A Dutch supermarket chain introduced slow checkouts for people who enjoy chatting, helping many people, especially the elderly, deal with loneliness.
The move has proven so successful that they installed the slow checkouts in 200 stores.

Psst Biden administration. Florida should only have room for one coup architect at most.

It's a culture shock when they haven't been groomed.

Guns don’t kill people. First graders kill people.

See how dumb that sounds?

[Jesse D. Jenkins @JesseJenkins]

This sounds just like the Texas deep freeze in February 2021 and the failures of fossil power plants in Ercot. These allegedly "firm" resources (gas, coal) proved to not be there when we needed them during winter cold snaps. That's unacceptable & dangerous.

periodic reminder that Fahrenheit 451 isn't about government censorship but a society so inundated with entertainment and technology that it's discarded the humanities voluntarily, in the process becoming cruel, bigoted and inhuman.

The 12 Republican-led states that refused to expand Medicaid accounted for 74% of all rural hospital closures between 2010 and 2021, an American Hospital Association report found last year.

@tahj67 @BikeHouston @houparksboard @SylvesterTurner It’s very simple. Slow down.

[Philip Bump @pbump]

I, for one, am stunned to learn that the evidence-free claims of surging violent crime that powered Fox News’s coverage from late September until 11 pm on Nov. 8 were largely unfounded. https://t.co/oDy8iHZu3x

To my Gen X peeps: How many of you guys saw that Challenger explosion in class, in real time?

[Bluecentric.bsky.social @bluecentric]

My flight is overbooked and they lady offered $700 for anyone who volunteered to fly out tomorrow.

So I yelled “it’s a scam - legally they owe you $1500 or 4x your ticket whichever is lowest!”

So EVERYONE waited till she said $1500 to stand up. Why am I like this?😂

My son, who is a software engineer, just told me that people who know software just had their Elon Musk realization.
