Movie theaters are happy to let people buy tickets in advance, online. It makes them feel modern and competitive.
But, now that people can choose their seats in advance, there’s no longer any need to come in early to make sure that they get good ones, and hence no reason to sit through the 15-20 minutes of ads and trailers.
I wonder if advertisers are catching on to that, and are reducing the amount of money they spend at theaters?

An article in the Post-Dispatch says that Missouri may have a hard time meeting the deadline for making sure adults on Medicaid are working. The deadline is December 31, 2026 and the Mo. Department of Social Services says it will take at least 2 years from now to comply.
When the federal government required Real IDs for air travel, Missouri successfully dragged its feet for years, getting more than one extension of the deadline.
Maybe they can do that again.
Both entries showed up in both places. I should have looked at the first one, the one with the "Politics" tag, before I posted the 2nd one, to see where it landed.

I noticed that many of my posts don’t appear in the “Primary” tab of my Gmail account. Some land in “Social” and some don’t show up at all.
Is the blog sorting them for readers by what the blog feels is relevant?
I’m going to do the same post, one with the tag “Politics”, and one with the tag “Pop Culture” and see what happens.
Sorry for messing with your email.
