Hi 👋🏼
I don't yet know how actively I'll use this account, but I figured it was time to get my content out of Elon Musk's dumpster and see where all the cool kids had run off to.

Most of you are probably (wisely) already in bed, but I did the thing and I need to share it now while the thoughts are fresh on my mind. Have a spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Have park offerings increased enough in the past 10 years (when single-day tickets first crossed the $100 mark) to justify doubling in price?
I would need to make a detailed list of changes to answer more thoughtfully, but my gut says no.

I keep seeing this trend of parents making play date "business cards" for their young kids to hand out to friends, with the parent's phone #, because their kids don't have their own phones. And I'm like, that's cute, but why is it necessary? Before cell phones, you'd just tell your friend your #.

I am hereby bringing back the phrase "gronk out." As in, "Most days I feel like gronking out about 5 minutes after I see the news."
Doing some book research into the mid-90s internet - this is a glossary from The Internet For Beginners, Usborne, 1997. It has made me feel very nostalgic

Patricia Routledge's passing inspired me to start a rewatch of Hetty Wainthropp. In my 🏴☠️ searching, I found one source that was a recording from PBS & had this intro, and gosh, talk about a forgotten memory! All those Sunday nights over TV dinners came flooding back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4502...

Things I've been hearing are imminent for 6+ months now:
-recession
-the bursting of the AI bubble
On the surface, it's easy enough to believe these events are inevitable, but I'm not gonna lie - the more time goes by, the more I doubt cries of "any day now!" Am I right to become more skeptical?

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Anyone who believes that adults do not belong at Disney parks on their own is WELCOME to go back in time and give my mother the five thousand dollars she would have needed in order to bring us at the "correct" time.

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not.

Votes aren't love letters.
Voting is the CIVIC DUTY of every citizen of a democratic republic, to show up and cast their vote for whichever one of the two viable options presented will govern better going forward.
If you need to be "inspired" to vote, you're over-privileged at best.
