I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I don't understand how it's 5:00 pm already. All I've done today was go grocery shopping and eat lunch.

Why is it that with the really big bags of plantain chips that, regardless of the brand, if you look at it funny, the bag will tear itself in half?

I have a question about mosquitos. I may be allergic to them or... When I get bit, it itches tremendously and swells up. But when I get bit later in the year, say around August, it swells up ridiculously huge. I think the biggest I've measured was probably around 7-8 inches. Does anyone know why?

There's too much news all the time.
So trump has tariffs on aluminum and steel? And now on agriculture from Mexico and Canada and China?
In return Canada is cutting off power to the US. What else is coming at us?

Reality keeps shifting on me. I used to think I was crazy, but turns out...
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

It's been my experience that the majority of people tend to get things wrong/not understand what's happening in my day to day. I tend to over compensate for that.
All to say, not surprised by the state the US is in. trump's learned how to exploit that. It's the only intelligence I've seen from him

My phone used to just highlight the words that it thought were misspelled and then offer suggestions when you clicked it. Now my phone just replaces words, or removes words or duplicates words. And it really does not mesh with my brain. I have predictive text and spellcheck turned off. But still...

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:
