Quite contrary, terrible gardener. OhioU alum, rustbelter, consultant. I ❤️ dogs, baseball, stories, commas, and human rights. If empathy is a sin, then I’ll be damned.
The ironic thing is that conservative parents started pushing Boy Scouts to allow girls to participate because they felt Girl Scouts became too progressive (i.e. feminist and supportive of trans and NB kids).
Regardless, I can’t see this playing well with anyone except the most extreme MAGAs

The History of the American Economy should be right up there with Econ and Accounting 101 for business majors.
Speaking of Econ 101, some people should really look into the sunk cost fallacy.

ken have i told u about the humble potato
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

I was recently diagnosed with uterine cancer. Very early stage
I am so lucky none of my docs/NPs dismissed me. Told me to lose weight. Told me random heavy bleeding was just peri. Told me to eat more protein/leafy veg/probiotics
Everyone’s reaction was “no, that’s not normal. Let’s look into that”

I had a point where walking left me in enormous pain. I went to one doctor whose main answer was "stop being fat" and just...didn't ask anyone else about it for a long time.
I tried so many things.

I think people my age and older forget, and people younger have no idea, but Bill Clinton was legendarily charismatic and charming. Not in a creepy way (although that def contributed to the womanizing). Many people talked about how he made you feel like the only person in the room
Mamdani seems like he has the Bill Clinton magic quality of being able to make anyone talking to him feel special (I think even Newt felt charmed by Clinton in person!). Trump loves him lol
Trump on Mamdani: "I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."

“Walmart and others.” It’s a lie that the cost of food is down, but also clear the man cannot name another grocery store.
Trump shamelessly lies: "Go to Walmart and other companies, and in every case it's about 25% that a Thanksgiving meal and surroundings are 25% lower. That's big fact."

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Insurance premiums, which is where people are seeing enormous increases, are not eligible FSA expenses. There are also limits on how much can be set aside in an FSA, which is $3,400 for 2026.
So even if someone could use FSA dollars for insurance premiums, it would cover a month or two? Maybe?
