sadness and confusion in their eyes was devastating.

I watched moms give birth and not be allowed to have their own mothers by their side as they brought new life into the world.

I saw patients get denied care for curable diseases because they didn’t want an experimental medicine and they were dead six weeks later.

I was there when mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, and children fell to their knees in grief as they screamed when they were denied access to their sick, injured, and dying loved ones.

I witnessed administrators celebrate the control, financial windfall, and power that Covid provided the system.

None of these things happened because of the virus or a pandemic. The tragedies were the willful infliction of distress on a vulnerable population all based on Fauci’s lies and a complicit healthcare system.

Brett Kavanaugh, a man in his 50s, had been valedictorian of his high school, at Yale College and a star student at Yale Law, had clerked for the Supreme Court, had a top career as an appellate lawyer and federal judge and a pristine reputation, and then a random woman from the town he grew up in claimed he had groped her at a party 35 years earlier when they were in high school.

Kavanaugh didn’t try to argue that the incident was consensual. He didn’t claim he remembered things differently than she did. He immediately stated that he had never even met the accuser. Denying ever meeting the accuser is a much stronger claim than merely denying assaulting her, and much easier to refute. After Kavanaugh made this denial, Christine Blasey-Ford no longer had to prove he had sexually assaulted her to scuttle his nomination, she only had to prove that the two of them had attended a party together at which such an assault might have occurred.

She was unable to do so. She did not know whose house the alleged assault occurred at. None of the people she claimed attended the party corroborated any aspect of her account. Leland Keyser, a friend of Blasey-Ford’s, who the accuser claimed was at the alleged party, said she recalled no such event and had never met Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh produced a detailed calendar he had kept during the summer Blasey-Ford alleged she was assaulted, which included his whereabouts of every weekend night and listing who he was with. Kavanaugh argued that he could alibi himself and provide witnesses for any night Blasey-Ford claimed she might have been at a party with him. Blasey-Ford responded that she did not know the date of her assault and was not entirely certain it even occurred that year. Instead of being seen as persuasive, Kavanaugh’s calendar was mocked in both mainstream and social media because the reason he kept it was for a drinking contest he was having with his friends.

Nearly a decade later, there is still not a single shred of proof or a single witness who will corroborate the claim that Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey-Ford were ever in the same room before she testified at his confirmation hearing. Nonetheless, people like Nick Kristof still claim Kavanaugh was “credibly accused” of sexually assaulting this woman.

UPDATE: Chris Ostroushko says that the backlash his family has been receiving for their actions last weekend has been “overwhelming” and “nonstop”

He’s now “second guessing” living in the United States, because he’s unhappy with how negatively the public has reacted to him assaulting a woman on camera.

He is in complete disbelief, stating that, "I've never had anything like this happen in my life".

Chris and Deyanna have been going on a press tour continuing to assert that they are the real victims, despite millions watching the footage of them instigating everything.

There is also a GoFundMe for them, where they are currently trying to raise $8k, stating that they’ve lost their jobs and, “are facing one of the most overwhelming and life-altering moments they have ever experienced”.

The family has still taken zero accountability for any of the violence they committed and are in complete shock that they are facing consequences for their actions.

Last week Chris also did an interview where he lied, stating that his family is “absolutely not violent" and that all he did was "stay back and watch" everything, despite being on camera shoving me multiple times.

This seems to be the prevailing sentiment amongst non-climbers...

But it's simply wrong.

Honnold's climb of Freerider on ElCap (which was captured on film by the legendary Jimmy Chin) is EASILY 10x more impressive than what Alex did on the skyscraper.

I don't think it's possible to fully appreciate the absurdity of Honnold's free solo of ElCap unless you yourself have been on that climb.

I have...
I've been up there...
I've done all the moves...

(and this was during a period of my life wher I was in the top 0.00001% of strongest climbers in the world)

And I got my ass handed to me.

The 13a crux 23 pitches off the ground is unbelievably technical and requires a level of precision that, to execute without a rope, is nearly unbelievable.

This is a hill I will gladly die on:

Honnold's free solo of ElCap is THE single most impressive athletic achievement in human history.

Nothing else comes even remotely close.

(and certainly not this skyscraper).

If you want to have your paradigm for what humans are capable of turned upside down...

Go watch Free Solo.

[The Real Mike Rowe @mikeroweworks]

Years from now, long after the final credits roll, this actor will be remembered for his incredible contribution to film and television. And based on his latest work, I think it's likely he'll also be remembered for his contribution to music. But thanks to his affection for the first amendment, his unapologetic patriotism, and the principled stand he took 10 years ago that caused Hollywood to permanently lose his number, he will be remembered for something a lot more important.

Courage, for starters.
And character.

Say hello to a familiar face, and my new friend, @RealJamesWoods . Our whole conversation is here. I think you'll love it. https://t.co/DV9s1AYblE

Scott Bessent just bodied Gavin Newsom again: “I think he may be in over his hairdo. Being on the national stage is very different than being governor—with no signature achievements…he brought kneepads, maybe that was for his meeting with Alex Soros.” �
