I don't mind that Amazon knows what products I like, that's the business they're in. But it thinks I have a dog! Doesn't it know that poop bags are bianimal?

I thought of that as well, but as a very wise friend of mine once said, the only meaning of the communication is the response it elicits. What he said stands, what it sounds like is horrifying, and analyzing his meaning usually results in a pile of shreds.

MSNBC was a nonbasic station on Verizon and others, so higher tier. I hated it then, I hate it now, because some of my friends don't get to share my joy in knowing the amazing people at MSNOW. But I must choose which corporate decisions make me wring my hands.

I thought about this too. But MSNOW no longer has the backing of a legacy media network and I don't begrudge them the creative energy required to keep bringing us information we can trust.

I spent many years freelancing back in the last century. It was possible, as long as I kept telling myself "Don't panic, you're good at what you do." Now I don't believe it would be viable at all. My sympathy to those of fiercely independent spirit.

TIL If you press the nurse call button at 3:00 you won't get a response because that's shift change.

To hear Nicolle Wallace and Pete Buttigieg on The Best People, I clicked and got the message "To play explicit episodes, sign in." They might want to change that to "specific episodes." Just a thought.

I've lost my games. Words With Friends isn't on Windows any more. Spider Solitaire/Mahjong from "spidr" now shows a danger screen and I can't get in. Other games require signups and signins and whatnot. (I'm not feeling techie, so don't know how to say it.) I want to play. I'm miffed.
