With the exception of the driving thing, same here. Transcripts are my friend and if I have to watch a video because there isn't one, I hope for decent closed captions and speed control so I can crank it faster so my attention wanders less.

If audiobooks work better for many people, that's great, but some of us are text-driven because it works best for us. I read extremely fast with great retention; audiobooks are blah, blah, blah annoying noise for me at best and the info doesn't stick as well. This is why we need multiple formats.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

Apparently not being into Pi Day, Chuck Schumer decided to celebrate Ides-Of-March Eve instead, and led his 9 craven colleagues in stabbing to death the last gasps of democracy on Capitol Hill. Droolius Caesar is delighted.

The EPA's IRIS program assesses the toxicity of chemicals, estimating the amount of each that triggers cancer and other health effects. Its database powered our map.
Now, IRIS faces the gravest threat to its existence since it was created under President Ronald Reagan four decades ago:

Industry-Backed Legislation Would Bar the Use of Science Behind Hundreds of Environmental Protections
Two bills in Congress would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from using hundreds of chemical assessments completed by its IRIS program in environmental regulations or enforcement.

My beloved flamepoint has been gone for 3 years now, and about every 6 months or so, more orange-tipped cream fur either surfaces or jams up my keyboard enough that I need to dredge it out. I have no idea how it fit under there and didn't all come out in the earlier cleanings.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Now that it is fall, one of the crows has brought along a seagull buddy as an enforcer to gain first access. I'm assuming this is the same pair who have shown up seasonally several years in a row now (though it looks like they have a second crow in their family now ).

That's what public libraries with online resources are for -- depends where you live, but for most US libraries, the NYT is likely to either be a stand-alone database link or part of a major news source database (yes, not everything is in those, but a lot is).

Well I'm sure many of the trapped passengers would consider it a form of torture, but ideally it would be dealt with less extremely. Also religious zealots carrying on on airplanes tend to make people nervous nowadays.
