This is stupid for the reasons many other have already said, but it's also worth reflecting here on the fact that we only know how to deliver benefits through the tax code anymore. The idea of the government proactively delivering new benefits and services is dead.

Oh yeah, this is the other thing, Biden used the SPR - correctly - to smooth out the Ukraine invasion price action and try to break the Saudis (which he largely succeeded at). We had begun refilling this thing with oil at 60, but Trump’s team are idiots, and forgot about it - half full

I’d rather they go back to hollowing out the federal government and stealing our data than kick off a global recession and world war 3.

Those were simpler times.

Remember when Trump said he’d end the war in Ukraine on day one because he and Putin had a β€œvery good relationship”? It’s day 409, and Russia is providing intel to target US forces. But sure, let’s keep letting him talk and pretending we believe what he says

My brain read this 4 times as "Rick" before it hit me that you said "Richard" and I was trying to figure out how to politely ask you if you were insane.

My kingdom for this Louisville team to just dismantle a team they are supposed to dismantle.

Led at the half by 19.

Should've won by 35.

Just quit playing defense and screwed around and might be lucky to win by 15.

Absolutely disappointing.

The most dangerous thing about AI chat bots is how many men with political power treat them *exactly* and unquestioningly like actual Ancient Greek oracles.

I'm not going anywhere or anything. And I'm absolutely rooting for PK to figure this out, either this season or in the off-season for next year.

But damn. This is FRUSTRATING.

Unprecedented? Did they stop looking when they got back to 1945? Or did they just not look beyond US borders?

Indiana literally passed a bill yesterday that would criminalize homelessness as a class C misdemeanor

A $500 fine

Police: You can't sleep here

Person: I don't have money for a home

Police: Now you owe $500

Person: How is this helping anyone?

This is ludicrous

This is fair. Totally fair.

Did start one heckuva conversation though. Had a Centre '99 (me), a Centre '08, and a NKU '17 alum all telling stories.
