instead, use &udm=14 at the end of your search. it is an internal google code that turns off the summary

A few shop reminders. 🧶
First up, last call for our Disney Pixar-inspired Countdown Calendar! Preorders close tomorrow at 8pm so we can start dyeing them up. If you’ve been on the fence, now’s the time to grab one.

Finally finished the yoke of my current Bohüs Stickning reproduction sweater, The Green Wood. The photo doesn’t do this Kerstin Olson design of greens and blues justice at all. Now on to the seemingly infinite stockinette body and sleeves (which I honestly love knitting, even at 8-9 sts/inch).

Confirmed.
I’ll emphasize that this is a rumor.
But I’ve heard from people I trust that CDC has been ordered to scrub their datasets of LGBTQIA identifiers. This is supposed to start tomorrow.
If you rely on gov datasets that have anything to do with this anti-woke witch hunt, I would download a copy ASAP.

There's already too few Rangers in the park. Dangerously few. Trump wants to cut $587 million from the NPS budget. (17%).
This means our national parks will be even more vulnerable to poaching.
