Shoveling New York City snow now pays $30 per hour. Honestly though, who has the stamina to shovel 2 feet of heavy snow for more than an hour?

I sincerely hope no one has travel plans for Puerto Vallarta anytime soon. It looks like a war zone right now.

Heart attacks, broken bones, falls on the ice, that kind of thing. Although I'm sure they've thought this through and like enesbit said, they'd be covered. But if you can't age discriminate and someone older dies from a heart attack, someone's going to sue.

Mamdani is hiring New Yorkers to shovel snow. All you have to do is fill out an online form and show up at your local sanitation department with your ID and SSN and you'll get $20/hr. Not sure if you need to bring your own shovel.

I think it's a great idea. And yet I see lawsuits. Lots of lawsuits.

It's a great idea and they've really thought it out. Your pet has to be registered with your employer and there has to be a minimum companionship period.

Next time I fill out a form that includes ethnicity, I'm going to write in "multispecies."

Apparently the Colombian Supreme Court is considering giving two days paid leave for the death of a pet.

Wow I'm impressed. You did much better than me at 35.28. I never stopped to think of actually remembering and recreating a color. Much harder than I thought. The last one for me was a kind of golden ochre and it was impossible. But that was fun!

There's a kid on the tictoc called Empathetic Starseed (insert large eye roll here). He's maybe 11 or. 12.and he sits and talks with his space cadet mom about things like the existence of souls, what happens after death, what heaven is like, the consciousness of cells...you know, normal kid stuff.

Today I heard him explaining how aliens are attracted to earth because in all of the universe, this is the only place that has wood. Aliens want our wood. They're not going to hurt us, but they want wood. It's rarer than diamonds, rarer than anything else.

He never explains why or what it's for. Maybe it's a souvenir kind of thing. Like "my Klingon parents went to earth and all I got was this stupid 2x4."

Wood for aliens. Go figure.

Too much ice, too much mixer.

The other Mr went to the supermarket to get some cheese and came home with a can of brie. This is a first for me.
