Am I the only person who finds the plastic soup spoons at Panera to be unusable? My lips end up shredded every time I am stuck using one. It makes Autumn Squash Soup season particularly exciting.

I did my math wrong, but it was still less than 20%. Abysmal.
Is my math correct? Less than 5% of registered voters in New Haven turned out to vote for mayor yesterday?
That’s a major sign of a dysfunctional democracy.
I’ve tried multiple times to sign up for the mailing list for the DTC, and I have yet to receive a single email.

When I said that I was shook yesterday by my polling place not letting us vote for 45 minutes, this is partially why.
Im still angry. Even more angry when I see that my city had single digit turnout percentage for the mayoral race.
