the original was better, but the reboot will do.
look, i get that it seems ridiculous to spend $30 for two-dozen colored pencils for a 4 year old but, hear me out here, you have to sharpen them like 1/10th as much, they last forever, and you never have to worry about sharpening only to break the lead or find out the lead is already broken inside

he’s building a private army accountable to nobody except himself. i cant believe some people still are not accepting this. it’s only a matter of time before he unleashes ICE on dissidents and dems are just going to ask judges for rulings as if the people with the guns care

the social security wage base is the level after which you don't pay any more social security tax on the marginal dollar earned. it's adjusted every year and its currently $176k per-W2 you receive. For reference, that's about the 90th percentile for a 35 to 44 year-old with a college degree.

i just finished reading The Puppets of Spellhorst and The Hotel Balzaar to the toddler. Supposedly they are for kids7+ but I read them to a precocious 4 year old. These are books for people who love reading. The stories have depth and there is a lot of room for the reader to ponder make connections

fwiw i think EV should have additional adj that makes them cheaper than ICE when small and low and violently expensive if heavy and tall. their acceleration makes them absolute death machines bc ppl treat every stoplight like a drag race. we need to govern acceleration more than max speed imho
