'Why are millennials all afraid of answering the phone or making phone calls?'

Probably because around 95-98% - and I'm not even hyperbolizing that figure - of all phone calls I have ever received in my life have been increasingly inventive robocallers trying to sell me something or trick me into thinking I owe somebody money, so my default response to a ringing phone is not 'ooh, someone wants to talk!' but 'oh good, another scam.'

Inflation is down to 2.97% but prices are still higher than they should be.

As we've screamed all along—the leading driver of high prices was not inflation, but corporate price gouging. And corporations fund politicians to prevent accountability. That is the problem we face. (Also one reason I refuse corporate money in my run for US Congress).

Ukrainian Fencer Olha Kharlan has had an eventful couple of days. Disqualified from the World Championships, Automatic qualification for the Olympics, and now her own Barbie. #StandWithUkraine

It cost this Motor Trend journalist $821 to charge this EV for a year (nearly 12,000 miles). I guess I’m not doing so bad comparatively given that I only fill up my gas tank less than once per month (~$70) working from home 3 says per week (70x12mo = $840/yr). It would likely cost me about $500 in electricity at their presumed rates. I think the better solution than going electric is just driving less, if possible. https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-vw-id4-yearlong-review-update-3-cost-to-run/

@SrRochardBunson 2 months into adopting, our new dog Buster is excellent.

Some mornings, things seem... different. Darker. Nothing seems right. You feel constricted by the world. Then, you realize your pants are stuck in your sock.

It was alive when you bought it.

The Astoria Grande cruise ship with Russian tourists on board departed from the Georgian city of Batumi two days ahead of schedule under pressure from local protesters.

Residents of Batumi gathered near the liner and chanted "Russian ship, go f**k yourself" and "Abkhazia is Georgia", and also brought photos depicting Abkhazia and the events of the August war.

I took this photo before the start of the pandemic while riding on the top floor of a double-decker bus over the Bay Bridge to my office in San Francisco and I seriously feel like it captures my life in one picture.

Like, I always know where I am, but I can’t see where I’m going.
