Thank you,
@ejreports.bsky.social
for localizing this story. "'A private company’s not going to put a gauge on the Ogeechee River or on Lazaretto Creek,' Watson said, naming two smaller waterways on Georgia’s coast. For nearby residents, though, such gauges are critical in the event of a flood."

I do think it's incredibly unfair that Instagram for MONTHS relentlessly fed me ads about the Importance of Being Earnest with Ncuti Gatwa and Hugh Skinner showing in US theaters but then none of those theaters turned out to be near me

Last time the Eagles made the Super Bowl, my Amoroso's order arrived late and I was forced to serve roast pork and broccoli rabe on Publix rolls. This time, it has arrived early so I am forced to freeze the rolls. This is obviously a good omen, right?

my colleagues and I are tired of hearing in all-hands meetings that our business is doing well, and then in contract negotiations hearing that they can't afford to pay us salaries that keep pace with inflation. we've pledged to walk out if we need to. join us.

There's a point late every workday when I get up to get water or go to the bathroom or something but because it's late in the afternoon, my dog thinks we're signing off and going for a walk. He gets up and stretches and then when I sit back down he's SO sad. The worst.
