Big surprise. Another corrupt #republican politician.

2/2 #trump

My spouse: This man is a shame to this country and using this perpetuates a despot's name. He should not be glorified in any capacity.

I wrote: I had the same gut reaction. They are called 530A accounts. People use 401k, so I think they can learn "530a".

#trumpaccounts We received an email from our financial mgr on the new "tax account for juveniles" often called "Trump account." They referred as such. We weren't happy.

My spouse wrote: I wish you and your company would not use that very unfortunate account name. 1/2

Dennis nedry jurrasic park "see nobody cares" meme reads

Hey everybody, this guy still posts on X!

See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.

I'd say Soprano assassination clips are non-binary.

IM from one of my team: What is 'CCR' that Heather referenced in her email to me?

Me: New name for PS&T....I have no idea what it stands for (don't know what PS&T stood for either)

A story of corporate life.

I appreciate it. I think it is more than tax policy, though. Also, you asked about libertarians in general, not just lib'n scholars. I think there is a distinct difference between scholars and the rank and file who identify as libertarian. The latter are basically republicans in libertarian garb.

Yeah...but I wouldn't say just because you are anti-Trump it makes you a liberal. Just means you are less of an *sshole. I think the Cato Institute, on balance, aligns more with conservative policies than liberal thinking. They just happened to be a stopped clock being right.

Respectfully, they are not liberals who find other liberals annoying. Rather they are selfish people who read Ayn Rand (or heard about her "philosophy"), and think they are special and unique.

Too Many Mimics! Making monsters of the mundane since 2025

Spouse, very fine potter, noticed I purchased a dice mimic figurines from toomanymimics.com These joys figs come unpainted.

She: You paint lead, D&D figs in high school?

I did.

She's been on a gentle campaign to get me to paint them.

Bought acrylics & brushes. Started painting the d6 today.

It is amazing in this country, USA, I can no longer read the 3 key national papers (Washington Post, New York Times, & Wall Street Journal), because all so obviously bend knee to the fascists and billionaires (Venn overlap). I cancelled all these sub, and now have #theguardian. #wapo #nytimes #wsj

I love how these people are both dishonest, bullies, and cowards simultaneously. Least he could have done is spoken to his staff before he left. The LEAST....

Wow...I must have the rare, good woman, based on what these guys say. We treat each other like adult partners: share responsibilities and duties, spoil each other, and generally both act like we aren't still nursing. Or am I doing something wrong?

Just heard on call where a French client once said, "SAP is the equivalent of Germany in WWII. Invades our territory and takes all our resources." Couldn't help but laugh. #SAP

Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

I would not confuse "successful" with "popular." Yes, it reached 1b faster than Win10, but that just means it is successful, not necessarily popular. I've rarely seen this much hate for a M$oft product since Windows 8 and before that Windows ME.

Huge respect to Georgia Fort for continuing to report what was happening and why it was unconstitutional while the Feds were literally at her door.

Remember in WW2, even after the United States entered the war against the Nazi's, how US companies continued to sell to the Nazi's until the US banned the practice? This post isn't about WW2. #ice #capitalism #conscience

Translation: S and X models weren't selling anymore, so Elon spun bullsh*t that it was due to a pivot to robots. #elon #tesla
