An Post to maintain parcel services to US despite new tax An Post has said it will maintain parcel services to the US, despite the imposition of new taxes from the US government on parcels entering the country.

Per this: after the target date, we’ll lower our prices at SignedBooksDirect.com for all US customers, so that even when they pay duty on incoming packages, they’ll still be paying the same total amount they would have. https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0822/1529709-an-post-parcels-to-the-us/

Yikes! Much sympathy.

Chicago! Come get your spring loaded kitten!

My oven is nonfunctional and need to get it working again. Lately it has been a series of crappy events that I've dealt with that I don't have the currency to fix. If you think you could - and it won't hurt you - could you toss a penny in the jarro? Thanks! (RT please!)

They do that already, it involves a horse skull and cheese.

...oh god. 😡

My photoshop abilities suck, but I couldn't get this thing out of my head.

I know you try to avoid online review stuff. But the T. Kingfisher subreddit has some lovely fan art for the Paladin books. Unfortunately, they’re not on Tumblr. Maybe Kevin could capture some of it for you?

Oh hey, I should probably remember to tell people that Hemlock & Silver comes out this Tuesday! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Saw a guy this morning on one of those motorized board–on–two–wheels scooters. He had stacked two cases of water bottles on the scooter, and was sitting on top of them as he steered. Ingenious.

Thread! :)

I can’t get over the tapirs in 2001: A Space Odyssey. My suspension of belief didn’t just snap, it bounced it down the stairs like a rubber ball.

Rumor has it that if you’re on Kobo, THE HOLLOW PLACES and THE TWISTED ONES are on sale for $1.99 (at least in Canada)

A young wizard and a more senior one take a little time off on Mars...

The "Don't Make Me Tap The Sign" bus driver from The Simpsons. The sign say: "If we don't make it dangerous to be a Nazi, they'll make it dangerous not to be."

They’ve done it.

They’ve found a cure for type 1 diabetes.

Now it’s just a question of “Will our broken and useless healthcare system allow it to be used for the people who need it?”

Forgive me if I’m not optimistic.

Talk to @diane.dianeduane.com about that one.

Tap dancing on ice skates!!!

And often unsafe. I should probably get light-up rims or something equally garish.

Let’s hope not. It won’t survive. As we all know, nature abhors a vacuum.

I’m the opposite. I’ve gotten so good at being unobtrusive that sometimes people ignore my CAR.

Given that The Behemoth is a Dodge Caravan, it’s unnerving.

If you see this, post a knight.

Oh my this.

Mask.

Indoor air quality.

Testing.

Vaccination.
