Watching someone on YouTube assemble a $47,000 wristwatch. A couple of things:
1. It's fantastic ASMR
2. If I win Powerball, I'm totally splurging on a Swiss handmade stupid-expensive watch.

Apparently my E-ZPass hasn't worked for years and they've been using pay-by-plate to charge my E-ZPass account for tolls (at the E-ZPass rate). But it would have been good to know this and get a new one before driving to another state that doesn't plate-match and getting a big bill from them.

Getting ready for my first #coastercon since I found out I have asthma. Not sure how this is going to go, but looking forward to hanging out with friends at theme parks even if I don't get to ride as much.

Over on Whatever today, I've written a longish piece on billionaires and boycotts, how boycotts are effective (and are not), what to do when you don't feel you can boycott, and what to say when someone is telling you that you're not doing it right:

In the '80s, I sat down with the Sears Wishbook and circled things I wanted or needed. Today, I do the same thing with the weekly Food Lion ad.
