Canceled our annual Disney+ a while back (long before the Kimmel Kerfuffle) but was told service wouldn't officially stop until Nov. 19. Just got this email and had to double-check that cancellation was still on track (it is), but a $30 price hike for loyal annual subscribers seems a bit … goofy.

Same, but tbh I’ve tried with BS, and my user experience here has flat-out sucked compared to The Other Place, esp for general news and (in the fun dept!) NBA Finals content/commentary. Still hoping BS can get there but it has a long way to go.

Yammer's ghost would like a word.

Please talk to Zach for this, esp. if your theories go beyond my assumptions (some combo of high food/retail leases & captive audience pricing?).

“Scrumtrulescent,” hands-down.

Loved the shout-out from Mirror Indy's Amanda Kingsbury in today's newsletter for the time I anthropomorphized a breaded tenderloin to explain how a bill becomes law in Indiana.

Cat for scale is ALWAYS a valid comparison. :)

This morning I added a pat of butter to the pastry (blank) side of a frosted cherry Pop-Tart, and I’ve been thinking about that all day.

My workplace coffee chats typically stuck to football scores and random office gossip — maybe *occasionally* touching on stuff like the Yellowstone super volcano or the large hadron collider. This story would require more coffee!

Mesmerizing presentation for an absolutely nightmarish and slow-moving ecological disaster.

Foolishly checked ‘Art’ and ‘Space’ as areas of interest when I signed up and have been playing a steady game of block/Whac-A-Mole with accounts sharing AI nonsense. But I feel much more hopeful of that stuff getting policed properly here than other places.

Hey, gang! New guy here looking for an ice-breaker post, so here goes: searching for government agencies here, like ‘FEMA’ or ‘NOAA’ or ‘NWS,’ turns up zilch, but they’re still active on the old site. Will these kinds of critical agencies ever find a foothold here when the era of DOGE begins?
