Why do you report on Prime Day like it’s news every year? Does Amazon pay for this? It’s weird.

The news is on drugs. Or it’s making me feel like I’m on drugs. Oh wait it’s the rich and powerful who are actually all on drugs.

“We must by any means necessary, force them to be like us”. Can’t believe he said this so plainly. This is what I don’t understand about Republicans - why do you require everyone to be just like you??? Why must everyone and everything be a frictionless reflection and endorsement of you?

So I too had never heard of the song Choosin’Texas and so I went and listened to it and now I would like Rolling Stone to move me to the list of people that do not like the song Choosin’Texas.

Forget all these AI assistants that will pay your bills and pan a trip itinerary - I need one that will scan my emails and softly break it to me if anything bad is in there, calmly describe the issue in kind words, and then gently coax me to reply.

I’m Gen X and would also never think to stop at a coffee shop on my way to a job interview to get a drink to sip during the interview. It’s too casual and all about me. I’m clearly in the minority here.

I’ve been putting money into a flexible spending health account for a few years now and suddenly halfway through this year the only way I can access my money is with a passkey / fingerprint. I was outraged and tried to fight it but eventually just wanted to be reimbursed. I gave in. 😞

…last year over the Kimmel /FCC thing and found that to to get MSNow on Sling it’s $60 a month. It’s considered premium,while there are free Fox feeds galore and you can get Fox News for a $5 day pass or in the $20 per month package.

It’s a real problem that MAGA media is cheap or free while actual journalism and left leaning media is costly. I understand that’s probably because doing actual journalism costs money but for opinion sites like MSNow they really should have some kind of free stream somewhere. I quit Hulu…

Remember how much Trump loved Duterte during his first administration? He was taking notes. Maybe he’ll follow in his footsteps ask the way to the ICC in The Hague. (Dutarte’s trial for crimes against humanity starts in November) www.politico.com/story/2017/0...

Olivia Rodrigo raised $20 million for women's well-being with a benefit show featuring a women-led lineup. Her show raised $10 million and Melinda French Gates pledged another $10 million. Rodrigo said the festival's artists and activists give her hope despite the “regression of women's rights."
