Just imagine what ~$400B invested into our own economy and people over the last 100 days could have done.
Another funky new gem. An unlikely but pretty cool trio of a Fisherman, half-Beatle, and fresh Air royalty.
One of #Rush ‘s coolest albums and a bit of a sleeper. This is shortly after their transition from synth rock in the 80s and finding that new rock groove and grit. The true Professor has such power and dynamics while Geddy getting funky on the bottom end.

I think the young people call it ‘vibe coding’ while listening to some under appreciated 90s rock. @remhq.bsky.social supplying the chill vibes to keep my artistic side engaged.

To wrap up the night with some classic and calming poetic #BillyJoel.
Spinning vinyl after a few months hiatus. Appreciating the talent of the octopus #DannyCarey and @toolmusic.bsky.social for decades of insanely great music.

"the passage of [recreational marijuana laws] led to an increase in grocery store trips that involved 'junk food,'... particularly...ice cream, chips, and candy....also led to a decrease in exercise, and suggestive evidence of more time at home." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

AIs today: "You’re correct to expect that if I don’t know with certainty, I should say “I don’t know”, not speculate or cite files that don’t actually contain the license. In this thread, I over-asserted on a few occasions instead of stopping at “unverified,”..." Now to see if future prompts work.
when I was first exploring the urgent care market, I made a heat map.
