A friend bought Amtrak tickets to Chicago. She called Amtrak to either confirm or ask a question. Amtrak had no record of those tickets. Scammers are setting up fake sites pretending to be Amtrak. Some can even redirect a call to the correct number so it goes to them. Amtrak was well aware of this and she will get a refund.

Little Miss Attitude has perfected the side eye. It certainly comes in handy with the news of the day.

I swear to god, Kennedy is going to kill people with his wackamole theories. One thing he vows to do is make raw milk more widely available. This causes a burden for stores who have to reconfigure layouts. Plus, the environmental implications are horrible because no one except Q Anon idiots are going to drink this shit. Dumping unpasteurized milk down drains introduces disease into our water supply, period.

Good morning ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒž CoSoNauts! I have a doctor appointment in an hour. Just a check up. I don't normally schedule appointments this early. Hope you're all hanging in there.

Ringo Starr has a new song out called Thankful. Alison Krauss is also on it, but her voice is in the background through most of it. It's not a "brilliant" song by any means, but it's sweet and he's 84 and doesn't sound like it at all.

Good night everyone. I will now contemplate my speed spinning on earth's axis, rotating around the sun, the sun spinning around the center of the Milky Way, and the galaxy speeding away from everything else. Again, good night.

Just watched an old Veritasium video about how gravity is an illusion, that the ground we walk on is actually pushing us up, etc. If gravity isn't a force, what is the explanation for a launching astronaut being "pushed" into his seat by G "force"? Shouldn't he feel like he's stationary?

Was on the local hospital's website. They have a banner stating the current ER wait time. It said negative one minute. I'm not quite sure how that works. Is time travel (albeit brief) involved?

And definitely consider throwing some support behind this site. If you believe in what it provides and want it to continue, help it keep going.

The inauguration is about a week before my birthday. Sucky present.

I don't mind the word gift as a verb. Mainly because it's short. What I hate is when they turn a noun into a verb in a way that makes it longer than the word it's replacing. e.g. incentivized instead of encouraged.
