I did not know that many states have a program that lets seniors and/or disabled people defer paying their property taxes until the property is sold. This was a lifesaver for some people I know. Check your own state. Here's California's

Graphic shows not much information about California's property tax postponement program and suggests visiting ptp.sco.ca.gov or calling 800-952-5661 to learn more

Sunny, Suni, what's the difference. This has been up for two days and has not been corrected. Does ABC News have any editors left? abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Text mistakes Suni Muslims and instead declares them to be "sunny". It reads: "Leo made the appeal during a Mass on Saturday in Istanbul for Turkey’s tiny Catholic community, which numbers around 33,000 in a country of 85 million, mostly Sunny Muslims"

A Redditor is mildly freaking out because a friend noticed the air fryer looks like a grinning face. Now the owner can't unsee it and finds it unsettling @pareidolia.bsky.social www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfu...

Photo of a white air fryer on a wooden table. The placement of the controls and handle makes it look like the head of a plastic robot doing its best to please humans

Let's use AI for research, shall we? Oh look, the actress Sarah Palmer who portrays #Gwengoolie on #Svengoolie also played roles that I could have sworn were played by Grace Zabriskie #TwinPeaks @richkoz.bsky.social

This Raymond Chandler quote keeps popping up in my thoughts #fires #SantaMonica #noir #SantaAnas

Quote from Raymond Chandler:
"There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge."

It's Guy Fawkes Day. Why, is there something else going on today? /s

An artist's illustration of what Guy Fawkes might have looked like. There's a silhouette of the Houses of Parliament behind him, reminding us that he plotted to blow up that building.
