@ai6yr It was fun when it started. I’m kinda over it now. And I still have to do my own hair cause he’s afraid he’ll mess it up. (How can you mess up a #2 clip?!)

@ai6yr I just use a #2 everywhere for myself. Hubby gets a 3 or 4 with a lot of scissoring. I’ve been doing his since the pandemic since he can’t figure out how to do it himself. <cough>

Overdraft fees are essentially just extremely high interest loans and they trap people in a cycle of debt. So this is yet another move from the current President to help most Americans.

If Trump and the GOP win in November, there will be no new federal rules and regulations to protect you. And likely repeals of any you have now.

@michaelmagras What an incredible talent. Back when I was a music student, I had the pleasure of seeing a performance by him in upstate NY. He entered from the balcony, and had to zip line down to the stage. When I met my husband, I knew it was meant to be, because he listened to Schickele Mix, and I didn’t have to explain anything. @bkahn

Farewell to a talented composer and a funny guy. I loved listening to "Schickele Mix." If you haven't heard Peter Schickele's... sorry, I mean P.D.Q. Bach's "Music for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion," you should check it out. This is one of the funnier obituaries you will ever read. #Music #Comedy #PeterSchickele nytimes.com/2024/01/17/arts/mu

The #pharmacists were instructed this week that they cannot fill #misoprostol, #mifepristone or #methotrexate if the Rx is for fewer than 7 days and the diagnosis is #abortion. At that point, pharmacists have been instructed to tell the patient to get it from their doctor.

#Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves is calling a special session so the legislature can appropriate $350 million to bring an electric vehicle battery factory to the state. Getting electric vehicles built and carbon out of the atmosphere is no longer a partisan issue. mpbonline.org/blogs/news/gov-r

If you understand that Covid is airborne, and you can wear a mask, but you choose not to in crowded environments, at the supermarket, in the doctors etc… you’re behaving irresponsibly.

If you’re a healthcare worker and doing these things at work, you’re behaving dangerously irresponsibly.

If you know better, do better.

@mookie@troublemaker.social I always wondered how to do this properly!

@TonyStark You know they're racist when they'd rather put children and senior citizens to work rather than allow an immigrant desperate to work through the southern border.

Another Republican is retiring.

It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to hold onto that majority in the House, particularly once you factor in all those angry women who normally don't vote coming to the polls over the abortion issue.

Like the song says, anger is a gift.

“For too long, some banks have charged exorbitant overdraft fees — sometimes $30 or more — that often hit the most vulnerable Americans the hardest… Banks call it a service — I call it exploitation.” -President Biden on a new rule to limit bank overdraft fees.
