Do you think postal carriers work for free? Salaries, vehicle maintenance, keeping the lights on, etc, these are all real expenses.

The key difference is the USPS is self-funded, so it does need to cover costs and maintain a reserve to cover downturns, which it could do by expanding into basic banking services, like check cashing, if DeJoy was not tasked with grinding the service down.

Mads Mikkelsen played Kaecilius in Doctor Strange. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean bringing him in to play the MCU version of Doctor Doom would be two roles. Kaecilius emerging from the Dark Dimension as the new Doom could’ve been interesting. Mister Doom? No, Doctor Doom. Normal name, not strange at all.

“Investigators believed the couple avoided seeking medical attention to prevent law enforcement from coming to their home.” — Which was the actual problem, not the smoothies.

GWB is getting a boost from Liz Cheney and the other never-Trumpers because people buy into “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” mentality literally. They’re allies against a common foe, but they’re still vile, and the person who can remind us of that is Tim Walz

Walz took students to a campaign rally for then-President George W. Bush and watched as they were questioned by security because one had a John Kerry sticker on their wallet. After that, Walz volunteered for Kerry, retired from the National Guard after 24 years when Bush launched his illegal war, and beat the GOP incumbent for his seat. This one story told me everything I needed to know about Walz’s political origin and path, and reminds me that GWB deserves no fond nostalgia.

For my first post, I’m sharing this utility shortcut that lets me build shortcuts that can run on all my Apple devices but vibrate only when run on iPhone. I find it most useful for my HomeKit shortcuts. It also has an option for multiple vibrations.
