Must be end of the month

How do you know it’s the end of a month? Aside from the increase in drug overdoses when the EBT cards are issued, the most reliable online signal is Substack screwing up its UI. Normally they mess with the CSS formatting so the page looks random and impossible to read. This time they left the formatting alone and screwed up the JS code for taking an entry. When I try to post a comment, the cursor jumps to a random location somewhere in the middle of the message where there isn’t an entry blank.

Sometimes a bug is introduced as part of a real improvement in function, but these screwups don’t seem to be the ‘price for progress’. There’s no visible change at the same time.
