I struggle to communicate effectively about the arcane (but important!) privacy laws that DOGE smashed, and about the people who care about those laws and who stood up against DOGE. Michael Lewis has communicated it very well here and I'm looking forward to picking up his book!

I’ve figured out something important about the IRS, Gavin said. He paused for effect.

Oh no, thought Kathleen.

Every agency has a superpower, said Gavin. The IRS’s superpower is data.

Everyone in the agency knew that its data was valuable. That was the reason for the strict laws that prevented it from being exploited for profit or political gain. “He said this in a way that he expected everyone to clap when he was done,” said Kathleen.

Criminal Minds blamed one too many murders on "he was in foster care as a child" and I, who spent my career working in foster care, could no longer handle it.

I manage to get away with $13,128 a year for my small business (and I expect it to go up another 10% this year). That's for a single-person policy with a $6,000 deductible, so other than getting a few routine things for free or at a discounted rate, I basically won't use it unless I'm hit by a bus.

Some of my dearest friends today were people I "met" on an online bulletin board in 2001. We spent hours talking about books, cooking, current events, money, jobs, kids, pets, it was amazing.

Please please please stop making a big deal out of the G7 reserves release. Yes, it’s 100 million barrels over 4 months. We - the planet - use 100 million barrels of crude every…single…day. Almost literally a drop in the bucket.

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.

One of the reasons, and it is a large reason, is that Big-Media works to keep those who buy ads 'happy.' There is no reason why this should be a 'Times Exclusive.'

That's when I knew I wasn't going to try to preserve the internship. You're late. You're on thin ice for attendance. Your field advisor has been cooling her heels in our office for 45m. You know there is hot water and tea available in the office. And you decided to take the time to stop for tea?!?

I honestly don't remember if any of my interns came to their interviews with an iced coffee in hand. I do remember the intern who had an internship preservation meeting with her field placement advisor and me, who was already 30m late, and who came into the building with a fresh hot tea in hand.
