It was in the trash can. No, I don't have a toddler. I don't even think I can blame the cat this time.

Anyone out here who works with student loans? I ignored all those "follow these people" lists because I don't like being told what to do. Now I want one of those lists -- but just for student loan lawyers and advocates!!

A guy falls off a 40 story building. As he passes by the 20th floor, a friend sticks his head out the window and goes "good news, so far you're all right"

It is kind of fun to imagine this "autopen" signing as an anime, though.

But aso...please don't write "Liberal Bluesky" like it's some sort of monolithic entity. I know tons of people refer to Trump-supporters in over-arching descriptions as well, but ... it's so tedious.

You are right. Not unestimating enemies is important.

Is there a fancy Latin phrase or some prefect quote for no shame? Shamelessness is being defined before our very eyes.

Attention Consumer advocates!!Download the CFPB Consumer complaint database while you still can.
Same for the databases of Consumer lending agreements.

Also though -- even the Catholic magazines Catholics tend to keep on the back of the toilet are shockingly different between the North and the South. Completely different.

It is just so much more thrilling to see big mansions crashing to earth with the ocean in the background apparently. I've been seriously annoyed but not surprised at this.
