Yesterday I got a perfect al chiodo but messed up the saucing.

At this time I would like to reiterate my call to re-regulate the airlines:
🔹Mandatory charge for carry-on bags (which goes toward TSA budget). Airlines can tack-on whatever they want.
🔹No charge for checked bags.
It’s currently ass-backwards.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

So the lesson here is Democrats have to find a candidate with irresistible charisma who is immune to wreckers and whose achievements can be inflated by his or her fans.

It's true. I just did a "Books" search in Google for "France Old Regime" and got an error message "It looks like there aren't any books on this topic."
GoogleBooks could just be "down" for scheduled maintenance (or whatever) but that's not what the error message says.

The only item on the agenda in the Greenland legislature today was the premier’s report on the state of the nation.
Redegørelse for Rigets tilstand fra formanden for Naalakkersuisut: “USA’s præsident har … fortsat fremsat disse udtalelser uden at trække dem tilbage. Samlet set er budskabet og målsætningen klar: Grønland skal overtages og styres af USA. Dette er desværre fortsat gældende og uændret.”
