After striking out at two stores for pickled okra for a thing for the bar, I just placed my most unhinged Instacart order ever: pickled okra, apples, frozen hash browns, and shredded cheese.

I swear to God Instagram changed the part of the screen that clicks through to the advertised content specifically so I would constantly accidentally click links trying to tap through Stories and then they could tell advertisers their click-through rates are up and I fucking hate it.

He did get a raise, so I'm not actually whining about our income, it was just a raise they had to give literally all the ER docs because a consultant figured out that low salaries compared to similar hospitals were hampering recruitment. But still. A certificate??

Denver Public Schools in 2021 spent $30 million to buy neighboring property to allow Denver School of the Arts to grow from 1,100 students to 1,700. Almost 5 years later, the expansion has been scaled back and key initiatives to diversify haven’t come to fruition. // Story via @chalkbeat.org
DPS promised to expand and diversify its elite public arts school. It hasn’t happened yet.
Cost concerns and competing priorities hindered a planned expansion that would have opened the school to more students without auditions.

My kid has tried to get into the visual arts program twice. It's particularly galling that they were emailing and texting us constantly to apply during the choice window, and then she didn't get a callback. It's way too small of a program.

![UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MARK KELLY,
Plaintiff,
Civil Case No. 26-81 (RJL)
V.
PETE HEGSETH, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
February 12, 2026 [Dkt. #2]
United States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and
policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement
rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these
issues.
Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military
servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental
obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary
Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over
the military. This Court will not be the first to do so!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiclbgaenrhgnor6zvmnfql4d3olwzqp7zikm3maum5ylc4m6epys4@jpeg)
