AAA members could get a TripTik, which was a detailed, route-specific booklet mapping out your whole trip. It worked very well, too.

Ossoff has already said he's not running in 2028, and after the defeats of two women with far more qualifications than AOC it is madness to suggest she can do what a Senator and the sitting VP couldn't.

I just wasted a couple minutes watching the teaser for the new Harry Potter series. It's a near shot-by-shot remake, only longer and with a different cast - the costumes and sets are all but identical, and the script seems very generic. Not impressed.

For the record: "Anti-Zionist" in a profile is an automatic block. I do not support Netanyahu's actions in any way, but I don't support antisemitism either, and "anti-Zionist" is a huge dog whistle.

This user will not allow me to reply, but the idea that inner cities EVER were bicycle-friendly is absurd. It also ignores how small city apartments can be.

Someone on Facebook claimed that her father the English teacher gave her a copy of Shakespeare's plays when she was SEVEN and said "here is a good book, you should read it." The mere idea that kid just past Dick & Jane should read plays in what is basically another language is risible. Good Lord.

Several hundred at the No Kings rally in Easthampton, a couple thousand at one in Northampton. Only dissenter I saw was an angry bald white guy with a beard who was waving a TRUMP 2028 sign, and boy did he get mad when I rolled down the window and said 'HE'S TERM-LIMITED." Cult member much?
