It's a tiny, utterly irrelevant thing...
But having written for & edited a few local print publications back in the day, I can't abandon em-dashes to be nothing more than LLM owl pellets. 😂

Sigh. At this point, I think the only path back to sanity is printing Jefferson's writing about education on the plastic bats that make the satisfying "BWOOPBWOOP* sound when whomped on someone's head.
(Not saying Jefferson was perfect, of course.)

Someone shares a delicious take on green bean casserole...
White people in the comments:
"Too much seasoning. All you need is salt and pepper."
"It should be drier than that."
"Why are you adding mushrooms & bacon?"
"Condensed soup is better than homemade roux and sauce."
🗣 STOP EMBARRASSING US

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

This is a terrible thing to report before bed, but the USAID death toll has now passed 600,000.
Over 400,000 of which are children.
It is now at 88 deaths per hour.

Yeah, Google habitually kills or downgrades great features.
I don't like relying upon extensions b/c their ecosystem is a recipe for abandoned projects, but I think the closest thing to a fully equivalent GUI-based replacement is going to be one of these:

Seems like an odd way to say “under Schumer’s leadership the caucus has hung together”
SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.
