Randy Rosso

I’m finalizing plans for Randy’s celebration of life on June 21. Please let me know if you plan to come. Even if can’t come in person but would like to watch the live stream, RSVP “no” so I will make sure to send you the link to watch online. Thank you! evite.me/WPjS4J6NQE @fooddatanerd.com

In case you would like to attend Randy’s celebration of life—in person or online, please let me know here: evite.me/WPjS4J6NQE

This is Betsy again—I’m blown away by all your messages about Randy and what he meant to you. Thank you. And here—at last—is his TED talk. youtu.be/y2sVe_uM1vE

This is Randy’s wife, Betsy. I know he loved his bluesky people fiercely and truly valued being part of the community. It hurts me to have to share that he died last week. Here’s his obituary www.endersandshirley.com/obituary/ran.... Thank you all for your kindness and for making Randy feel seen.

🥗 #SNAPMatters So... many... lies. "SNAP data confirm millions of Americans have reclaimed their freedom" -- USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins. thehill.com/opinion/whit...

🥗 The most brutal form of musical chairs

Victory+, are you drunk? You just mentioned Mackenna Morris, who left the Spirit what, 1-2 seasons ago? I’d love to see her a k on the Spirit roster, but that seems unlikely. #riseupdc

oh my GAWD, will someone PLEASE tell the announcer that Aubrey Kingsbury is NOT playing for the Spirit tonight?! Once is acceptable but he's been calling Sandy MacIver Kingsbury for most of the second half! Granted, Sandy has been doing a terrific Aubrey impression lately! #thatsthespirit #riseupdc

🥗

martínez making a second off ball decision in transition to get herself central, in space, and create a lane for the pass. yeaaaaaaah buddy.

Oh and Chris Armas, whatcha doin’? Methinks you’re the problem, not the solution. How do you lead a team with THAT midfield, and get outplayed that thoroughly?! The Spirit midfield was outstanding, sure. #wasvkc

What. A. GAME! Spsrkling performance all around from #thatsthespirit, with special mentions for Leicy Santos and Sandy McIver — IMG those saves! Unreal!

Chewie,… we’re home!

🥗 @repmcgovern.bsky.social has been a steadfast and powerful champion in the fight against hunger for a long time. I appreciate his strong words. This is no time to pull punches.

Project ACL Expands to the NWSL 🔗 vipsofatlantasoccer.com/2026/04/23/p... As Project ACL expands to include the NWSL and Women’s Super League, the focus shifts toward match congestion, recovery windows, and the workload decisions clubs control.

🥗 US employment-based disability benefits are broken. Also electronic records and record releases.

🥗 47.9 million Americans live in food insecure households. With the SNAP cuts we’ve already seen, we’re likely over 50 million by mow, or soon will be. slate.com/business/202...

You can't play by the rules of a system that has been destroyed and have any hope of defeating the people that detroyed it.

🥗 Silly me, work requirements work exactly as intended—cutting people off benefits so those $$ can be directed to the truly needy— the millionaires & billionaires—in the form of tax cuts. #snap #medicaid #housing

🥗 Most Missouri Medicaid recipients already are working Yeah, ditto for SNAP. You know what’s not working (& never will)? Work requirement policies. A flawed “solution” in search of a problem. www.stltoday.com/news/communi...

Let's support Team Salaam! @salaambhattiva.bsky.social I can vouch for the fact that he is a phenomenal human being, skilled advocate, and he gets things done. We need more like Salaam in Congress! I will be phone banking for Salaam Thursday evening. Join me?! mobilize.us/s/xgPuIC

@hemmusic.bsky.social love your music! Any news on the nee songs/album? Last update I saw was 3 years ago!

🥗 The Farm Bill Is Coming — Do You Know What's at Stake? (Hint: It's a lot...) Get the latest from @fracposts.bsky.social in this webinar 4/23 at 1pm! us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

🥗 People would still labor. People would still build, create, teach, heal, farm, lead, and serve. But work would no longer be backed by the threat of hunger and homelessness... Work could become more human when life itself is no longer held hostage."

🥗 Every. WORD! Tiffany Tagbo, RESULTS Expert on Poverty, invites us to imagine a world without poverty. Once you picture it, you can't unsee it--or the stark contrast with the world we live in. But poverty is not inevitable. measuredinlives.substack.com/p/what-if-th...

🥗 Absolutely! Really like what I'm seeing from the Mamdani administration in NYC!

🥗 This webinar yesterday from the office if NYC Mayor Mamdani’s office, on the city’s first-ever official true cost of living data tool and report, was inspiring! Great antidote to *waves* everything! youtu.be/msQXEutd9M4?...

Now and then I get an email about Who's Who. Is this a cult or something, preying on the egos of up-and-coming professionals who aren't sure if their work/career matters?

🥗

🥗 “Republicans decried this abuse. Their ire was reserved for a single mom who used SNAP benefits to buy a birthday cake for her 8-year-old.” The morality of this country is upside down.

🥗 “A RAND study finds that if we’d kept the 1975 income distribution, the bottom 90% of workers would have earned an additional $3.9 trillion in 2023 alone — a $32,000 raise per full-time worker for a single year.” Support salaam4va! open.substack.com/pub/salaambh...

Ironic or just sad that the weakest feature of Gmail and other Google apps is... search? Seriously, I never find anything I'm looking for in Gmail. Though, tbh, I have an insanely full inbox!

🥗 I just went down a LinkedIn rabbit hole trying to find a post I was going to respond to on my phone (but lost it there too). Anyway that was the boomiest LinkedIn doomscroll I've ever experienced. The world is BLEAK out there, man. Where are you finding the light, cause I ain't seeing it.

GD these child-hating bigots. www.erininthemorning.com/p/colorado-s...

🥗 1-month % change in individuals participating in SNAP. Not nearly as dramatic (thankfully)--it might become more so in the coming months as these cuts continue to kick in. www.datawrapper.de/_/e3CQW/?v=3

🥗 That 30% drop in SNAP participation in Arizona? It's now a 43% drop (1/25-1/26) I'm going to look at the % change in households and benefits later today. www.datawrapper.de/_/9xOIo/

Made it through 5 Nights At Freddy’s (chemo) without incident. Phew I can eat real food again!
