There's also the bullshit $90 Medicare bonus, overriding Congress's $2B expenditure to upgrade the system. Here's part of the email.

CONGRESS provided $2B to make improvements to the Medicare program for Americans enrolled in traditional Medicare. F*ck this guy for overruling Congress to send out a measly $90 to enrollees instead of improving the entire system as Congress, our representatives!, voted to do. @sssamn.bsky.social

"Congress provided 2 Billion Dollars to make improvements to the Medicare program for Americans enrolled in traditional Medicare. I believe the best way to do that is to put healthcare dollars back where they belong—directly in the hands of the American People."

"As a result, you are receiving a One-Time Payment of $90 to offset some of the cost of your October Medicare premium. This will ensure these funds benefit YOU and your individual healthcare needs."

So - not better website and phone access and whatever else.

Fuck that guy.

At odd moments, I take a break and block the last few days' scam calls. I will not mind finding other ways to live my precious life.

Not much to see here, mate. Just a consecutive list of blocked scam calls with different scripts spanning a couple days.

New hypothesis. 8XX phone numbers were invented as a profit center, and it's biggest customers now are scams. In this case, the transcript left out a line that was corrected in a subsequent call. The AI voice has cute sighs and chortles now. So very human. Blocked. For what that's worth.

Transcript of a scam call from someone who thinks I'm in the market for a loan. This one, read by an AI female voice, says if I don't pick up she loses a bet that she can reach me. At least they are admitting that they have been unsuccessful. Why do they think this social engineering will work now?

Possibly affiliated with the loan scam is this one saying they can help with a fake tax issue. But look for tells that it's bs. Check the senseless language in this one. If they can make you think you need a wad of money for taxes, you might be interested in that loan...

What is a unified return? What has compounded interest have to do with this? "past due tax eligibility" - what the fuck is that?

Since April these spam calls, sometimes 5-6/day. Phone is set to screen at top Wild Hysteria level. Valley Girl AI voices mostly, but now straight male/female voices with social arm twisting, like I better do them a personal favor or I'm cheating their careers or insulting them. 🤣🤣🤣

Spam call transcript screened. A named AI voice, Jake, says he personally reviewed a loan I'm approved for (that I did not apply for) for a $57K+ loan at, I think this one is 5%>. Some are 6%. But then he turns the screws - he put in the time. Like I should be impressed. Yeah, I block these multiple times a day, but frankly they won't give up because some servers somewhere have my phone number. This is part of my life.

I want to know how many Wordle players face a unique scenario each day. @nytimes.com

The NYT says there's nothing more to say than a player played Wordle in a unique way. We could know how many players played uniquely. What might that tell us?

My last bar of 😍 Nancy Boy soap, in the Sweetgrass scent. This California company folded up less than 3 months after the 2024 presidential elections. They had to be thinking about the consequences. Also gone - my laundry and dishwashing soap. Now looking for non-culty non-corporate stuff.

I can't bring myself to be sad about this.

Multiple media outlets (The Hill, The Guardian, and a local DC television station), announced the cancellation of the July 4th parade due to extreme temperatures (up to 115F). It is not mentioned in The NYT. WHAT climate crisis?

Post a random picture or everything else will go bad in July.

I was born 10 days "late". Who knows what was going on. But my parable is that I, as a fetus, did not want to transition (yet). So some years I celebrate my First Birthday. The day I was supposed to be born but decided not to.

Portrait of a failed wanna-be hero but still a washed up loser felon.

Trump walks by, leaning forward with his jacket cuff covering the back of his right hand, long hair less kept than usual, a (sigh) look on his face that I am at a loss to describe, a wall at the G7 meetings looking like the miserable 80-year old schlub that he is. This is not a portrait of power or confidence.

This stream is unexpectedly relaxing.

The MS NOW live stream on YouTube showing the removal of Trump's name from the Kennedy Center exterior at approaching midnight Friday night June 12th. No letters off yet; they're still finishing the construction workers scaffolding. Off-camera, a lively crowd has gathered to enjoy the proceedings. Cow bell, car horns - sounds like a large street party. 🎉

85 THOUSAND people are watching online.

So it doesn't affect care to stop allowing NEW home health and hospice agencies from opening. Seems like the draconian response of an ineffectual government agency.

NOTE: To root out fraud, Medicare has temporarily stopped allowing new home health and hospice agencies from opening. This doesn't affect your care.

The very picture of weakness. Photos from @nytimes.com

The US president looking from and worn out while shaking hands with the Chinese president.

The US president awaits his crass American dinner with a look of boredom and perhaps a bit of despair, dispassion, and jet lag. His jacket looks padded to exhibit more body presence in the shoulders. Sleepy Stupid Donnie. But hey. At least his hair is done.

This partnership is bogus. @nytimes.com in bed with disgusting Walmart. No trust in Wirecutter going forward. Now less trust in The New York Times.

Ad on New York Times mobile edition says "Wirecutter Has Just Teamed Up With Sam's Club. Get expert-approved products at the shopping club made for you." A neon blue button says "Join the Club".

Sam's Club is a unit of Walmart, a company infamous for diminishing the power of small businesses everywhere.

All that facework, makeup, hair, and jewelry. For what. Party's over. And it's a beautiful day.

A closeup of half of Noem's dollface, taken the day after Alex Pretti's shooting. Shows a LOT of foundation, the fake eyelashes and teeth, and the kissable bulbous baby lips. Maybe Corey can get her a new blankie.

Picture this future scenario: Women in power don't present as teenage mean girls with too much foundation, false eyelashes, trad wife hair, and 'kiss me' lips.

Close-up of Kristi Noem's face at the Minneapolis press conference after the second killing of an unthreatening American citizen. The foundation does not adequately obscure her huge cheek pores. Her eyes convey fear.
