@Exocomics Awesome! If you can add Detective Beans stuffies we’d buy one! I have no idea how hard that is to pull off, though….

@Exocomics @localNERDlbk Hooray! We can’t wait!

@Exocomics @localNERDlbk We bought the book for our 7 year old this afternoon. He’s already read it at least 3 times and won’t put it down, and he keeps asking if we can get him more in the series. Thanks for writing it!

@Sommer Have you tried triple-clicking? That should do paragraphs.

@yannotyam Trying to schedule for a 23mo-old and CVS’s site gives me an error after the form you showed saying that we have to go to a Minute Clinic. Then the Minute Clinic site directs back to the CVS site for vaccinations. So I wonder if they still just mean 3yrs+.

Imagine telling someone on July 10 that before the White Sox win another game, Kamala Harris would've picked her running mate.

@liqian_ren @united I wonder if United doesn’t have enough extra very long haul aircraft to put on a route flying all that added distance relative to the route over Russia? I’m just guessing here, but it’s possible they can’t have their normal (pre-COVID) EWR->PVG planes do it.

Zack Wheeler is the only pitcher in MLB history to start 0-3 despite a 3.00 ERA (or better) & 30+ K's through 4 starts.

Only other pitchers to do that and even go winless:

- Nolan Ryan (0-1; 1978)
- Pedro Martinez (0-2; 1994)
- Jacob deGrom (0-1; 2017)
- Dylan Bundy (0-2; 2018)

@LewsOnFirst I don’t think I’ve ever seen these before, so no.

A changing of the guard—I believe this is the first #NYTXW not “edited by Will Shortz” I’ve ever seen. Congrats to Joel, but get well soon, Will.

Yesterday I visited the Oakland Museum of California. The permanent exhibition includes a wall showcasing legal measures white residents took to drive out immigrants and minorities in the past 2 centuries. Among the materials was this picture of single-family zoning defenders.

🧵Here's a thread about an obscure economic theory from a century and a half ago, which is about to become a MASSIVE deal.
⚡️It helps explains why tackling climate change is going to be v v hard. Some say impossible.
The story begins with this building👇

I’ve covered Prop 47 since it was put on the ballot a decade ago and watched as it has been debated, blamed and praised.

So with multiple attempts pending to change the ballot measure- what has it actually done?

Here’s what I found
