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.”
The FTC is finally making it easier to cnacel your gym membership - the Verge

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

We’ve been watching Below Deck: Med as usual, and Aesha has grown into such a leader! Love watching her navigate this role as she grows.
