Why is the rum gone? why is the rum always gone?

Is there any real reason that taxpayers should fund PBS?

EXCLUSIVE: PBS stations receiving millions in federal funding partnered with a Chinese foreign agent on a pro-Beijing documentary airing this month.

Folks, I cannot describe how important it is that you read this r/relationships post. It's an absolute Hall of Famer.

Alright, this will fuck you up —

These are all fine. Really… German cooling towers… Sure. Whatever.

But when it comes to mundane yet vaguely intimidating videos of collapsy-go-boom-boom, I prefer the tumbling grain silos of the great American breadbasket, especially with the the music heard between 4:30 - 6:30.

Lovely melody, just lovely. I'd pay twenty big ones for a clean copy.

First it was Xi's disease. Then murder hornets. Hickups in the food chain. 2020, I'm so over...you're not done yet? ah, come on, man!

Our sun has gone into lockdown, which could cause freezing weather, earthquakes and famine, scientists say.

The sun is currently in a period of “solar minimum,” meaning activity on its surface has fallen dramatically.

Experts believe we are about to enter the deepest period of sunshine “recession” ever recorded as sunspots have virtually disappeared.

I did both. I heard both. I choose something else, and got gibberish. I think I'm losing my mind.

Someone on NextDoor today posted, "Does any want have moving boxes?" When I posted a reply asking for a clarification of whether she was offering or requesting moving boxes ("want or have"), I was greeted with puzzlement that I didn't understand her question.

I'm pretty sure she meant, "Does anyone have," but tried to spell it phonetically and spell check did the best it could.

We don't teach spelling (or grammar or punctuation) any more. Our society's written communication is devolving to that of a third grader.

I finally gave up and replied that I have some boxes and she's welcome to them.

Apropos of nothing in particular:

Early this month the nation's renewable energy production outpaced coal-fired energy for the first time. Every day, forty days straight.

Here's a delightful childhood memory.

Even if she came to pick them up, she'd be offended to lose the 0.03 calories of energy, burned over ten gentle seconds, required to comprehend why you had to ask.

Huh. A locked down economy is suddenly a problem? #LearnToCutHair ?

Since the last recession, ~30,000 journalism jobs vanished. Journalists laid off today will likely be unemployed for months and likely, by necessity, have to find employment in other fields. A lay-off now would effectively end a career in journalism. We have to save jobs.

I might say "learn to mine coal" but that seems to be in as much trouble.

Blinding.
