Just got my second shingles shot, and I am prepared to spend the next 2 days on the couch watching Stranger Things. Hopefully, it's not worse than the first, but who knows.

When ICE comes to Philly it’s going to be brutal
Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

What happened to all the art, furniture and priceless historical treasures that were in the East Wing?
Did Trump just give it away to his buddies? Is it at Mar-a-Lago? Did Jared and Ivana just help themselves to it?
No one knows

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Trump May have tried to fire a bunch of IGs anyhow, but this makes it look quite like he conducted a purge as a cover to kill one investigation in particular. newrepublic.com/article/1913...
Did Trump Quietly Kill a Sensitive Pentagon Probe into Elon Musk?
The New York Times revealed last year that Musk and SpaceX failed to meet federal reporting requirements for Pentagon contractors. No one has asked: What’s going on with that today?

Well done for making it to the end of January.
Stop whatever you're doing and read a book to reward yourself.
If you don't have a book, then buy one from an indie bookshop, that way you'll be making TWO people happy.

Was on hold for 15 min, but then had a delightful interaction with Kitchenaid customer support where I learned all about Tennessee slang and that my 4.5 year old blender was still under warranty (for 6 more months). They are sending me a brand new one. Gonna stop right here for the day...

I gave my two-week notice at my job today and I feel tremendously relieved - and a bit guilty for leaving my boss with a mess. But this position has felt like a bait & switch from the beginning and was not the right fit for me, which has led to so much frustration and stress.

A year ago, I was like, omg, if I hear the phrase 'disrupting the real estate industry' one more time....and now, I'm like, 'omg, could we please disrupt something here?' lol I guess the point is that I miss working at a start-up :/

We were going to my in-laws for Thanksgiving, but husband's work got crazy and we can't go now. Still taking next week off because "travel" and trying to throw together a thanksgiving meal at home. So far: picking up a smoked turkey breast + gravy from Bottos, and making a fuck-ton of sides!

How many times should a new job make you cry before you think about leaving? (To be clear, talking about frustration w/ tasks & tools, not toxicity or people being mean). I'm at 2x in 3 months. Trying to make it to 1 year at least...sigh.
