I was today-years-old when I learned that the key on an NBA basketball court was actually shaped like a key 75 years ago.

Thank you to the US Senate for voting to avert severe cuts to DC's local budget.

DC leaders and countless DC residents advocated fiercely against the cuts, and our voices are being heard.

Now, we urge the US House to pass the bill and protect public safety, schools, and critical services in DC.

Poetry Foundation not fucking around with today's poem of the day
www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/89897/...
A screenshot of Maggie Smith's "Good Bones" Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.

This headline reads like the BBC is terrified of being sued for libel by the rhino.
Headline: Zebra dies after 'incident' with rhino at zoo.

I've been putting off sending a professional email since July because I've dreaded the response.

I sent it today, and received a reply of "no worries that's fine" in about three minutes.

I will learn nothing from this.
