Buddy of mine said he was thinking about trying ozempic but he realized that if ozempic works by suppressing your hunger signals, then you could achieve the same thing just by ignoring them. He lost something like 50 pounds in the next few months after this enlightenment.

The actions necessary to even remedy a fraction of what DOGE did will take a level of commitment and funding that rivals the Marshall Plan, and if you expect that to happen from a Congress that wonโt even end the filibuster to give people healthcare, godspeed.

I keep pointing this out, but I donโt think people actually fathom the catastrophic loss of expertise that occurred from DOGEโs gutting of the federal government. Imagine if every school teacher in America with more than 20 years experience all vanished tomorrow. This is irreparable damage.

It will actually not be possible to accurately calculate the number of people who will die, directly or indirectly, because of the stuff DOGE did in a matter of months. And as such, not a single person will face any repercussions for it. This is one of the most total victories in American history.

Meanwhile, after the cute little 2-week news cycle of some meaningless public feud with the president, Elon Muskโand probably also Peter Thielโwalked away with their hands on what is likely a database of literally every single American citizenโs most private financial and demographic information.

DOGE was not a failure. Its purpose was to use the completely fabricated claim of โefficiencyโ to irreparably annihilate vast amounts of federal government infrastructure, which it did instantly, violently, and in ways we will not see the full repair of in our lifetimes.

I think a problem is thereโs such a vast difference in the quality range. Brownies can be anywhere from 1โ10 depending on the recipe, but even cinnamon rolls straight from the tube are like a 7 baseline.

Federal pension eligibility kicks in at five years of service, but she still canโt collect until sheโs 62. She could really want the healthcare subsidy that comes with that pension, but thatโs a hell of a long game.

Nuh-Uh Liberals have excused the Shutdown cave by saying the movement on Epstein and highlighting the GOP's cruelty will buttress them in the 2026 elections. So far we have a poll showing it will actually... help Susan Collins get reelected. Great job everyone.

This is of course one of the most glaring examples on how surrendering for a vote on ACA was peak Democrat stupidity. The vote will fail but Democrats generously provided Collins another out for that precious, precious Sensible Moderateโข๏ธ cred.

Iโve made this point before but the biggest luxury item consumed by the median American voter is racism. Itโs the thing they most enjoy when they have nothing else to care about and whenever the economy goes to shit itโs the first thing they let go of to tighten their budgets.

The hilarious irony is that probably the one major sector where Trump could dramatically reduce prices, would, of course, be healthcare, but he canโt/wonโt because the increases are entirely his doing and fixing them is Democratsโ entire case to not vote for Republicans.

This is astonishingly bad news for Trump in that there is basically no way prices are going to lower now because even if he eliminated all of his tariffs (he wonโt), companies will simplyโฆ Keep prices where they are now. This is gas post-Iraq war all over again.

Obviously, in a world where God was real and happiness was possible, WB would just be appropriately broken up into like six separate companies, but since that option doesnโt exist in this realm of reality Netflix getting it is a trillion times better than Paramount or Saudi Arabia

Every Windows 11 PC is now an Al

it all.
Here's how to get rid of Copilot
completely from your computer

> Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off
This hides Copilot from your
taskbar

@forgoodcode
2/ Press Win + R
> Type in โregeditโ
> Navigate to
"HKEY _CURRENT_USER\ Software \ Policie
s\Microsoft\ Windows"
> Right-click on the "Windows" Key
> New
> Key
> Name the new key "WindowsCopilotโ
> Right-click on the new key

@forgoodcode
3/

Congrats! Copilot is now completely
gone from your computer.
Hope this helps

Centrism Cannot Fail, It Can Only Beโฆ
Oh, wait, itโs totally failed.
Reactionary centrists generally act as if they are always the outsiders, always giving the Democratic party a path away from its failures. But in fact we do have examples of reactionary centrism in practice. Andโฆitโs success rate is not impressive.
