So, more crappy news which I don't even want to dignify by posting

Like, seriously, fuck this shit.

But after I moped about today's news a bit I listened to Additional Postage Required and - listen, I don't know if I've said this to all of you, but audiodrams are the absolutely gayest and trans-est media I've ever consumed. You can hardly throw a stone with - no, let's pick a different metaphor. You can hardly turn around without another character just casually being themself, and donations to appropriate charities abound in the credits. Half the shows I listen to can probably be summed up as "Everybody's queer while fighting fascism in space".

So, you know, if you need something to do while not reading the news, I can make a few recommendations.

So, how much are you all spending per dozen eggs?

I went to the store to re-up eggs, and they were going for $10 a dozen. It was actually cheaper to get organic eggs, at $8.50! I seriously considered getting the 2.5 dozen pack, but even at a (slightly) cheaper per unit price of $8.20/dozen that sticker shock was still insane.

And while I love complaining about the way our local store gouges on butter ($8 a pound for store brand!), this time it's not just them - the prices were about the same at Stop and Shop. Well, okay, everybody's talking about egg prices lately - except then I read an article about skyrocketing egg prices and the article cite a shocking (!) $4 a dozen, which, don't make me laugh.

So was that article already painfully out of date, or are we just getting massively ripped off over here?
