remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

Biden pre and post Oct 7 is a dichotomy fit to drive you truly insane.
Bro burned the world for an obsession with destroying Gaza. Before Oct 7 he was doing so much meat & potatoes good governance. I used to go to repro health conferences hosted by him or Harris or his wife now it's all on fire.

Real lives are being destroyed and snuffed out every day that this policy is allowed to continue and the people who devised it are not in jail. I know we all know this, but I feel like it's important to say it from time to time.

This is true of every contemporary political position: "Democrats are weak," "data centers consume too much water," and on and on. People hear a resonant opinion from people they socially align with, and they add it to their belief system. The large number of opinions you hear daily is what's new.

LOLsob this is diabolical: "A 2024 Redfin analysis from found empty-nest baby boomers own 28% of the country’s largest homes, those with three bedrooms or more; and millennials with kids own only 14%." I don't know how you fix this other than to just build extravagantly fortune.com/article/baby....

Boomers are setting up a showdown with millennials, aging in place and plunking down hundreds of thousands on renovating those homes | Fortune
Millennials need homes, but because of high home prices and mortgage rates, baby boomers have little reason to sell.

Meal deliveries can save money and improve health. Will they survive Medicaid cuts?
Some states deliver meals to Medicaid patients that address their dietary needs. Evidence shows it aids recovery and saves healthcare costs, but federal budget cuts may lead some states to cancel it.

The right has a convincing story: you don't have enough because the government, controlled by Jews, is giving your rightful money and opportunities to illegal immigrants and urbanites. It's a complete load of horseshit, but it's simple, straightforward, and provides a very obvious solution.

YouTube has been serving me wedding content (no idea why) and it's sort of astonishing looking back what a sort of DIY, seat-of-the-pants, half-broke wedding we had. No DJ/band, just iTunes! No wedding dress, just a Macy's schmatte! No sound system at the ceremony (my mom was so mad about that)!

I report on ICE flights because flight-tracking allows us to get a lot of information about the Trump regime's mass torture of immigrants. But man, someday, the buses will be just as notorious as the planes. We have gulags in the sky, AND we have gulags on wheels.

At some point, @slate.com decided that the advice columns don't need copyeditors, which is how we end up with howlers like this one, literally a Jason Mendoza joke from The Good Place
"Frankly, if they’d been having sex, I would have understood it more (we are ethnically non-monogamous), but it feels like I got bamboozled into a polycule to which I didn’t consent." 

The word "ethnically" has been highlighted by me.
