I don't even know what sticky toffee puddind IS and I agree that you can't skimp on the sauce. It's so obvious!

I remember when Jimmy Carter asked for a ballroom for AT LEAST 150 years, maybe even longer.

I've heard rumors of not-particularly-smart people that routinely steal billions of dollars from people that think they are on the same team.

To whom it may concern:

If I win a trophy for being the best pinball player in the world, I can give it to you and I will STILL be the best pinball player in the world and you will still be NOT the best pinball player in the world.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I'm surprised that JD seems to be saying that someone could charge him and his boss with a crime and then attack Washington, DC, arrest them, and take them out of the country. I guess sound bites don't care about subtext.

A friend from Memphis told me that an ICE recruitment ad played while he was watching Sound of Music on local ABC affiliate station. It is hard to understand why anyone would think that was a good idea.

Amazon informed me that Rootboy Slim is my top artist. They may be right but I thought I like Dead and Richard Thompson, too.

Please remind anyone that will listen: Health CARE and Health INSURANCE aren’t the same thing. Politicians fixing health INSURANCE are helping insurance companies, not sick people.

I'm still enjoying the use of block lists to keep Nazis and their ilk out of my news feed. To me, that is one of the best things about this platform. If you don't already block these people, check it out!

It's impossible for me to wrap my mind around the fact that millions of veterans voted for this guy.

My dad was a POW in a German camp during WW II. I probably wasn't ever going to vote from Trump, anyway, but the comment about preferring "heroes that don't get caught" ensured that he would never get my vote.

I’d better go spend it now. It should arrive any moment.

One of my favorite features of Bluesky is the ability to subscribe to blocklists. I heard that Trump and his cronies are trying to gain traction on Bluesky so I looked for a blocklist and there it was! Saved me from blocking each account separately.

Of special interest, if you pick a Medicare Advantage plan (avoid it if you can) that doesn’t include prescription coverage, you aren’t allowed to buy a separate Part D drug plan.

Also, add up the total out of pocket expense to find the REAL cost. A plan with $0 premium and $10K out of pocket costs more than a plan with $250 premium plus the <$300 deductible (about $3300).

If you’re old enough for Medicare: Make sure you know what you’re signing up for during open employment. If you choose MA (don’t if you can avoid it) make sure it has a drug plan. You aren’t allowed to get a separate Part D plan if it’s not part of your MA plan.

Maybe he thinks it's OK because he said :house slave" instead of "house [n-word]"

Spoiler alert:

We know what he actually meant.

When I see these reports that people were mistakenly fired but have now been called back to work, I notice that there is an assumption that everyone just returns to work. I would be surprised to hear that nobody said, "Screw these bastards! I've had enough of this BS!"

Nothing says, "You are about to be fired", so eloquently

You may as well just say, "I am working hard to do what my superiors tell me to do, even if I can't tell what they actually want."

It won't make any difference if they want to get rid of you, and it doesn't give them ammo to hunt you with.

"There is going to be a No Kings protest next week to focus people's attention on corruption and abuse of power in the government."

"They are having a HATE AMERICA rally next week!"

If I understand correctly being against abuse of power and corruption means that you hate America.

That looks like recycled video from a few years ago. I don't think that it reflects the current situation, at least not yet.

At first I thought it was just talk, but it's been a godsend for me. I got my check from the pharmaceutical company just in time to overpay for some grocery staples.

Please remind everyone that health INSURANCE and health CARE aren’t the same thing, although the insurance industry has done their best to confuse everyone about it.

Nobody has said it, but has anyone considered the idea that Hegseth is calling all the military brass to an in-person meeting in preparation for declaring a national emergency when the government shuts down?
