She's at the beginning of a stellar career -- very much looking forward to seeing how far she goes. Just stupendously talented.

My wife helped me with that: when she started saying "fuck your garbanzos, fuck them" I stopped buying them. Point being, there are valid supply-side approaches to this.

If in any political conversation, someone says "Both sides...", you're talking with someone whose thinking is inadequate for this moment *and* who wants you to accept that inadequacy as valid conversational coin.

Well, it's right on the label. Best. Farter. Ever. The quality & volume of that person's flatus conveys critical cues about the trenchant wisdom of their insights.

Shorter Pete Hegseth: the Pentagon is now the Mojo Dojo Casa House. Hoorah.

What's the deal with their insignia & gear? No two of them match. Who *are* these people?

We'll discuss it in the morning standup. It may be pushed to the next sprint.

3D printer build plate with custom ice cube tray model

Our five-year-old Samsung refrigerator developed cracks in the ice cube tray, which is only available as part of the $200 backordered ice maker assembly. OK fine, today will be iterating on a replacement.

Dear gestapo trash:

Yes, and many aspects of the CARES Act were still paying out in many fields as you would expect from an enormous stimulus package. Your point is...?

The *whole* truth is truth, Jim. The CARES Act gave 20% bump in Medicare payments for people with COVID through mid-2023.

No payment for listing COVID as the cost of death. No payment if not on Medicare. No money after mid-2023. That's a long-ass way from what you're saying.

Alas, that's only the second most ludicrous thing I've read today. Gonna have to try harder if you want to make it to the top.

An effort that 77 million people said "no" to, after a 107-day-long sprint. Nah, she already gave. Your turn.

Kamala Harris ran for freakin' PRESIDENT, how much more effort do you expect? Jesus.

You're still beating the "they died WITH it, not OF it" drum here in 2025. Consider *your part* in the responses you're getting.

Someone's exercise of their Second Amendment rights just terminated Charlie Kirk's First Amendment rights, and I can't bring myself to be happy about that outcome.

This is absolutely true. Never mind GitHub or Sourceforge, find Joe.

I'm sure the ACLU is already on deck and ready to go.

This is *exactly* the moment to let the field open up. I like Pritzker, also KY gov Beshear, and Pete Buttigieg at least deserves a voice.

True of less affluent districts maybe: the wealthy ones will give out Yubikeys and make them give up their phones. Probably even increase the spread in academic performance between rich & poor.

My plan to revive American manufacturing is to: raise the price of inputs like steel, aluminum & copper; create shortages of rare earths; generate less electricity; invite retaliatory tariffs; cut R&D; raise borrowing costs by blowing out the budget; and to cover it all in a cloud of uncertainty.

I will never understand why so many rejoice at *hurting* people, in as many petty little ways as their power allows.

That's the part I can't forgive on the part of Trump voters: they knew this, they cheered it, and they're pleased to this day.

He's rank enough without us outsiders piling on.

Reminder: "supporting the troops" does not mean "supporting those who put them in harm's way". If "supporting the troops" doesn't include fully funding veterans' benefits + doing the utmost to prevent conflict through statecraft & humanitarian aid, that's no support at all.

Even more so with Oath Keepers - 2/3 of them are ex-military or LEO.

If it hasn't been, it surely will be now.

It's plausible that at least some of the Proud Boys & Oath Keepers etc pardoned by Trump have either been directly hired by ICE or are subcontractors. The rag-tag mix of clothing & gear suggest they're at least irregulars.

No proof, just vibes. Vibes go a long way here on the interwebs.

As a Gen-Xer who voted Nader in 2000 and was horrified to see the US lurch into war in Iraq under false pretenses, I'm having serious deja vu.

Those of you who didn't want Kamala Harris: this is why I agitated for *everyone* on the left to vote for her. I remember what it cost us last time.

I thought the Iraq invasion debate would be the dumbest political moment of my lifetime, because nobody could possibly assemble an administration with more losers and maniacs than GWB did.

The only real difference is the Trump admin has *no* quality people working for it.
