So, thanks to President Biden’s Infrastructure Bill, remote locations on the Navajo Nation Reservation will be receiving electricity for the first time — ever.

Also, water treatment devices are being developed to help the tribe access clean running water. After decades without.

This drink is bad. It tastes like shoving your face into a clump of sugarcane and rimming it. Its flavor is mellow, but in an insulting and wishy-washy way. It could not decide whether or not being more botanical would be unappealing and therefore wears a thick, sludgy mask of sweet undertones that suffer from delusions of grandeur. This drink does not know what it wants from you. Its sole saving grace is how tipsy it got me, but I'm a notorious lightweight, so I can barely even count on that as anything worth declaring. A solid 4 out of 10. I finished the glass but only out of feelings of resentful obligation and sneering spite. Do not drink this.

Technophobes need to apologise for "just put it in plain English you stupid machine!" because, well for one the decline in accurate error messages in favour of simplicity has contributed to the rise of tech illiteracy, but also because now whenever an "app" has a net connection error it will pop up a box saying something like "oo ooopsie! Your super duper feed went poo poo. We'll try again soon!" which having said to me by a corporation is about 8 million times worse than having to hear the word "network".
