The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I’m taking no news as good news on the Broadway musicians possible strike. I 100% support union workers getting a better deal… I just need to know if my yearly Broadway weekend is up in smoke. Fingers crossed that they worked out a deal.

@fetterman.senate.gov where are you? Senator Booker could use your support. Please do something to help him hold the floor and disrupt the corrupt Senate agenda. We want you to fight for us! — a frustrated constituent

“I’m not voting for this, it’s gonna destroy the middle class / worker’s rights / LGBTQ protections / our economic stability” is a thing you should just keep on saying.

A mom just came in SO EXCITED to find a map store bc her son would LOVE it.
She tries to be coy. "My son is... Really into maps. Real special kid."
I'm like, ma'am, this is a map store. Half my customers are on the spectrum. I have a trains and transit section. You're among friends.
