This isn't actually my son, just his absolute doppelganger. But that this could be his twin hit me like a ton of bricks

I am a dumb. After I bought my house back in the 90s, I would get a trickle of mail addressed to the old occupants.

I love that when I watch an extra-old movie on one of the streaming platforms it spends around a minute buffering.
I imagine an army of gnomes in the server farm saying "Oh crap Louise! Someone's watching 'The Maltese Falcon!' Quick, dust it off and get those reels down to Stream Central!"

As a kid I didn't like Reagan because I was a knee-jerk liberal.
As an adult I've come to realize so many bad turns in American policies (For profit health insurance, not enforcing the Robinson-Patman Act, end of the Fairness Doctrine) stemmed from that rat bastard.
Congrats 16 year old me.

I always try to muster empathy for people.
The best I can can up with is "it's got to be really difficult to be spineless and power-hungry while also having some awareness of others based only on your own experiences"

Sen. Mitch McConnell, the former Republican leader and a polio survivor, issued a statement in support of the polio vaccine, hours after The New York Times reported that the lawyer for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. petitioned regulators to withdraw the vaccine from the market. nyti.ms/4iwSCbV
McConnell Defends Polio Vaccine, an Apparent Warning to RFK Jr.
“Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous,” said the former Republican leader, who is a polio survivor.

I've been making my dog's food for a few months now:
Costco proteins and veg are the cheapest. Bulk is good when you're making 2 weeks worth
Butchering 10 lbs. of pork loin is not worth the money saved vs buying ground
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No Matter. Try again. Fail again.
Fail better"
