Girl Scouts in trouble for selling cookies outside a marijuana dispensary

I think they should get extra entrepreneur badges for this!

“You use cannabis, you get the munchies,” Daylite Dispensary owner Steve Cassidy told the outlet Wednesday. “There’s a connection between snacks and cannabis and the fact that we don’t have to pretend that doesn’t exist anymore is really awesome.”

The cookies were in such high demand that some customers skipped the weed and went straight to the booth first, the outlet reported.

Social security sent a text saying I have a new message. Can't log in. Suggestions?

Correction: I meant to say Login.gov in my original message
----------------------------------------------------
I haven't had any changes to my life that would would affect SS, so this is a bit concerning to me. I have tried several times to log in using my usual Login.gov login process. They send me a text code to verify, and then reject it.

Is anyone else getting these messages? Are there changes afoot that I need to know?

Thanks.

I don't think Hegsbreath properly thought through all the potential ramifications of attacking a highly technologically advanced enemy.
