  • No, this wasn’t a “glitch.” It was fraud.

  • It’s that time of year! Time for some Irish cream coffee from our favorite area in Ireland!

    A shot of a bottle of Irish cream sitting on a wooden table. The label says “Five Farms County Cork Ireland and the lower label says, “Single batch Irish cream liqueur - fresh dairy cream from five family-owned farms expertly blended with triple-distilled Irish whiskey exclusively sourced in County Cork, Ireland — 750 ml Product of Ireland — 17% alc by volume”

  • Added a web player for my podcast (the one in which I co-host) called “Write Out Loud” to my blog/site.

  • Florida is running a ridiculously bad-faith ad against marijuana legalization for recreational use. The ad states absolute lies such as (and I’m paraphrasing):

    This is not the marijuana of the 60’s and 70’s. This marijuana is genetically engineered and enhanced to get your kids hooked, turn them into mindless zombies and psychotics, and you should help us ensure this gateway drug that makes kids more depressed and anxious never sees the light of day here in Florida.

    I shouldn’t be surprised given the level of deception they’ve sunk to with regards to women’s reproductive rights.

  • Glad the FTC is taking action on this. Having to call or chat with an agent to cancel a membership is the worst.

    Emma Roth writes:

    “Under the rule, businesses can’t force customers to cancel a subscription using a method different from how they signed up.”

    and:

    “Most of the provisions in the ‘click-to-cancel’ rule will go into effect 180 days after it’s published in the Federal Register.”

  • This had me rolling!

    “The fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene is not frequently struck by lightning is proof that the Democrats do not control the weather.” - Robert E. McGraw

  • Set up a new page called “Matt Recommends” on my site. I’m hoping to add to it regularly.

  • Made it throughgh the storm safely!

  • 📢 Update as of 6:30 PM EST 📢

    We are doing fine with wind gusts at 30 mph & rain. No major issues yet, & we have power.

    The storm has slowed significantly in power in the past 1.5 hours. It’s a Category 3 with sustained winds of 120 mph. It will head directly over Sarasota as a Cat 1.

  • The Apple Journal app has a weird obsession with wanting me to write about the times and locations when I go out to eat. 🤣 It comes up with titles like, “Afternoon Outing to Panda Express.” I’m not sure if I should be worried or offended. lol
