Digital displays and controls in autos are dangerous.
Regulators should demand a return to physical controls / switches / knobs etc.

The lone survivor of our neighborhood deer! Tulip of unknown variety, not planted by me. Have lived here for 15 years, and it's the first time it bloomed. 🌱 #bloomscrolling

Happy Birthday!
I'm seeing loads of posts from #KidLit authors (including me) willing to virtual visit with MN classes who are on lockdown or doing virtual school right now or just in need of something exciting, fun, or kind in their day.

Intrigued....never heard of Dragon Puncher! I'm going to take your word for it. Just ordered!
Illustrated book cover reading “I’M BUSY” in large red letters. A pink flamingo stands on the letter B, a small potato sits above the letter M, and a girl with pigtails struggles to carry a tall stack of papers and notebooks as loose pages scatter around her.
Excited about the Feb.24 launch of I'M BUSY, written by @michaelianblack.bsky.social
& illustrated by yours truly (Simon & Schuster BFYR), part of our I'M series about kids' emotions. Available for pre-order!
Thanks Kirkus for nice review: www.simonandschuster.com/books/Im-Bus... #KidLit #ImBusy
Small poinsettia plant with a single bloom on one branch. Another couple of blooms forming on two other branches. Positioned next to south facing window.
I was gifted this small poinsettia 3 years ago and have been keeping it as a houseplant. Repotted it once last summer, but otherwise, I haven't fertilized or anything. For the first time, it is reblooming! 🌱 🪴

But it's too late. Under Bari Weiss, CBS is state run media desperately cosplaying as legitimate journalism.
