I’m so tired of the headlines in articles and videos that have NOTHING to do with the content OR very little to do with the content. It just makes me not want to to read any news articles or watch any of the videos.

“Wicked” was fantastic!

My guilty pleasure is watching audition videos for “America’s Got Talent” and the like, and I get emotional when they show the family and friends just soooo proud and emotional over their success.

it’s that time of the week: Sunday night. I don’t really want to go to work tomorrow, but it’s only a four-day work week.

I always have intentions of getting stuff done, and then, nothing gets done.

I don’t know why we’d been sleeping in “The Diplomat.” Holy crap is that good!

Good morning! :)

Off to the Maker Faire today with a friend of ours. Curious to see what I’m going to stumble across! #MakerFaireOrlando

Someone said, “Don’t leave the country. You gotta stay and fight to make this a better place.”

Sorry, if I discover I’ve ended up at a KKK frat party, I’m not hanging around to see if I can make it better.

Anyone else having issues adding Bluesky to @Openvibe?

It’s that time of year! Time for some Irish cream coffee from our favorite area in Ireland!

Added a web player for my podcast (the one in which I co-host) called “Write Out Loud” to my blog/site.

Florida is running a ridiculously bad-faith ad against marijuana legalization for recreational use. The ad states absolute lies such as (and I’m paraphrasing):

"This is not the marijuana of the 60’s and 70’s. This marijuana is genetically engineered and enhanced to get your kids hooked, turn them into mindless zombies and psychotics, and you should help us ensure this gateway drug that makes kids more depressed and anxious never sees the light of day here in Florida."

I shouldn’t be surprised given the level of deception they’ve sunk to with regards to women’s reproductive rights.

Glad the FTC is taking action on this. Having to call or chat with an agent to cancel a membership is the worst.

Emma Roth writes:

"“Under the rule, businesses can’t force customers to cancel a subscription using a method different from how they signed up.”"

and:

"“Most of the provisions in the ‘click-to-cancel’ rule will go into effect 180 days after it’s published in the Federal Register.”"

Set up a new page called “Matt Recommends” on my site. I’m hoping to add to it regularly.
