I do think eating an orange in a public space, particularly an enclosed one, should be a federal offense

They keep using this line and it's nonsense for many reasons, but also, if that's truly the case, there are only about a dozen "fraudsters" per state: the insurers. No one else could benefit from this particular no-claims "fraud." So where are the prosecutions of health insurers? 🤔

I don't really keep up with the magic story because I never find myself with the time to sit down and read the short story episodes so I figured I would try the "podcasts" and remembered how deeply I dislike audiobooks

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Therapist is having me keep a log of how many "productive" hours vs what I'm calling executive dysfunction hours I'm experiencing each day and I'm (ir)rationally annoyed because of the likelihood of Hawthorne Effecting myself into being more productive than I usually am and biasing the results

I do think if the polling holds up that a sub-200 minority for the Republicans is possible in the House, and that just makes me very happy

It's very funny to me that you could read this very paragraph as applying to the literary world's preference for awarding books about white history, before the "DEI" era he's actually complaining about

It's fully insane by the way that a runner can fully get laid out by running into their own defender who is being shoved into them, then get back up and keep running and it's an open question if he's "down"
