I think the Albertsons / Safeway customer service hold music is trying to sonically break apart my brain matter into tiny pieces. That's what it feels like, anyway, whenever the beat drops.

Reminder that there exists an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet filmed with untrained stray cats in Rome, dubbed over by British Shakespearean actors.
It's called 'Romeo.Juliet' and has never been given a VHS/ DVD or Bluray release. BUT THERE IS A COPY ON THE INTERNET ARCHIVE.

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.
USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

You know how a lot of people with ADHD say that, when faced with a crisis or an emergency, they suddenly are able to think clearly and stay perfectly calm and collected while jumping into action? Yeah... I'm definitely not that kind of ADHD.

Looking for recommendations: who here has one of Kobo's color models? How dimmable is it for reading at night w/ sensitive eyes? (I typically set my b&w kindle to barely-lit-at-all). Would you recommend one model over another? I want to replace my Kindle because y'know... Amazon. #booksky

I just wrote a song:
🎶 The Cold That Never Ends 🎶
This is the cold that never ends,
It just goes on and on, my friends.
One day you think you're over it 'cause you're feelin' fine,
But when you wake again you find that your hopes were benign!
This is the cold that never ends....

Hrm. While I don't think we should outright dismiss apologies & attempts to change, it's going to take a lot more evidence of *actual* behavioral changes over time before we come anywhere close to trusting that she's being genuine though. She could start by apologizing directly to David Hogg.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'
