I went to the Adler Planetarium for the first time in decades.

The main theatre was set up like a regular theatre that just happened to have a dome-shaped screen. The night sky was not projected onto it except as a backdrop, and even if it had been, the seating wasn’t optimized for viewing it.

Maybe one of the other theatres is more traditionally used, or they rearrange the seating for other shows, but what they had can’t be accurately termed a planetarium.

I am embarrassed for my city.

Just got triple-vaxxed. Third is for shingles. Good times



I’m still torqued off about the planetarium.

Went to a dispensary, so I am officially no longer allowed to buy a gun.

You set foot in a pot store, so you have a lifetime ban on gun purchases? That doesn't sound right. I thought it was only a ban on purchases while you're using (or recently used).

I may have bought some.

On the form to buy a gun, Sam asks the applicant if they do any federally illegal drugs. Pot is listed explicitly. Answer “yes” and the application is denied. Lying on the application is 5 in the poke.

there are tons of places in the USA where the streets are lined w both pot and gun shops. I don't think that checkbox is stopping people.

Another case to be made for federal legalization.

Last I heard, the Feds began the process to reclassify marijuana to a lower level. No idea if Trump will interfere though.

Good for people + good for the economy + widespread support buuuuuuuut it's a culture-war wedge issue? He's definitely blocking it.

Waited five months for a pair of handmade boots only to discover I needed to go up a width.
