The boomer that lives in my house wants to come out of his room every morning and do a "did you see" about all the terrible shit in the world and I'm like please, PLEASE, not right now. Wants to tell me that someone was on "a iPod" (podcast) saying some crazy shit and "Can you believe..."

I like turtles (tortoises too). More giant tortoises than people in the Seychelles www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On a business trip in North Carolina. Of the 5 restaurants we have eaten at, how many would you guess have at least one type of chair that is horrible for a fat person to sit in? If your guess is less than 5 you are wrong.

Last night I determined that I have about 640 unique bottles of nail polish. That's too many.

A coworker sent out a survey for our team to complete prior to an upcoming team meeting. I just listened to @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode on the Personality Colors test and so I am primed to be mad about it.

Yesterday I got a political survey with some questions about data centers. This statement was provided regarding benefits in other areas. Can anyone verify the truth of this?
States that have had many more data centers longer than Texas are benefiting greatly from them. One area had their property tax cut 40% because data centers covered the difference. Another rural area quadrupled local tax revenue for schools and hospitals,  attracted new employers,  and received millions in grants for local schools and nonprofits. A third area saw their power rates decrease because the data center invested in grid upgrades.  Knowing this,  do you support our oppose data centers in Texas?

At my last overseas work trip in 2019, my team found out I like to sing and bullied me into singing karaoke at a German bar. So I sang 9 to 5. My boss took a video and showed it to her boss, and he said "I think that's the happiest I've ever seen Sarah."

I am pretty sure that a guy I was friends with in high school (fellow choir and theatre dork) is the Ft Hood doctor accused by 80+ women of sexual assault while under his care. It's really upsetting.

Record hot Fourth! With a high so far of at least 100, today ties for DC’s hottest July 4th in over 150 years of record keeping, matching the high of 100 degrees in 1919. Could break the record in next couple hours.

“The exclusion is not based on individualized findings of unlawful conduct by any specific school, but rather on categorical presumptions that Islamic schools are suspect and potentially linked to terrorism by virtue of their religious identity and community associations.”

The nascent "freedom accounts" program is, predictably, burdened by Republicans’ insistence on religious discrimination—and likely set to benefit those already outside the public school system.

Why does the media continue to use the word "Millennial" as code for "young person"? That's not what it means. It's literally in the name. A Millennial is someone at least a thousand years old.
