If you’re tired of living in the reality that is Black Mirror Season 8, Season 7 just hit.

See you in 7ish hours.

I was finally able to start a 529 for my kiddo maybe 3 weeks ago. I've now effectively paid the government $100 to hold my money for me.

When Pearl Jam opened for Tom Petty way back when, it was only on the East Coast and in the Midwest--I almost put that trip on a credit card so I could see them both. I've regretted not doing so ever since.

Is this the void? Where do I scream? I have questions.
