The term “visitability” refers to building homes in a way that allows those with mobility issues to be able to visit as easily as anyone else.
This accessibility design is cost-effective when built-in from the start and reduces social isolation related to being unable to visit family and friends.

One of the weirdest things about graveyard shift is getting a lot of your historical news early and some of it very late. I watched the 2000 election count unfold and saw an exhausted Dan Rather announce live that Gore withdrew his concession. Then I woke up at 3pm on 9/11.

Completely agree. Always pull these threads back to the Reagan Administration and Bush I.
Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

Feels fitting to celebrate with some of my Pokémon since I first started my journey 27 years ago with a Gameboy Pocket, Pokémon Blue, and a Squirtle I named Bubbles.

NEW: This year, Trump ended collective bargaining rights for 1 million federal workers — ending union protections for 1 in 14 unionized workers in the U.S.
No, Trump hasn’t helped workers. He’s helped bosses exploit them. Lawrence S. Wittner in @inequality.org:

50 Jaw Fossils:

1 Female
0 Alpha
0 Shiny
Sail Fossil:
40 Male
10 Female
2 Alpha (both female)

So apparently you can get Alpha fossils in Pokémon Legends Z-A, which I just learned after buying 50 of each Jaw and Sail Fossils in hopes of finding a shiny.
I'm through 75 of the fossils currently and found this lovely lady. Hoping the remaining 25 Sail Fossils grant a shiny.

We have an unofficial competition in our family when we get a new Pokémon title to see who gets the first shiny Pokémon encounter not programed into the game.
We got Pokémon Legends Z-A over the weekend, but only two cartridges spilt between the three of us. So kiddo and I have been playing while

It took four hours, a couple breaks, and over 40 resets later after getting Legends Z-A to get my female Chikorita. But she's mine and we are so ready to go.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
