The one time in the last few years I answered a call from a number not in my contact list I instantly regretted it. It was the local police union begging for money.

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

No one I know ever answers their phone for unknown numbers or anyone not on their contacts list. I did once recently for the first time in years as I was expecting something new for business and I immediately regretted it as it was the local police union begging for donations.

Can someone explain why we are even concerned about polls? It doesn't seem like they have been terribly accurate since the whole transition away from landlines and people never answering their phones for fear of scams.

Horrifying. Libraries should be open for everyone, *especially* kids.

This is one of the most dystopian signs I've ever seen. Republicans are quickly turning this country into an unrecognizable freakshow.
