How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

Screenshot of message from UPS:

Today is World Postcard Day and the theme this year is ‘Wish you were here…’

Did you know that according to the Postal Museum in London, 900 million postcards were sent in one year during the early 1900s!

Good afternoon to everyone, but especially to all the raccoons, for today is their special day!

This woodcut of a raccoon was printed in 1635 in 'Historia Naturae, Maxime Peregrinae' by Juan Eusebio Nieremberg.

A hand holds several postcards in front of a bright red postbox. The postcards feature the official 2025 World Postcard Day design, showing an illustration of a woman outdoors, looking up as postcards float through a green landscape with trees and hills.

Artemis update:

It's been a tough time. He is still in the hospital, not eating.

A few folks have asked how they can help, so I've set up a GoFundMe to help with costs.

If you've ever loved Artemis, his gravity experiments and feel moved to help him, here's the link.

I’m also coming into this without any preseason coverage. I might start catching up with player interviews and the like just to fill the void between episode airings.
