It's possible Trump will win again. And even if he doesn't, he's not the only threat. There's so the emboldened MAGAts, a resurgent white nationalist / neo-Nazi / christofascist movement being weaponized, an unapologetically corrupt Supreme Court, a Republican party that's too scared of their own voters to do their job, a heavily militarized and intolerant police force, and plans to forcibly re-make the country with the next Republican president.

Sadly, no:

Bakers, bakeries and bakers shops were required by law only to sell their 'national loaves' when they were a day old because stale bread did not cut to waste like fresh bread. Source

[If you can find it, the BBC Timeshift episode 'Bread: A Loaf Affair' mentions this along with a surprisingly interesting modern-ish history of bread in the UK. It's narrated by Tom Baker.]

In the UK, bakers were forbidden from selling bread on the day it was baked, in order to make it more stale and reduce demand.

This isn't really about Swift. It's about Elon Musk, and Clarence Thomas, and Donald Trump, and all the other corrupt narcissists who don't want you to know what they're up to.

The nursing homes near me an absolute minimum of $7000 a month. The food is shite, you have to share a small room, and they're severely understaffed. All the profit goes to the owners and shareholders - and they make that profit by understaffing, under-caring, and under-providing. For-profit healthcare needs to die.

Got my booster for the summer last week. It'll be at full strength by Memorial Day, and should last through Labor Day. I get my fall booster in mid-October: it's full strength by Halloween and carries me through all the winter holidays. Plus an N95 (of course!).

I'm afraid that that information has had to be [redacted]. Choose another path.
