two posts from twitter. Top: (replying to the second post) "(music note) she waited her whole damn life to take Amtrack, and as the train derailed she thought 'well isn't this nice'(music note)". Bottom: (quote tweet, quoting their own earlier tweet) "Train derailed but it was fun while it lasted and I'm so glad I didn't die" Original tweet: "about to get on Amtrack, one of my dreams is almost fulfilled"

Just tried it out. As I've said for a few years, google is getting consistently worse at everything they do (except monetizing their increasingly poor services).
Google search for "country in africa that starts with the letter k" with the top result showing "none of them begin with the letter 'K'. the closest is Kenya, which starts with a 'K' sound, but is actually spelled with a 'K' sound."

"Florida’s Rep Gaetz is demanding that low income schools get 80% federal cut, infants get nutrition cuts & much more OR he shuts down the government & Florida seniors will be delayed in getting SS checks, no one home at Medicare, etc. He wants to be our governor in 2026."

News article image of Matt Gaetz, who is trying to hurt low income children by pulling money from their schools as well as senior citizens by delaying SS checks via government shutdown.

Church nearby always has really vague statements on their signs. Extremely amusing for me.

15 minutes before the current active shooter crisis @ UNC Chapel Hill, students received an email requesting feedback on how the university responded to the shooting that occurred on campus just 2.5 weeks ago.
I hope everyone is safe and wish lawmakers actually cared

Privatizing this vital resource–that for-profit entities abuse whenever they can–is a terrible and dangerous idea. Biden must reject this outright." includes link to commondreams.org
