I’m pretty sure our local ShowBiz only ever used tokens, not quarters. (Maybe yours opened earlier?)

If you had your birthday party there, the birthday kid got to reach one hand into a sack of tokens and pull out as many as they could.

Oh, that’s an interesting observation. I keep thinking I must be missing something, and I’ll bet that’s exactly it. It happens all the time but few ever mention the timelines. So what’s most unusual with Bluesky isn’t the delay itself but that once they announced it, they made the timeline public.

I thought my giddiness over this would pass after a couple of days, but I'm still hootin' and hollerin' at the fact that Trump's cabinet -- a few members of which are worth like half a billion bucks or more -- are coming in to work every day wearing $145 dress shoes that don't fit.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

That Russia is helping Iran isn’t shocking. What’s shocking is that the Trump administration won’t condemn Russia. Where is the outrage? Imagine if Zelensky were helping Iran. Trump would go ballistic. But when it’s Putin the reaction is decorous silence.
