Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

β€œIs there a technology the left is excited about?”

High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

Basically Ring advertised the technology Batman used to find the Joker that Lucius Fox refused to be a part of except for that one time.

Operational or "turned on but the gate agent is just waving everyone through because they're slow and there's a big bottleneck"?

Can the House not adjourn the session the day before and just carry on indefinitely? I feel like legislative days don't end at midnight, it ends when the session gavels out.

Are you really from the South Shore if you don't have at least one offbrand Boston sports hat or tee purchased from Lil Peach or Tedeschi's?

The "what a week" meme from 30 Rock. Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey) says "what a week, huh?" And Jack Donaghy (played by Alec Baldwin) replies "Lemon it's 6:30 AM on a Monday"

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social's NYTimes best-selling book Separation of Church and Hate is must-reading. Here he preaches on the difference between organized religion and the teachings of Jesus, of transformational love in service.
