I'm keeping mine until they withdraw app support for it. $11.99/mo is a small price to pay

this song always reminds me of being a nurse in Texas to the point where I can nearly place faces to names

Former Fukushima worker devotes life to abandoned pets.

Not far from the Fukushima nuclear disaster site, former plant worker Toru Akama tends to dozens of pets abandoned after the catastrophe 15 years ago, work he sees as part of his quest for redemption

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.

Take the damn money and leave me alone.

my e-reader says I'm exactly halfway through my Nixonland read from ~2012, ensuring both that I forgot everything I've read but also still have the equivalent of a whole book left to read

For Americans struggling with high gas prices, remember that you can save money by taking little sips from the gas pump instead of big gulps

These are the smartest kids on earth. They're winners. This is the true Art of the Deal. They let Trump write books about business and he lost money on gambling. Is it wrong to open a lemonade stand next to a construction site? It is not. Supply and demand baby. Get. That. Paper.

this isn't just a MAGA thing, it's a cross-American one and *especially* a lot of people who came of age in politics or punditry in the 1990s. the idea that the news could happen to them - that the world might not be all going their way - is genuinely brain-breaking to a lot of them

Maybe it’s hubris, maybe I’m just not a bad person or someone who defends bad people, but I think I could survive a Chotiner interview.

you ever think how at any given point in time there could be a group of grad students studying a mysterious vat of satanic liquid beneath the halls of an ancient monastery and the liquid starts possessing the grad students and the rest try to stop the apocalypse and we wouldn’t know it was happening

Everything is bad so I'm going to drop a non-political hot take: I think the trend of opening marriages is bad and society needs to go back to one person having an affair, not liking it, and getting it out of their system instead of blowing up their lives. We should be more French.
