Join us in congratulating some members of CMRI who are celebrating their @ChildrensMercy anniversaries this month. Ashley Johnson (left) is a 15-year service awardee and Sarah Kluesener (right) is a 10-year service awardee. We're lucky to have them as part of our team!

@rootkitchens Don’t forget local health department standards; I’d be surprised if cooking and non-packaged meals in your library are OK.

@ned_potter surely you are not serious. And yes, I am serious in asking that question. Movie is good — but better? [umbrage being taken]

@geekandahalf when mental illness and social illness merge + magnified; a dangerous trajectory, who thinks he would’ve stopped w/out police?

@scott_tobias Think those pernicious fire code regulations are the real culprit. Architects are just going along with the “no kids dying in a fire” lobby.

@jefflambert yeah, we’re not doctors. consequence of giving not-the-best book/resource vs. subpar med treatment is radically different.

[Paul Smith @redpunker]

@scott_tobias @kphipps3000 Scott, I have bad news: it is totally time for a remake/reboot/rehash or something.

@michelleisawolf just watched your HBO special; absolutely loved it!

[Paul Smith @redpunker]

@LorenzoButlerPR Um, if this is true, how is it we’re related?

[Paul Smith @redpunker]

@geekandahalf great piece! BTW: quindaro is not working-class — it is *tough* (esp at her age). Makes her that much more miraculous.

[Paul Smith @redpunker]

@maddow just curious: did Fox News bozos call for firings as often during Obama years as they are now?

Trump is admitting his intention to obstruct justice if the situation calls for it. This should be the biggest story in the land.

Jeff Sessions was just spotted leaving the White House.
