@kallao.bsky.social Oh man, that Two Nice Girls cover was played a whole lot in the mid 90s "City Folk" days of a certain public radio station I will no longer mention by name since they laid off one of my closest friends this year. Hearing it gave me flashbacks to that time.

@kallao.bsky.social So where you worked previously never played the “rock mix” of that Shinedown? That’s the version I’m more used to.

it's all I get, now, a dozen or more Medicare scam calls a day. Democrats could have made this a priority & stolen millions of annoyed voters because it's an actual, tangible thing they can relate to as an improvement in their lives but it's not a "kitchen table issue"
I wrote this for the @nytimes.com: Scammers are calling seniors more than 50 times a day. Some who get scammed wind up with weird charges on their Medicare and mysterious packages on their porches

This is obviously total thuggery, but, in my limited capacity as a short-lived former letter carrier for USPS: it is also a completely empty bluff. Fucking good luck to Amazon doing last mile delivery to every address in the US.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

50 years ago this week, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert made the first pilot for their TV show. In honor of this huge anniversary, I created my definitive “Best of Siskel & Ebert” article - 50 of their best reviews from across their entire career. 👍🏻👍🏻

Senate Republicans say they’re open to extending a pot of Affordable Care Act funds that will expire at the end of the year — but only if Democrats acquiesce to stricter abortion restrictions on insurance plans.
Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.
