It is a truth universally acknowledged that if I have a major life decision to make, I will buy and assemble furniture as a way of avoiding it.

The Latest Defense Against ICE: 3D-Printed Whistles
Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

A 50 year mortgage is basically an interest only loan. AKA rent.
The median age of first time home buyers is 40
The US lifespan is 78

Buying a $1M home with 20% down and a 50-year fixed mortgage at 6%?
Your loan is $800k.
Your monthly payment is ~$4,317.
After 30 years you’ll have paid $1.55M but only $201k of that is principal.
You’d still owe about $599k.
50-year mortgages barely touch the principal for decades.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Starbucks baristas at Disneyland’s Downtown Disney store - and across the country - are getting strike-ready unless Starbucks finalizes contracts and ends union-busting by November 13th.
It would take less than ONE DAY’S SALES to finish these contracts.

My autistic brain does not form habits the way a neurotypical brain does. So I forget to brush my teeth. A lot. Me, a 35 year old who, except for the early pandemic, has gone to the dentist every six months since childhood. I literally just forget without the recurring tasks I set on my calendar.
They just become more familiar, so I dont have to dedicate as much thought to the steps.
Every single time I've brushed or flossed my teeth, for 37 years, it's been a series of conscious actions that require thought and willpower.
Nothing gets to be automatic.

If you are tempted to avoid jury service because it's inconvenient or difficult, please remember this case and the others that have found citizens targeted by this administration not guilty. Jury service is public service and your participation absolutely matters.
