Good morning to readers.

Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Please RT this thread. It’s an important one.

Some news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically cut the org's workforce.

I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting.

But this time, alone.

I spend way too much of my time browsing the weird little things people lob onto google maps and @TheAtlantic allowed me to say why.

SF is *crawling* with tech workers who stalk and photograph homeless people and then stab each other to death. A real mess.

If you take the 30 largest metros in the US and draw a 100 mile radius around their downtown, which has the largest population? (thread)

2. NYC - 29.6 mil
3. Riverside - 20.9 mil
4. LA - 19.4 mil
5. Baltimore - 16.5 mil

@NickBurns this is devastating

1. So, I recently took a trip out to North Idaho.

I was tracking down rumors about Christian nationalism(s) rising in the region.

But I wasn't prepared for just how *big* it'd become, how powerful it is in the state, and how it may impact the future GOP. https://t.co/3z6J4ZKvOY

if this is a cancellable take i'm very sorry but i don't think you need to feel guilty about enjoying an absurdly warm day in february. you did not make climate change happen and your guilt is not going to fix anything!
