@nytimes.com - I want an offer that lets me add four. Not three. Because that's how many people are in my family. I don't want it with chunks withheld - Sports, Puzzles, Cooking. I want it all. Price that out instead of offering to upgrade me to something that doesn't work for us.

We have more tomatoes than I can reliably give away. So I’m having a BLT or a plate of sliced tomatoes with balsamic every day for lunch.

Summer mode came a bit late this year, largely driven by the late end to school/exams and my boys' need to arrive with their broccoli tops unmussed.

Got a replacement starter for my tractor on Amazon last year. I already bit the big one. I took it off and saw the gear was mangled - I must not have noticed that it was plastic. So I go back to my Amazon purchase history and I see an updated product - "Now with upgraded *metal* gear."

I’m tired. I’ve been tired of listening to Christmas music since Thanksgiving. I’ve been tired of maxxed out credit since the pandemic. I’ve been tired of structured bullshit weekend activities since I became a parent. But most of all, I’m tired of knowing it’s all just going to get worse.

The rich want us to have a world free of working class art. The only art they want is what they can sell top-down to the masses and art that they can invest in as a speculative market. When the working class creates art they are not generating profit for the capital class and they hate this

There is no such thing as Cyber Monday anymore. The whole thing was predicated on people shopping online at work where the Internet access was speedy. These days, people have better connections at home than they do at work.

The recent uptick in spam across text, e-mail, social and voice might have something to do with the notion that the FTC, FCC and any other federal agencies that are supposed to be focused on curtailing it are spending time instead punishing the libs and dismantling themselves.

We're in the final week for this with about $2,500 to go. Please consider funding this. I've read an early copy and the characters are just >chef's kiss<. Not your typical superhero story, and the author is one of the best people on the planet.
