So women are more likely to trust men? Good, I guess...

The @nytimes.com and @pbsnews.org needed a ĥousebroken conservative, and now, alas, so does @theatlantic.com. There are so few that Brooks just goes on and on.

I did once witness a recently arrived co-worker in the act of ordering pastrami on white bread. I'm sure he's assimilated by now.

My last phone was in working order but certain apps, including the @nytimes.com and my bank, would no longer update. Same with my last laptop, but it couldn't handle Windows 11, and 10 was coming to its expiration date. Luckily, no one can arbitrarily take my 1999 Honda Accord out of service.

Dario and his fellow CEOs could make the decision (isn't that what CEOs do?) TODAY to slow down.

From the incomparable @justinwolfers.bsky.social: "Does the president really think that a Republican House and Senate would be so disastrous that it necessitates an immediate large stimulus?"

Ex-wives are valuable to investigations. One led to the arrest of the hit-and-run driver who injured my husband: "Yes, Detective, he owns that kind of truck..." If you commit crimes, better be nice to your spouse.

My husband was struck by a car and sustained a traumatic brain injury (thankfully, he's well now). His hospital stay was one month, of which two weeks were in the rehab unit. He was 69 at the time. Mitch's length of hospitalization? I agree that it does not make much sense.

The price of pet food has skyrocketed since the pandemic, worse inflation than human food. Mamdani's program will help families keep their four-legged companions and take the pressure off shelters.

One of my pet peeves - events already passed, not to mention weather posts from days ago. Yo would think this "AI" thing could do something about it.

The signers pledged to each other their lives, fortunes and sacred honor. The first two were at extreme risk, as they were committing treason against the crown. Independence was far from a sure thing.

$8,027,347.68. That's what AI billionaires have spent to beat one NY assemblymember—Alex Bores, who wrote the toughest AI safety law in the country. It's backfiring. Early voting is open NOW, the primary is Tuesday, June 23. If you're in NY-12, show up. youtube.com/shorts/ozKqw...

You would think that Meta could somehow avoid posting two-day-old weather forecasts and promos for past events in your feed, but you would be disappointed.
