Reading through appliance reviews on Reddit is infuriating. It's great that you've had your washing machine without an issue since 1986. But that company has been sold twice, shipped their manufacturing overseas and redesigned three times. Give me a rec from the era of planned obsolescence or stfu.

After 5 days of watching my niblings, the kids are alive, the dog is alive, the house is still standing.

Yet another measles outbreak. There are outbreaks across the country.
If you were born after 1957 and do not have documentation of two measles vaccine doses, talk to your healthcare provider about a lab test to check for measles immunity.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

I'm the target market for this ad. I'm a middle aged white lady in the suburbs with a very beloved, very spoiled, very fast dog and a modest amount of disposible income. It's me. I'm the target.
And this is absolutely fucking terrifying technology that will get people killed.

Bad Bunny's halftime show was a delight. Many great artists have been underwhelming on that stage, but the whole performance was really good.
Literally, my only criticism is that the costumer forgot to cut the vents on his suit jacket. Which should haunt them forever (the costumer, not Bad Bunny).

Eyes on the streets, y'all. ICE has reportedly detained parents at Ypsi Community Schools bus stops. Make sure our kids and neighbors are able to get to and from school safely.
Here are a few ways to support our immigrant neighbors in Washtenaw County, from the Washtenaw Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Rights (WICIR). #a2council

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.
