Tonight's meeting of Insomnia Club is brought to you by my dog who demanded to go out at 3am for apparently secret reasons.

There have been TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY EIGHT school shootings THIS YEAR????
No one else in the world lives like this. We should not put up with living like this.

Whatever new flavor of surveillance capitalism has websites emailing me when I've only visited them—not bought anything or even put something in a cart—is the absolute worst user-hostile dark pattern I've seen in a while.
