Gave up most social media for my own wellbeing. Let’s see how this goes.

So you’re saying to not say it Audible-y?

major faux pas to ever say an amazon brand out loud

One of the funniest things about Bsky is folks resorting themselves. It’s like the social media version of “No, I mean it.” And this isn’t an attempt to dunk on @faineg.bsky.social, they’re just the latest one I’ve seen do it.

Even Weather Beings need caffeination.

Gabiwagen experienced some software gremlins. Thank goodness we were blocks from home when it happened, and VW roadside assistance was quick to respond.

The Great news is that most of NE is ahead of the curve in offering ways to get Energy Efficiency upgrades for 30/50/100 percent off either up front 🤑 or as a tax rebate. www.energy.gov/save/home-up...

Back in 2021, I started wondering why the Northeastern US has so many window air conditioning units, and so few homes with central AC - which sent me down an interesting data-crunching and map-making path. The regional differences remain pretty stunning.

June 12 is Loving Day. It is the anniversary of when SCOTUS decided Loving v. Virginia on June 12, 1967.

On January 6, 1959 Mildred & Richard Loving were convicted of "cohabiting as man and wife, against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth" (miscegenation) and forced to leave the state of Virginia instead of spending a year in prison. Eventually Loving v. Virginia legalized interracial marriage.
