Extreme winter weather and a bad flu season have fueled a severe shortage in the national blood supply over the past month, according to the American Red Cross.

I'll be honest--I haven't donated blood since the company I work for switched from the Red Cross to some company with "Blood for Patriots" on one of its donation vans and a guy with prison tattoos doing the sticking (he managed to get a half-pint out of me before his crappy needlework clogged up).

I *did* say rabbit rabbit on January 1, and behold!
What I'm trying to say is I'm very sorry.

An Airplane joke? on XKCD? It's more likely than you think.

It's important to teach yourself to feel responsible for random events, because with great responsibility comes great power. That's what my wise Uncle Ben told me right before he died; he might still be alive today if only I'd said rabbit rabbit that year!
Nicknamed 'Conformity Gate,' the conspiracy theory rabbit hole goes deep but ultimately leads nowhere.
If I were Netflix I'd make a separate "Stranger Things Secret Finale" item and have it be "Wake Up Dead Man" or something.

Neighborhood favorites expand while new sandwich spots pop up across the city, dominated by Italian classics
It's great that Nashville is getting a ton of new sandwich places, but the fact that each and every one of them closes at like 4pm suuuuucks. Sometimes I want a sandwich for dinner!

Larissa Maestro is absurdly talented. They are a multi-instrumentalist that has played with a very long list of musicians you have definitely heard of. They're a composer, arranger, Star Trek enthusiast. Oh, and they perform in a 90's tribute band called My So-Called Band. That's nowhere near the full list of achievements but it's enough context to tell you that Maestro has a deep well of talent.
"Rotation" is their latest release - a piece written for a quartet that was inspired by the tornados that ravaged parts of Nashville. This visualizer is an excellent pairing to the music but, truly, all you need to do is listen. It's 7 and a half minutes and quite sublime. You can pick up the track over on Bandcamp.

Having worked with Larissa on a couple things over the years, I can confirm they're ridiculously talented.
