Four full hours and finally got an answer. The person who took the call was very helpful and I got what I needed. SSA employees are awesome. Too bad there are so few of them.

Do people still care what the cdc is saying? credibility is a real thing Y’all.

If only it were true. Assuming anyone actually qualified for rapture it would solve so many problems ; housing crisis, probably have a positive effect on global warming, eliminate annoying door knocks from evangelicals, used car prices would come down, I don’t see any real downside…

On line (phone) for SSA estimated wait time 120 minutes, currently at 232min. They close in about 10 minutes I’m guessing I won’t reach a human today. Curious to know if they’ll just hang up or give me the chance to take the survey they’ve been nattering about for the last three and a half hours.

and the pink tax strikes again…in this case who cares…

This was an odd sighting.

Left lane must turn right?

Kansas City stood up today. (There were other protests in suburbs as well. #nokingsday

Or it could just be another way to cut out communication for rural Americans.

Well done then!

You gotta ask?

“would allow SMs to arrest immigrants legally”
Why they would care about that now is kind of odd. Legality, pffft…

Is this the EO @maddow.msnbc.com was talking about on tonight’s show, assigning 600 mile strip of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California border territory part of a military base?

Big fan of Buns Masters Bakery in Victoria. Best peanut butter chocolate chip cookies ever. Go Canada!

Just avoid the Macarena pretty sure they’ll send you out of the country for that.

There is very little the government can do to benefit my relationship…hard pass.

Sadly true

As long as we can cut the federal taxes that cover the federal portion and pay that directly to the states…wouldn’t really like it but could support it.

More guns and ammo could have fixed the situation…drones even…

Ahh so a drummer?

Would be a real shame if those otherwise really nice people who collect scrap metal for recycling found all that steel down there on the border. Given the tariffs, the price of foreign steel is likely to go up.

Would be a good time to dissolve the law firm.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

I agree, most Americans are so furious and betrayed on their own behalf that there is little room to feel betrayal for countries that don’t have the gelatinous orange thug ruining their future. Oh wait, hang on… Now I can’t think of any.

Dammit, again? …trundles over to a bucket of whiteout.

Cheryl is a veteran who lost her benefits because of DOGE.
Randy Fine & his GOP compatriots are the reason this is happening.

Same with all underwear @ Target. (As of several weeks ago)

Given the current state of things if I were a new parent I would have to think about whether I would want my infant child to even be registered with this government. In the regular world this would clearly not be an issue.

They don’t make em like they used to. We judged our team members by their chicken wing and jalapeño consumption.

Tune because you care…

Makes me nostalgic for grep, sed, and awk. I once corrected all the misspellings of the word “receive” in a commercial purchasing application’s cobol source code…ahh good times…
I may have even edited a group or passwd file that way.
