These Minnesota people — Frey, Walz, Sens Smith + Klobuchar, Keith Ellison, now Ventura — are not fooling around.
That was the one I had wondered about, I shop for tech so rarely I’d not heard of it
What are the most trustworthy online resellers of iPhones? I have never paid-off a phone over months, and not intending to now, but I have to upgrade my personal phone or apps aren’t supported.
What does it mean that when we did a midnight toast, that two wine glasses lost their stems? Nothing good I’m guessing.
Happy new year, jigsaw friends! I received a nice jigsaw felt portable mat for Christmas, but neither puzzle I received fits on it properly 🙄
On the upside the cat seems to be better, on the downside she’s joined us on bed for the great cleaning of butt. 😼
My advice for the new year would be what Regine says to Seth in More Than This: “Know yourself, and go in swinging.”
Don’t let anyone take your light. Not billionaires, not terrible presidents, not radicalized children’s authors.

Oh yeah me and my 15yo were looking at that the other day and felt the same. Grooooosss
My 15 year old had his four best mates over for a sleepover two nights ago. They chose to start karaoke at 11 pm… now we know how much sound carries within the house

Why is this not the only lead story in all our news media every day until the next election? (And every day after that?) This is killing our grandchildren to appease some farmers / corporations today.
"It is our view that a detailed framework for post-2050 reductions and removals is best developed closer to 2050." - wrong. We need action now to avoid disaster in 2050.

I’ve never liked a National Government or National led Coalition government but I can’t remember a time when they completely disregarded human rights and human decency, thanks to Act & NZ first. Every day a new horror. Every day dragged back decades
