Dear fellow Micro Center patron, do you know where ppl are posting info for local actions lately?

Based on the name my inclination is it's a group composed more or less entirely of plants and "preparing to" means the non-plant alleged member(s) participated in a directed conversation where they expressed positive sentiments re: (vaguely) blowing stuff up.

Bit of a non-answer but any of the books from the Library of America box set, especially if available used. Good mix of stuff in all of them.

"It's not care—it's compulsion" and "let's be real: Declaring healthcare a 'right' isn't noble—it's..." could both easily be examples in a guide for recognizing AI writing.

Or he did a course of monthly lecanemab for Alzheimer's. It can have heavy short-term side effects following each infusion and sometimes causes swelling or bleeding in the brain, which may present similarly to a stroke. MRI and PET are used to monitor treatment.

I saw that, too. Just today, though, I've encountered material from the NRSC poll passed around as though it weren't an NRSC product I don't even know how many times.

Of course, it still lacks a solid definition and I'd guess remains irritating? I have to say I vastly prefer it to things like "wine mom" and "cringe" if we're appropriating derisive social media-isms for ourselves.

Interesting, people I know don't use it like that at all. Instead, it's neutral to positive, deescalating ("does this look like a crowd of antifa terrorists to you, or a crowd of normies?"), person on the street who's distinctly not a "median voter," the opposite of "terminally online."

The Truman Reconstruction also included plenty of asbestos. I'm trying to look for archived news mentioning remediation just in case there were any efforts that were reported on to any degree in, say, the 90s. (Yes, while procrastinating.)
