@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social Post seems to "discontinue" Bran Flakes every so often. When they disappeared in 2020, I contacted Post. They said something to the effect of they screwed up their manufacturing and distribution system, and had none to sell. They disappeared again this year.

@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social The post about Pepperidge Farm cookies reminded me of their breadsticks. They used to make crunchy, stubby (~2" long) breadsticks. As I recall, they had wheat, pumpernickel... I liked the wheat ones with sesame seeds - dipped into various Heluva Good dips.

There's something called "pump and dump" in which a corporate executive does things like accounting fraud to temporarily boost a stock price, He exercises his options before the fraud is undone and makes a pile of money. Chainsaw Al Dunlap became famous for it. But, I've noticed some...

Seems to me odd that Bluesky pushes sports "news", given that it functions as a distraction from things that really matter. contraryperspective.com/2013/07/30/t...

@altusps.bsky.social USPS claims that the reason packages going in circles is that labels are damaged. A huge majority of packages that I receive have gone in circles. All of them look pristine when they arrive. Seems like DeJoy (or whoever is replacing him) is lying.

When I was a kid, I saw a joke (of sorts): "People with bad coughs don't go to doctors; they go to movie theaters." It seems that people who have no clue how the universe works go to Facebook and post nonsense. So far, Bluesky has been mostly free of posts by morons and ignoramuses.

Time to bone up on this subject? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurembe...
