Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Sometimes the irony of post-capitalism is just too much.

Husband had a layover at O’Hare on the way back from a funeral in the Midwest and stopped to pick up our family’s preferred Chicago popcorn in the terminal.

In Brownsville, Texas, some families found a buzzy new school’s methods—surveillance of kids, software in lieu of teachers—to be an education in and of itself.

I for one embrace my Canadian overloads, eh.
Canada could end up winning the World Series and taking over the United States.
Enten: "Canada is far more popular than Donald Trump is here in the United States. The net popularity of Canada is +49. Trump is -10. We're talking about Canada coming out nearly 60 points ahead on the net popularity ratings versus Donald Trump here in the US"

Forgot I had installed the MyShake app until the earthquake a few minutes ago.
It yells at you to find cover, which is great except when it’s 3am and your half awake self that was just shook up shrieks at your whole family who slept right thru to duck and cover.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Coming of sexual age in an era defined by the knowledge that, “if you have sex? You might contract a terrible disease, be intensely stigmatized by everyone, die a horrible lingering death, and also doom those you love to that fate”
And then seeing people die? Yeah, that had an effect on Gen X
