Mass. drivers hitting roads early, as millions will travel in days before Thanksgiving
Massachusetts Thanksgiving travelers are already plotting their game plan to not get stuck in heavy traffic in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.

take extra care on the roads this week, whether you're traveling or in local traffic from other people traveling, especially if you're somewhere with snow already. lots of cops out too so watch out for that as well.
oh wow massachusetts could have up to 40+ questions on next year's ballot. probably less than half will clear admin requirements, but that's still gonna be so much to vote on.

one thing I think would blow a lotta ppl's minds if they understood it is that when you go to the hospital for a PET scan, they're literally using real antimatter to create those images. the P in PET stands for Positron, a.k.a. an anti-electron, and the machine uses anti-electrons to scan you

kept putting off shopping for better curtains but the light still annoys me, so i just took a pair of older towels roughly the size of each window and used a staple gun to hold them at the top, and they can be lifted/rolled up if i want the window open. good enough, and better insulated for winter.

i hope that it becomes the norm in my lifetime that we'll be able to take trains to get around the country instead of always needing to fly to avoid traffic. it's rather embarrassing as a country that there isn't the same level of high speed service between states like elsewhere in the world.

This one really is useful because you won’t see a more clear demonstration of one of the most damaging political phenomena of the era: the reactionary professional mind rejecting unacceptable reality, only able to process and comprehend it via something close to conspiracy theory.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

The internet is a nightmare 99% of the time. But that other 1% when I think I've broken a household appliance only to find a friendly YouTube video where someone fixes that exact issue. Is enough to restore my faith in humanity.

Scheduling mifepristone largely invalidates the point of the schedule.
Ostensibly, the schedule is meant to monitor drugs *which have the ability to form physical dependence*.
