Apparently @cvspharmacy will not give a 2nd COVID booster to someone who had a 3rd “immunocompromised” shot because “they don’t have approval to give more than 4 shots”, despite the fact that the CDC has recommended the booster FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE IMMMUNOCOMPROMISED. Unbelievable.

Worst customer service ever @OptimumHelp Rec’d 1 mo free HBOMax plus $100 Visa card. Now being told I have to pay for 2 more months of HBO Max to receive Visa card. Not documented anywhere. Worse, they keep transferring me around to random depts and now they “disconnected” me.

It's that time again! Fuzz-headed fledglings are hopping around learning to be birds in the world. Many can't fly yet, but that's normal. Admire their style, but otherwise let them be. Here are a few common fledglings you might encounter in NYC and beyond.

@WendiAarons My two favorites are Aretha/Carole King and Snoop Dogg singing to Herbie Hancock. Also the entire Shirley Maclaine segment. And the Wilson sisters singing Stairway to Heaven. And Carlos Santana! I love the ones where the recipient is really into it.

@FelicityDisco Kinsey Millhone won mine, but it was HARD. Especially because I found out about this from a Facebook post by Louise Penny and when it came down to Kinsey vs Armand Gamache I almost quit the whole thing rather than choose.

A person’s right to cast their ballot is the foundation of our democracy.

Georgia HB 531 would limit trustworthy, safe & equal access to voting by restricting early voting & eliminating provisional ballots. That’s why Salesforce opposes HB 531 as it stands. #gapol 🗳️

@Alex_Parker You are not alone! My friend and I just had this conversation this morning. My version of this is that I’m at a huge dinner party where nobody is wearing a mask and halfway through I realize it and freak out.

This is Sophie, she belongs to longtime reader Crystal. During a procedure Sophie's colon ruptured, requiring emergency surgery. Like so many right now, Crystal has been furloughed. The GoFundMe link is: https://t.co/FpIDtWZ4tZ - every little bit helps. Thank you! ❤️

This is Ace. He attempted stairs today. Did very well but still feels like there’s room for improvement. 13/10 (IG: ace__adventures)

I saw this on FB and it's the best food pantry donation list I've ever seen. Usually posts like this either end up shaming the donor for what they do or don't give, or shaming the receiver for what they do or don't choose to eat.

As a former pantry employee, I endorse!

[Jean Marie @LIbeachreader]

@Alex_Parker I tried. I’ve never even had a Nanaimo bar and I voted for them anyway. This was a bright spot on Twitter the past few days though, so thanks!!

At least 25 percent of fatal police encounters involve a person with mental illness, and individuals with untreated mental illness are 16 times more likely to be killed during an encounter with police. https://t.co/1VwWME4gt5

Georgia is for all the marbles. We CAN win both seats, and when we do, McConnell’s reign is over.

Your donation will be split between Warnock, Ossoff and Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight.

GOP Super PACs have already spent millions. Let’s raise $250K today.

@JillMansell This is a good winter project. I binged 14 1/2 seasons last winter to catch up and watch the end of Season 15. Ration them wisely…you’ll be sorry when it’s over!
