I'm an hour in on Dave Eggers's The Circle and it's triggery as hell—I feel like a refugee from the future...and I left friends behind. 😬🫡
And it's nice to see someone use "myriad" correctly. I'm closing in on my 100-book goal for 2025, and the misuse of "myriad" has given me agita more than once.

I've never been a smoker, but the #Scarpetta books seriously make me crave a cigarette. Big Tobacco couldn't have afforded this much effective advertising.

I'm late to the homemade bone broth party, but happy to be here.
Will my MCAS-busted gut play along, since I can't eat the meat that came off the bones I roast, boil/slow cook, and pressure can? Maybe! Will my husband's 3 tastebuds notice the difference in the Ramen? Who knows!

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

If your flight is canceled and you no longer want to take the trip, or have found another way of getting to your destination, the airline is legally required to refund your money, even if you bought a non-refundable ticket. You can thank Pete Buttigeg.

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.
