American roundabouts: where yield signs go to die. Today someone went the wrong way, hopped the sidewalk, and kept going like it was a bonus level. Can we just get a traffic light or a stop sign and call it a day?

In my life, I’ve seen a lot of ugly car designs. Remember the “box” cars in the 80s? Now I feel the Tesla Cyber Truck is the worst! Plus, I prefer my car parts to be welded or bolted on, not glued!!! 😎

I just got a call that my car service appointment has been cancelled because the dealership is shutting down. But, hey the #Economy is fine...
Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I predicted it perfectly — on Wednesday, #Texas went from “melting your face off” to “why is my heater broken?” weather. It’s official: Texas doesn’t have four seasons, it has two settings — Hot and Not.
