Okay, Audible, where's the "play from start" button?

Audible: "Why would anyone need such a thing? You finish the book, and then you're done! It will play from the start after that."

And if I don't finish it, and come back to it months later?

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Every year when it gets to be close to autumn, I bake a ton of cookies for my friends. And then I remember that I don’t have any friends, and I eat them by myself.

If you enjoyed The Outer Worlds, that’s fantastic, I’m glad you did.

For me, I think the main issue was… Okay, it was loading times on XBox One. By a mile.

But the SECOND main issue was I didn’t find the corporate stuff compelling. I found it “yeah, I get it. I got it before I pressed start” 😵‍💫

Retailers warned that raising wages would "force" them to raise prices and to use automated checkout. Fed min wage remained flat, but they raised prices & used automated checkout anyway. Result: Workers got even poorer as customer service plummeted while prices & profits soared.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Some incredibly good news:

One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.

In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.

In short, it’s working.

So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
