They even let you do your homework there! I’ve had study dates with classmates who are under 21 there and they have WiFi and had no problem with us setting up our laptops and math homework

I just watched the third episode of season one! Just beginning. We’ll have to go slow because unlike TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager, it does not seem conducive to a toddler falling asleep

It’s way too early for me to have solidified my opinions on the whole series but so far, I like the cast and the story line is catching my attention. It was definitely different than I expected and there are definitely some aspects that don’t feel like the federation I’ve come to love too

Very dark transition after our recent TOS watch through. That episode felt more like an episode of Stranger Things than the star treks I am used to. But it was good and I want more

Just watched the third episode of Discovery. It is not what I expected and if I were not a toddler parent, I probably would insist we stay up all night and inhale this whole season.

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

Due to the fireworks, New York City's air quality is the worst in the world tonight.

When AQI is low, it's a good idea to wear a mask to protect your health.

But this could soon be a crime, as one of the mask ban bills prohibits masks at "lawful assemblies."

Here's some new ones too: "Cannot use fireworks on or near state forest land, wildlands. Cannot shoot fireworks from a motor vehicle or throw into a vehicle. Cannot be discharged within 150 feet of a fireworks retail sales location"

Firework warning labels are something to behold. Do not light indoors or in a confined space. Do not light while holding. Do not aim at another person. Do not aim at any structures. Etc. Every warning is a story but unfortunately the people who need to hear them aren't reading warning labels

I don’t know how to explain to our nation’s top editorial boards that the Democratic Party is an actual organization with a lot of rules and history to it, not just a store that distributes team jerseys, and it has already selected delegates to its nominating convention.

If you wake the neighborhood kids up at midnight with your loud fireworks, you should have to provide vouchers for a free babysitter tomorrow or at the very least, give all the parents a box of joe on their doorstep in the morning

I’m starting to think our conductor made a big deal about it because he was a trombone player himself but it’s like a counter melody to the piccolos

Honestly, and I hate this, but I have noticed a stark difference with some providers if I bring a white man with me who can back up my claims. I have literally had ER docs completely change their tune and start believing me/running tests once my spouse arrived.

I can bring it up at the next transit advisory board meeting but I bet it has to do with the contract with the union. The customer service line is open so people can schedule future sunvans but even a Sunday schedule would be nice. Also could be a good question for the ABQ ride forward team!

Ok Albuquerque you get ten points for having the bus system be free but negative a hundred points for having it not run on a holiday in the middle of the week.

Yup. Lots of people pointing out obviously this would be weaponized against LGBTQ folks. But also it just fundamentally bristles with a hostility towards privacy and freedom that runs through the entire project.
