How bad is the state of the nation? Bluesky is basically not talking about the Jewel Theft at the Louvre. That bad, y'all.
I hope every time Donald is in the White House, Harry Truman's ghost puts DJT's hand in cold water and springs a leak in his Depends.

This is why Republicans shutdown the government. Because they refuse to extend the ACA subsidies that expire at the end of the year. With open enrollment starting at Nov 1, marketplace insurers can no longer wait to publish rates. With alt text.

"What I’m trying to say is that if you want a safe and functional road, guardrails are only part of the solution. The rest of it is stuff like maintenance, adherence to the law, and upholding a very basic sense of human decency."
I’m a Guardrail, and I Don’t Know What the Fuck You People Want from Me
Okay, so look. I’m your basic galvanized steel thrie-beam guardrail. My job is to keep vehicles from flying off the escarpment and squishing all th...

And we also have to pay taxes for our government employees to get health insurance, and the cost of higher education and other goods and services are inflated by the cost to those employers of providing health insurance.
Lot of people who hold down 2 part time jobs, are self employed or contract workers on ACA. Oldest & sickest are on Medicare and/or Medicaid.
No, it pays *nothing* until you're out 6 grand. Then it pays 50%.

all the anxiety human evolution developed to help me spot bears now kicks in when i have to answer emails
As a gimp who struggles without a cart, I'm always happy to give someone in the ALDI parking lot a quarter for their cart... And happily let people have my cart w/o the quarter bc then I don't have to walk it back!
I used to say "no problem" all the time as a service person, but realized it devalued the work we did. So I switched to "You're welcome!" because they were in fact welcome to the service, even if it was something tough.
Only works in places where you have space to sort things out when you bag. It may be pre-sorted, but the heavier stuff has to be on the bottom the cart, so it comes out last, and then you have to get it *back* in the cart first.
Every so often I have to beg the cart person to take my electric cart back into the store for me. I comfort myself with the notion that at least I gave them a chance to sit down.
I dated someone *who had worked in food service* in Florida. We had to have The Talk about how a normal tip in a normal state was at least 15%. (Once I realized it was ignorance & not rudeness we worked that part out.)
for eating out of hand, I'm a Winesap devotee myself, but they've been coming out with some pretty good long keepers that stay firm and tasting good longer lately. The two week Winesap season is too short 😭
The amount of trouble Truman got into over having to rebuild the entire building from the inside because the entire foundation, the framing and the floors were literally dissolving under it! And there goes little Donny with his Mafia Steam shovel...
I've cooked for volunteer historical catering and I'm really kinda over the Granny Smith. Too sturdy and too tart for most of the recipes I'm doing. But, if it's a choice between a case of Granny Smith & a case of Macintoshes, absolutely Granny Smith .
Ok, not curry, but definitely Indian spices.
I can beat the medievalists! In 61 CE, revolting British natives attacked the Roman colony of Camulodunum (Colchester). In 2015, in a domestic space, archs found the remains of a whole box of coriander as well as fenugreek, poppy seeds, cumin, & other Indian spices. Homesick Roman women made curry.
I'm pretty sure there were Indian spices in England before potatoes.

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”
