@djangowexler.bsky.social I’m only a third of the way through TOWOIU and already sad that I’ll be done soon. Can you share how long the series is expected to be and when book 2 might come out?

$500 "Obamacare refund" checks are going out. No, they’re not tax refunds. And no, you didn’t pay a separate $500 fee that’s now being returned. Here’s who should expect one, where the money came from, and what you need to know: www.taxgirl.com/2026/10/02/5...

Why can’t there be a tv show like Dancing with the Stars but instead of teaching dancing, experts teach contestants math/science/history/literature/art etc and then they get quizzed and someone goes home each week (not a knock on dwts, I just wish we elevated other things as well)

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

Erin's reporting is, as always, impeccable. What many may not know, however, is that once a license is issued, the holder has a property interest in that license that is protected by the 14th Amendment. This goes back to Bell v Burson (1972). For more, keep reading... 🧵
