Click-to-Cancel is one of those things that sounds minor but is at the heart of many of the frustrations of American life. Corporations were taking our money, we didn't want them to, and we couldn't stop them. Now we can.
FTC announces final “Click-to-Cancel” Rule making it easier for consumers to end recurring subscriptions and memberships: bit.ly/3Yqnl2i #ClicktoCancel /1
I never felt closer to my fellow Chicagoans than when a bunch of drunk, obnoxious Cubs fans got on the train at 5pm. We all made silent eye contact as they got off the train at the wrong stop after declaring "everyone on this train must be so annoyed with us bro!! CUBBIEESSSSS."

i grew up in this area if you can’t tell

My friend is getting assessed for ADHD (which I also have). Her doctor sent me 3 PDFs of assessments for me to fill out as an outside perspective. They have between 30 and 75 questions. The pdf is not fillable. Literally no thought about participant burden.
If they're salty about it I may be petty and include some literature about participant burden and some links to redcap or qualtrics for data collection.
On the accomodations conversation: I once had a meeting with a faculty member where they complained that our annual training was available as audio so you didn't have to read all the text boxes. She felt that, as academics, if reading was difficult you shouldn't be in this field.
About a month ago I got a call from a client about a kitten. He was standing between two of her neighbors' houses screaming for food. I brought him home with the intention of finding him a forever home. Well, I did. Mine. Meet Arson. He's 6 months old and an absolute demon.

tim walz if you start campaigning on a complete breakup of ticketmaster's monopoly this thing wraps up at 10:01pm election day
Just a couple weeks after losing Mickey, our other cat had a seizure and a stroke. She then stopped eating and was a skeletal 4.5 pounds. We tried pred as a last effort. The turnaround was almost immediate. She's now curled up in bed with me, purring happily after breakfast.
If you have pets PLEASE get pet insurance if you can. There's also very inexpensive emergency insurance through Pawp which was a lifesaver for us.
My beautiful, perfect cat, Mickey, passed this morning at home. He was just a month shy of his 18th birthday. We went outside and spent a lot of time on the heating pad. Nothing will ever be the same.
