Tuned in to see a special 20th anniversary “Dôme Coming” special for the @neworleanssaints.bsky.social and I’ve seen IDK… 25 commercials. Thanks, ESPN. Can we let NOLA have a second? Sheesh!

🌙 Jupiter will vanish behind the moon on Oct. 6—and early risers can catch the show. 🔭 October also brings prime views of Saturn and a meteor shower courtesy of Halley’s Comet. ✨ Our guide to what to see in the night sky—and when to look 👇 www.capitalweather.com/octobers-sky...

October’s sky puts on a show: The moon hides Jupiter, and Saturn shines
October’s longer nights offer a chance to watch the moon hide Jupiter, admire Saturn’s rings and catch meteors from Halley’s Comet.

Out of the last two days, the dog has shit in the basement… both days. Made him some chicken and rice with pumpkin, so everyone keep your fingers crossed b/c I think my husband is going to lose him mind if it happens again. (I’ll call the vet for advice in the morning)

Finally discovered The Residence on Netflix. Great show! Wondered why it was cancelled - DH said “apparently it was too expensive. Watching a few episodes makes must see that it must be. Do the next one somewhere cheaper and continue the series tho.

I haven’t been “ride a school bus age” since the Bronze Age but I am flummoxed how long it takes kids to get off the bus. These days, I would have to launch myself out a window to escape because them kids are sllooowww getting off the bus.

Didn’t know Native Americans are considered immigrants by NYT.

Had an English teacher who sold we 8th graders that he “wanted an air rifle for Christmas but his mom said he’d put an eye out.” That dingbat is of the same ilk. Never had an original thought and couldn’t have one to save their own life.

Trump ending the Medicare Part D subsidy program that millions of seniors to rely on is proof that he cares more about privatizing Medicare than he cares about seniors and families. Always money for war. Never money for health care. It's a grift and I'll be fighting back.

No lie. You should check the @cpsc.gov before you buy anything. Especially kids stuff, bed rail thingies for older adults and pool drain covers. They all seem rife with dangerous, faulty products and production!

Tomorrow's combination of dangerous heat and unhealthy air is a serious threat to New Yorkers’ health. If you can, stay somewhere cool with air conditioning, limit time outdoors, drink plenty of water, and check on your neighbors — especially older New Yorkers and anyone with a health condition.

I’m sorry to that person but today’s New York Times cites a study with *SIXTY* participants. C’mon. I could do better by asking the people I know on social media the same question. (Does their sense of taste and smell diminish as they age.)

The Sun is back. Keep kids safe if you're opening the windows to stay cool this week.
The Sun with a goofy face and big mouth with teeth right outside a living room window. The sun is singing, "Let the sunshine! Let the sunshine! The sun! Shine in!" A young girl is in the room. There is a couch too close to a window. The girl shouts, "Mom! The Sun is back and it's singing again!" The text reads: Keep kids safe while staying cool - prevent window falls. Move furniture kids can climb away from windows. Open double-hung windows from the top. Install window guards.
