“Mum felt ill on the hill climb. She was asked to head down, unescorted. Then the ship left, apparently without doing a passenger count.”
First, taking an 80 year old on a hill climb is unwise, but when they feel ill, asking them to go back without an escort is a little more than “failure of care”.
Rule 3:
“Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.”
Google Drive shared folders as well, seeing a lot of those recently and unlike Calendar, you can only block them one at a time.
Blogsites, including Substack, are not allowed.
That seems the most likely:
“Mum felt ill on the hill climb. She was asked to head down, unescorted. Then the ship left”
She fell on the trail headed back. Sending an 80 year old, who felt ill, back unescorted was a failure in duty and comprehension.
In fact, take the age out of it, sending anyone who feels ill back unescorted is a failure in duty and comprehension.
Wait for Project Hail Mary.

Definitely. You’re giving the surveilance state placement though.
This. I said it at the time, I don’t know what the correct answer was.
She died a year before Last Jedi came out, so they could have Lucased the hell out of that movie, made it hers, killed her off gracefully instead of Luke, then given the 3rd film to him.
Or they could have re-cast Leia. I think Michelle Fairley from Game of Thrones could have pulled it off, and it’s not like they hadn’t already done multiple actors before.
Worth noting that Ring has announced a partnership with Flock.
So if you’re in the Ring ecosystem, maybe time to re-consider.
For the record:
According to Trump Justice, this is NOT a mob of rioters:
This is:
One of our biggest bookstores contracted with a local artist for some merch. That artist used AI with predictable results. Now everyone involved is getting raked over the coals for it.
No surprise, they just announced a 4th round of layoffs too. 😟

He had a stroke but he’s still alive.
“I have my highest poll numbers that I’ve ever had”
I was going to say “low bar” but it’s not even true from that perspective:
"Oct. 29 -19 net approval rating: Trump’s approval rating dipped to a second-term low of 39% in Economist/YouGov polling, while 58% disapprove of his job performance in the survey taken Oct. 24-27 among 1,623 U.S. adults (margin of error 3.5).
Trump’s net approval rating in the poll is also lower than all but one Economist/YouGov survey taken during his first term."

I feel this is what it must have been like for non-English speakers discovering Elvis for the first time.
Like a lot of good questions… “it depends”.
Good read here!

Some states, yes. Some, no.
Some states will get pushed to “Yes” if SNAP benefits are reduced or eliminated.
I’d throw on a state flag before the country flag, but it’s hard to do right because it’s the only 2-sided state flag.
I find it’s hard to beat laser pointers and paper bags, but I could see that working too!
