Quote Tweet
Feral pigs in the San Francisco Bay Area are tearing up lawns, threatening the drinking water and disturbing vineyard harvests. They're part of what one federal official called a "feral swine bomb" — and many people want them dead. nyti.ms/3Gkr1qf

Proud mom of a Leela right here (and it was totally the name of my great aunt).
Quote Tweet
Apparently the resurgence of “old lady names” is occurring in Indian Americans as well as white Americans. “Leela” is the Indian equivalent of “Stella” or “Edith”, names I’ve seen in both my nonagenarian patients and in friend’s children twitter.com/MottChildren/s…

FORGOT TO PRESS THE UPLOAD BUTTON.
Quote Tweet
A Georgia election official said that the state expects to finish counting ballots today. He said that some counties had forgotten "to press the upload button," and that they've been reminded to do so. nyti.ms/2GAnriS

I just spoke with 28yr-old Miamian Alex Garcia. He said he woke up today thinking he was going to vote for Trump BUT he changed his mind at the voting booth. He ended up picking Biden to “go back to normal.”
