I knocked doors for Harris. I remember the guy who looked like he was in his sixties who said, "Inflation is too high. I'm voting for Trump so I can afford to retire."
I sure he's enjoying the tariffs and gas prices!

Go see "Eureka Day"! I laughed SO HARD!
Especially if you've ever served on a board (I know that's a bit niche?).

Unwrapped cough drops in a plastic bag. The bag is on an opened theatre program.
How I bring cough drops to the theater.

The Audible App Help and Support chat window. I have typed: Is there a way to block promotions for JK Rowling? Her audiobook shows up every time I open the app, and I hate seeing her name. She's a transphobic bigot.
Customer Service: Hello and I hope you're having a good day Janet. I understand that you would like to block certain works from J. K. Rowling. Is that right?

The TERF book comes up constantly in Audible, and I wince every time and swipe away.
I have NEVER bought one of her books on any platform! This isnβt an algorithm, theyβre just pushing it at everyone. Iβm longing for a feature to block an author!
