@maintenancephase.bsky.social I just listened to the most recent Mel Robbins podcast episode with Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Two claims stood out for me: obesity is “obviously a major driver” of many different diseases and 80% of how long and well we live is lifestyle. We need a de-bunk bed!

Disappointed by Ace Hardware. No surprises with the rest of them.

@merriam-webster.com, I just learned that the dictionary definition of mutton means an adult sheep. I’ve only ever seen the word used to mean goat. Apparently that is consistent with current restaurant usage. Any chance you’ll update the definition soon?

Some good news!

Another unpaid ad for using @signal.org

I want to live in a society where rape is as abhorrent as cannibalism. #RapeAcademy Where women would feel safe to report rape. Where allegations would be investigated. Where cases would be prosecuted. Where those found guilty would receive punishing sentences. Then we can talk about #NotAllMen

#Anonymous you on this? What about #Iran?

It took about 70 minutes to get through TSA at SJU this afternoon. #tsawaittimes I’m mad that the R’s rejected the Senate deal.

At least 2 Senators have said "All Powell has to do is talk to Pirro and tell her he's going to resign and Trump will drop the charges." So here we have 2 sitting US Senators admitting the President is illegally extorting the chairman of The Fed. Admitting crimes out loud, on TV. WTAF.

@ologies.bsky.social can you please help me amplify my poem?

A Seussian nightmare. I do not like it!

A police officer just turned his high beams on to have us move over because we were only going 70 in a 65. At night. While it’s raining.

That tracks.

I really liked this book. I hope that the movie lives up to it.

Another win! Voters in California approved Proposition 50!

Imagine having this confidence 🤣

Can you imagine if Obama had done that?

@hoopladigital.bsky.social will borrows be extended because of the AWS outage? I have a few titles expiring soon and I can’t get into my account.

What if @pbs.org picked up @jimmykimmel.com?

I’ve now learned that Safari has a 500 tab limit. Yes, of course I have #ADHD.

Pretty rich coming from Mr. Chipocalypse.

Hear me out: how much money do you think Taylor Swift could raise for charity if she raffled off one invitation to her wedding? #americanroyalty #taylorswift

@ologies.bsky.social You’ve got perfect timing with the hurricane episodes as Erin is intensifying right now. It would make sense if the scientists developed an additional scale around suspected impact based on the storm surge, amount of expected rain, etc.

Are people driving more for travel this summer? I’m in Connecticut, and so far this week I’ve seen license plates from Hawaii, Kansas, Nevada and North Carolina. I feel like I should start playing the license plate game again from when I was a kid.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

This worked for me!

Noted. I wish there was a way to avoid Live Nation.

Happy Lose Your 401(k) Day! To those who celebrate, of course. #tariffs

What a great resource for our community.

I’m really looking forward to the primary between @aoc.bsky.social and Corey Booker. A primary where I would be happy if either one became the nominee. #presidential #2028

Trump is all set to announce he is raising taxes on everything. He was never going to work to decrease prices. Like everything else he has said; it was all a lie. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AwCrC7VPhT3u...

My Amazon boycott is going well. How about you?

If we go with third term presidencies, I insist that @barackobama.bsky.social challenge.

When your survey question is crafted by a committee: “Based on your interaction, how likely would you be to hire this person for customer service?” Press 1 for yes and 2 for no. This was after a call with college admissions.

@ologies.bsky.social Noooo. Framingham. Not Framington. 🤦‍♀️

This clip plays in my mind a lot these days. Basically any time I try to check the news.

Gah! Hulu just cut off the Oscar’s broadcast before the biggest award 🤦‍♀️

Many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

Costco, $COST, is raising pay for most of its hourly US workers to more than $30 an hour

When we talked about defund the police, I wasn’t expecting Trump to fire the entire FBI. Not defunded, though. Just trying to replace them with his own goon squad.

@madeleinepeyroux.bsky.social Welcome to the good place.

Right. Sure. Tell me, how many seniors don’t sign up for Medicare?

So weird 🤔

I’m not surprised we got to concentration camps. I am surprised at how quickly we got there. I hate it here and I’m not sure what actions to take to help stop this nightmare. And whether I need to take those actions from another country.

If you feel like you might want to hurt yourself, call a friend or your doctor.

Am I really an introvert, or do I just hate the anxious rumination after social events? #anxiety #introvert
