Roasting coffee on my days off.
Running half marathons for my days on.
Reading news I pay for subscriptions to
today while folding laundry I found a sock by itself and thought "oh man, one sock missing."
five minutes later I found another sock of the same colour by itself and commiserated, "Jesus! Another sock is missing? Now my wardrobe is down TWO pairs of socks😤😢"

Next question:

Can cheesecake still be someone's favorite PIE?

I think so

if you can make butter at home just with heavily whipped whipping cream, then how can people make SALTED butter?

Is there salted whipping cream?

at the end of every day, my girlfriend and i always go to brush our teeth in the bathroom at the same time

… as children, we both had dentists that told us that brushing alone does not prevent cavities

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

still a “Gulf”, though :(

next time that titles are made up for this body of water, maybe someone at Google can call it an “Ocean”

Social media has been around for like 2 decades and some of y'all are still not checking the replies before replying to make sure you're not the fifth or twentieth person saying the same thing. This should be basic social media etiquette at this point.

judging by the words of every person i know with both a car and a home in the suburbs, Vancouver’s “congestion pricing” might already exist in the form of its current costs for parking
A million cars have disappeared!

“Congestion pricing [in New York City] began on January 5. One month in, traffic is down, public buses are faster, and transit ridership is up.” Via @fastcompany

No surprise for those of us championing decongestion pricing for a long time. We know it works.
