Every parent in the US who sends their kids to school knows that they are playing a lottery – today could be the day that their kid is shot. It could happen anywhere, any time. There’s no safe place.

I have been watching college football all day and seen approximately 638,915 GOP ads viciously bashing Dems on ESPN, Fox, ABC, etc. and exactly zero ads for Dems period.

I seriously dislike when the NYT crossword gets cute with things. Hard clues I love. Making it so you can’t solve the puzzle without breaking the rules of crossword puzzles is just annoying.

It’s effectively impossible to manage uploaded photos on Amazon Alexa devices using the iOS app because if you’ve uploaded more than about 120 photos, the screen refreshes back to the top any time you scroll down more than a few pages.

I’ve reported this twice now to the Alexa team and gotten no response. I even explained why it was happening and how to fix it! (I had to deal with the same issue with my bartender app.)

My favorite part of Monday Night Football is learning about all the new prescription cancer medications.

Yet another NFL season begins with a terrible implementation of the on-screen possession indicator. Who at NBC thought a half-circle around their logo would be cute?

The only people who don’t think the entire health insurance system in these United States is irreparably, tragically, insultingly broken are the incredibly healthy and the absurdly wealthy.

Everyone else is screwed, and we know it. And yet nothing changes because the incredibly wealthy make the rules.
