My constant companion for 16 years, waited patiently with me in a hospital parking lot while my husband went thru chemo at the height of the pandemic. AKC Canine Good Citizen, registered therapy dog, agility champ and the best, most loving boy. Rest in peace Mr. Henry. We love you forever.

The brilliant people on the newsroom side are the reason I still subscribe. My subscription is a small fraction of what I used to spend on Amazon. "Used to". If other big Amazona users cut back even 25%, it would be a wake up for Bezos and investors that there is a price for damage he is doing

I've been so distracted that I missed the news of Sawyer's passing. Arizonans read Karina Bland's columns for years and watched Sawyer grow up through the pages of the Arizona Republic. We loved this young man as one of our own and are devastated by this news.

Seriously? No real person "celebrated" it. I would be more impressed if she called out those who sanctimoniously used her family's tragedy to falsely accuse others and promote a twisted political agenda.

Take it from a resident of Maricopa County, AZ- if you don't have Dem watch dogs on the commission, your bills will skyrocket. Our Dem AG is intervening to try and stop the 3rd increase (cumulative 33% increase) in the 2 years since it became all GOP. Republicans only serve the rich.

I think you give them too much credit for logical thought processes.

Here's your reminder to look out for hedgehogs this Bonfire Night.

Stacks of logs and leaves look real inviting to hedgehogs searching for places to hibernate. Remember to check your bonfires before lighting them!

Nope. Republicans can't lead or govern, they only know authoritarianism, greed and arrogance.

I am not surprised that violent maga couldn't figure out the real costume from MATH teachers 🀦. And not surprised that they would immediately look for an excuse for violence. It's who they are.

Wow. They are recalling a Republican for occasionally being a decent human being? I wondered if Mesa would be completely lost when Giles left. Guess that's the answer.

🀞 Youngkin turned out to be such a lying conman I am surprised anyone in Virginia would vote for a Republican.

He is right. And Americans want to see more of that from our elected representatives.

Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't spent a lot of time on the story but I know my husband is following closely. And this looks fun.

Everyone knows, in game theory one of the primary axioms is: Anyone Musk endorses is crooked AF. Full Stop.

Hard to believe that anyone would think an endorsement from apartheid Elmo was a positive thing.

Hey! Dylan is timeless! (I'm a boomer and he would have had my vote long ago if I lived in NY- it's the Xers that are the problem 🀨)
We were just talking the other day that todays horrors are reminiscent of the '60s. And music is starting to reflect that.

Um... probably should have just asked people who voted for him. Because the rest of us fully expected him to tank the economy and the country and so far he is meeting and exceeding our expectations.

My beloved was just watching CNN with that lying fearmongering piece of garbage on. I sincerely don't know anyone could vote for yet another lying oligarch's pervert. Aaaaahhhh.
