The adage "a million is a statistic, one is a story" is in play here. So many are focused on that one (and a different "one" for each person), they are missing the statistics.
It's the Elevator Button situation: folks know it doesn't call the elevator faster but we still hit the button. Repeatedly.

The only positive thing I have to say about this execrable event is: at least there's a limit of the displays used. Now all we need is a person with a bag to stand in front of them.

You always find such panoramic and photogenic sun displays.
Have a good flight home.

Yes. I experienced it briefly, when I was pulled over three times while walking home from work. All because of my jacket. I "looked like" the suspect who robbed someplace.
My 15 minutes does not compare to someone else's /lifetime/ of living this nightmare. But I get it.

It depends on how close to the life boats we are. And what's swimming in the water around the ship. More danger in the water? Yeah, I need that chuckle.

It's so sad watching besties fall out. So. Sad.

Hmm. All I've been seeing is grilling cookbooks and DIY books. (Feeling the same way about them currently. not a good thing for me right now.)

I haven't gotten rid of any of (how to phrase it) my books by that vile one, but I haven't read them again, either.
Know someone who started picking up one of them, and had to educate them on what he was. Not sure if they finished the book or not.

I remember. Went to opening night with the rest of the crew from the store. (Manager got to write it off since we had licensed merch.)
And now I feel olde, being older than a fossil's social media account.

I mean, SUE has been quite vocal about it. For someone without vocal chords, that is.

And is the rest of the blurb about Dickens beating the crap out of the perp?

My uncle was a big amateur shutterbug. Seeing these photos makes me wish I spent a bit more time learning from him.

For someone who has a media orbit, you'd think his lackeys would be aware of his own time on the tube talking about hurricane season. Sharpies and all.

Donated, but enough about me.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Yup.
I spent the weekend chasing mine around the house to get her into the carrier.
It healed up on its own by spite.
(At least she's talking to me again.)

Sadly, the V tie-in is in poor taste now.

When this came out all I could think of was that scene out of Armageddon.

I have the books somewhere. I'm in no hurry to find them because of how toxic she's turned them.
A shame that happened, as that was something I was trying to build a small craft business around. I can still go generic themes adjacent to it, but I'm worried about the taint and blowback.

I'd argue pudding instead of currency, but it's not a large discrepancy.

Loved their hit " I never Cry".

It's been a while since I looked it up, but one was to denote a color of a physical item, and one was more of an action description. And both could apply to physical items as well as transitory situations.
(I use only one spelling, but I can make a case for using -ay for active situations.)

My first clue that Grammarly wasn't the infallible service it was billed as was when it rejected my spelling of "grey." (And then I discovered the rabbit hole of when to use which "grey/gray," and I have been terrified ever since.)

My parents have been regaling me with the tales of their new sump pump (and it's attendant growing pains), and I can whole-heartedly endorse having professionals handle that.
(It's amusing because the house never needed it before, and the response has been, "well, when things get old...")
