Maybe I lived in Texas too long, but my immediate reaction was “I’d expect that refrigeration would be needed”

Dulles has shown a demo model of their “mobile lounge” which allows passengers to bypass the dreaded “mid-field terminal and correctional facility” at only a $349 add-on fee. Plus tax.
Delighted to be launching a new range of super cheap Fly Drive holidays today!

Two unexpected days of mild rains in Phoenix (in June!!) are an unusual break for our desert plants. Visited the Desert Botanical Garden.

Our McDonalds drive thru is closed due to catastrophic damage. I'm just trying to find out what happened now.

Reminder: go through those Amazon “subscriptions”. They might have been good prices when you signed up, or you might not need them anymore. We cancelled $140 of monthly purchases
Unfortunately it’s probably going to become harder and harder for disabled people to participate in these boycotts, as support systems and programs get less money (if any) and are stretched thinner than they already are
My question is why we aren’t all just not shopping at any of these - target, Amazon, etc for the rest of forever. I do not miss any of them. I love the “small” folks I’ve found to replace them. Discomfort is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I won’t be back.

I’m autistic. Wife and I were bawling during this.
Usually I cringe when the topic comes up on tv, but kudos to the producers and the cast who I think did an admirable job of showing and explaining without exploiting. ❤️

Word nerds unite! Lot of great books here in every genre imaginable!!
I have 214.6K followers, and I figure at least some of them are looking to gift books this holiday season, so:
HEY AUTHORS OF BLUESKY: In the comments to this post, tell us (briefly!) about your most recent book, and put in a link to where people can learn more and/or buy the book in question.
Go!

Long thread 🧵 but well worth reading, and gets to a bit part of why US healthcare is a slow-motion train wreck
If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

NJ, I take back everything I said about you.
NJ passes a law preventing cranky fucknuts from going apeshit on school libraries and librarians.

It's called the "Freedom to Read Act."

Got a new king size electric blanket where each side of the bed is controlled individually so I can achieve my dream of having one butt cheek hot and the other cheek cold by laying exactly in the middle
