Not a shock -- he has been so veey ill for so very long -- but a sadness nonetheless. May Akebono's memory be for a blessing. (The old heads of the Web are encouraged to raise a glass -- IYKYK.) #sumo

Oh my gosh, I hadn't heard about this. My thoughts are with all affected.

Not to be one of those crazy plant ladies, but I would like to find the person who opened this flytrap's sale container and shoved a grape into its "mouth." I wish to return the favor. #PlantsOfCoSo

Maybe it still smells like teen spirit, but these days it just tastes like ashes.
This, this, so *very* this. I am headed for an #eclipse viewing zone on 8 April, and now I am lowkey grieving that I won't be present for what sounds like a gorgeous one in 2079. Please do attend next month's if you can. Totality is like nothing else you've experienced.

The Publicly-Traded Presidential Candidate
Trump's about to pull off biggest grift of his life, & MSM failing to report the danger.
"The con involves his floundering Truth Social, whose shares go public next week. The “SPAC” (short for “special purpose acquisition company”), he's using to circumvent normal IPO process, voted to merge w/Trump Media & Technology Grp, begins publicly trading under symbol “DJT.”

HEADS UP!
There's a new CREDIT CARD SCAM floating around. I just got a text, supposedly from my credit card issuer, asking if I'd just attempted a $683 purchase at a Target SuperStore. There was no call back phone number in the text. I called my issuer directly and was informed that it's the fraud du jour. The rep I was speaking to had been fielding calls about it all day. Some for purchases from SAM'S, others from TARGET.
BEWARE!

TIL there exists an all-male drag ballet troupe (Les Ballets Trockadero). And that, CoSonauts, is why Classic Arts Network is the absolute best thing on Roku.
TFW you notice one of your plants is biting itself... and screaming. Definitely a metaphor for 2024 so far.
This is astonishing. Congratulations, stalwarts of Voyager I -- this is frankly unexpected and entirely wonderful.
