The behind the scenes of thise packages getting delivered from amazon is so dysfunctional, I am constantly surprised at just how awful it is.

I don't lnow why, but I expected better from Duckworth. My fault

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

We want everyone to have a good life with safe and easy access to watching and/or playing cricket. When we take over the United Nations or whatever body succeeds it, this will become principle number one and codified into international law.

1/2 Today's ride...Mount Blue Sky. Highest Paved road in western hemisphere. Not my first time riding up, but first time on thr CF Moto Ibex 450, and first time the wind ever took down my bike. All well, though

Amazon penalizing flex drivers when packages come from the warehouse empty, and when apartment buildings can't be accessed. Absolutely bullshit.

Switzerland trail Colorado! First off road (on purpose).I didn't do quite all of it but did the main part. Then down to Nederland for lots of coffee and water (and a walk). Such a fun morning! Getting out early, beats the traffic and the sun!!

1/2 Over 200 miles today on the new bike. Therapy in Rocky Mountain National Park. Absolutely gorgeous slow ride, that included lots of elk and chill AF marmot who beckoned me to turn around and capture the vibe.

I'll add that many of these unsafe streets may be related to how shitty people choose to drive- which isn't directly amazons fault...and I do hate having to give them any credit or releif.

Companies have long dodged their obligations to workers by using complicated layers of contracting. The result: lower wages, worse working conditions, and stifled voices. The Delivery Protection Act would address a systemic problem that has been perpetuated by one of the US’s largest employers.

Hitting that age where I need to evaluate and update my workout and suppliments. 99% of info out there is for men. Ffs, we ALL get old.

Just a sidenote for all the folks who consider themselves allies out there, the MI Senate race is going to unleash a tidal wave of Islamophobia (more than we've already seen). So be ready to fight back everywhere you see it (it will be everywhere not just in MI).

I don't think we're alarmed enough re capitalist knowledge crisis as journalists are laid off en masse, publishing houses bought-up by private equity, newspapers & social media owned by billionaires that make no conceit of being fair, no $ for art for decades. Institutions destroyed; tools denied.

Must feel so good for text after you hit ctrl-x, floating in liminal space, before ctrl-v thrusts it back onto the desolate page

I don't use amazon, but needed someone only found and logged in after a very long time Shocker that the delivery was shite, but the claim that Amazon wants to be customer-centric just seems like statire it's so unreal.

Meeting about the new student loan rules. There is no quiet part about wanting people in the US to not be educated. So fucking depressing.

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

1/2 The kid got her first tattoo. She'd wanted one for a long time, but wanted to be sure about the design. With the passing of her ggparents she went with flowers of their birth months and a hummingbird, which the gma loved. The artist did a phenomenal job with my daughter's original design.

2/2 the artist isn't on bluesky, but for those still on insta I highly recommend checking her out. The shop is wildchildtattoo_207

$400m and it works as well as a southwest flight to boca.

President Trump flew partway home from a NATO summit on an old Air Force One plane instead of the new Qatari-gifted plane, a surprise swap that came as the U.S. and Iran began trading strikes again. n.pr/3SRKdYe
