A lot of donuts and cookies, I think.

The social media pictures and video from the trip are pretty cool, if you want to see where she went and what parts of the trip were like.

Good news (no thanks to de Joy). Those are adorkable.

Also, in an unfortunate coincidence, a mail truck broke down in front of my place yesterday, so the need is real.

That’s basically the wave in the water planet scene from Interstellar. That’s terrifying.

The predecessor company had several significant innovative periods. Heck, I’d say that when Lee Iacocca took over and developed the minivan platform with the Dodge Caravan it was innovative. Maybe minivans aren’t sexy, but they were an untapped market and sold a lot of units for Chrysler and basically defined the vehicle category for many years.

And I have been very critical of Nashville DA Glenn Funk, including for his malfeasance in using person connections to get fake work to boost his own pension, but the formation of the Conviction Review Unit—once it was actually used, after an initially inactive period—deserves recognition and praise.

Thanks! Is there any better way of getting new mods? There are a couple I’m on that are somewhat orphaned, I’ve messaged the mods and no response.

That’s a good insight, car dealers are a huge part of the market, and they exert a lot of pressure against change. They also fund and support a lot of local Republican candidates, historically, a fact not entirely unrelated.

Love love Hark! A Vagrant. And a lot of the other comics are way funnier, especially the historical ones. The comics about “marauding women on bicycles” (like this one) crack me up. I still think the “strong female characters” series is one of the funniest things ever.

I wish Beaton would keep doing Hark! A Vagrant, but given what her family went through and her sister’s misdiagnosis and death from cancer, I understand why she finished it up. Her graphic novel/memoir, Ducks, was one of the best books I read last year.
