I asked a 2A fella on twitter how many kindergarteners had to die, and he said "all of them." How is civil discourse possible?
Oh my GOLLY I just got a contingent JOB OFFER. I am incredibly psyched- I've been housewifing for 5 months and with my husband gone so much I'm getting sick of my own company, and it's on a research vessel which HOLY SHIT- the super interesting conversations I'm about to have? And the pay is absolutely top notch for this department in this industry!!!
I hope everyone else gets a minor new year miracle!
#newyear #newjob #goodnewsSo John Falvey got fired from his role as Port Captain of
#AMHS today and I've yet to hear better news for the ferry system. He should have been fired after his direct role in letting the
#Malaspina go cold. Not to revel in another's misfortune, but this is a good day, if looooong overdue.
Prosecutors know 911 call analysis is junk science. But that hasn’t stopped some from promoting the methods and even deploying 911 call analysis in court to win convictions.

Tracing the fallacy of 911 call analysis through the justice system, from Quantico to the courtroom.
ProPublicaDoing research for our next Big Project and discovered 2023 is the year we'll become eligible for Mexican health insurance and I am SO EXCITED to not have to rely on the US's broken system anymore!!!!
Now I will say we're DINK, which makes a difference. And I live in AK so my clothes and makeup needs are limited. I'm not jewelry motivated. Buying stuff for the house makes sense at our age! And I get excited about it!
Unpopular opinion: I've been seeing a lot of jokes on other social media sites and I just want to say a vacuum is a GREAT gift. Our first X-mas together my husband got me a Roomba and dang it I love that thing. This year he's on a super challenging course of study- getting his pilotage if that means anything to anyone- and doesn't have the bandwidth and I got to pick out my own Christmas presents. I got myself a Hexclad to see what the fuss is about and a little hand held vac.
"Look!" said my husband. "I'm dressed like the '90's!" (Not pictured: Sub Pop hoodie.)
Fediverse I need your help: my husband is about a decade older than I am, and he INSISTS that you couldn't buy strawberry ice cream in the 80s, you could only buy neapolitan and eat the strawberry third.
I think either he's full of shit or his ma (god bless her memory) was full of shit for some reason. So any of you who grew up in the '80's, could you buy strawberry icecream?
All jokes aside, remember what Christmas is really about, people.
