Dear Katie Benner of the NYT, who thinks we need to listen more to Trump supporters because "there's something there we're not understanding." It's RACISM. Sure their answers don't make sense because no one is going to say "it's because I'm racist", so they make something else up.

The ones that love him are the better-off ones with secure employment who I happen to know are racist.

Anyone know how to bulk-delete a bazillion calendar entries? Ran my usual medication reminder shortcut after the iOS 17 update and for some reason it did an infinite loop. I’m afraid of what’s going to happen when they all try to send a notification at the same time 😭 I think I’m going to have to nuke the whole calendar. @viticci @johnvoorhees
The US has messed up its #COVID booster rollout. People are cancelling vaccine appointments or are wrongfully being charged because of insurance issues. This is unacceptable. Vaccines should be free regardless of your insurance status. https://www.timesunion.com/health/article/insurance-issues-lead-cvs-others-cancel-covid-18368441.php?utm_campaign=CMS%20Sharing%20Tools%20(Premium)&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral
Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain.
In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food.
Our government stated in May that they'd build a food price database together with the big grocery chains. But..

If you live in the Netherlands and use or have used Google services you may be entitled to financial compensation. The current claim will be €750- pp. Of course, this is a high anchoring point and the financier will keep 18-25%, but if Google loses the case it'll probably still be a not insignificant amount of money.
