the attorneys were taken off the case while a transportation department spokesperson speculated they published the document as an act of sabatoge.

The GOP, to maintain consistency, must now go after Pete Hegseth for his leak of secret government war plans as Pete’s leak was “an act of sabotage”.

I was wondering about that, but I have the same problem I wasn’t willing to plug it into google to check the spelling.

Thanks for letting me know.

Increases in defense spending and increases in tax cuts for the rich (which isn’t really spending more, but reduces government revenue which thereby increases budget deficits.

One example given by the employee included an announcement by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy that workers needed to obey a dress code.

“why are people leaving?!” /s

I know this is a regularly spoken fear about taxing rich individuals “that they’ll leave and take their wealth with them”. Some countries like China have strong laws/rules preventing or capping money transfers out of China which is one approach to this. I don’t like this approach, but its at least something.

Perhaps we should let the rich leave the country and take their money with them, but the consequence could be that they can’t come back. By that I don’t mean they can’t move back to the origin country, but they can’t even visit. Perhaps countries that have the rich leaving could even build a reciprocity list. As in, a rich person moving out of the UK would not be allowed to visit the UK, but would also not be allowed to visit the USA, etc.

Essentially eventually building a system that shows “you can take your money with you, but you’ll have no where to spend it”. Yes, there will be those countries that welcome the people and their wealth, but nations of the world can further isolate those countries. Just a thought.

trump “doesn’t have the cards”, to use his type of speech.

I’d change that as : “Being an adult is mostly realizing you didn’t look as bad as you thought you did because the only person that was concerned about that was you. Everyone else was doing their own thing focusing on themselves, just like they are now.”

Either extreme is a bad fit. Luckily those aren’t the only two choices.

So I choose a single generalist device that can do everything to at least and “okay” level, then specialized one-off devices that I need capabilities that go beyond the generalist device for that specific need. I read books on an ereader, but if I’m out and about and want to read and don’t have my ereader with me, I’ll read on my phone. So I get the best of both worlds.

This isn’t a new concept introduced with electronics. Forty years ago people were having this same conversation except it was the Swiss Army knife vs carrying dedicated individual tools. A Swiss Army knife is not a great screwdriver, but compared to having nothing, or having to carry around a full sized screwdriver everywhere, a Swiss Army knife becomes a wonderful screwdriver in that situation.

Bessent criticized Musk for overpromising and under-delivering budget cuts with DOGE. Musk clapped back by calling Bessent a “Soros agent”

Wait, so Musk is using that kind of internet-edgelord speak in actual real life, and in the White House no less? Elon, lay off the Special K.

We’ve been using the wrong spelling all this time. It’s: Make America Grate Again

So yes, we have an unpleasant rasping sound as our economy and civil rights grind to a halt.

Fiber is, for the most part, indigestible, your body can’t really break it down into simpler sugars that it can make use of.

And just for clarity, just because humans can’t break those down doesn’t mean the entire animal kingdom can’t. So its fiber to us, but usable carbs for lots of other creatures.

Whenever she gets home, the fist things she does is taking off her socks,

Watch her take off the socks noting where she leaves each one. Could we be seeing a higher rate of lost socks because of how she chooses to discard the left sock from her foot vs the right sock? Is there perhaps a piece of furniture underneath which is all the missing mates to her socks?

“The protests that you’ll see out there, they’re very organized. They’re paid for,” he said, without evidence.

No. When you do a double seig-heil on national television we protest for free.

I think we may have FOUND the microplastics magnet. Plaques in our bloodstreams from the article. They were finding MUCH higher concentrations of microplastics in the plaques. My laymen guess is that the plaques themselves are more “sticky?” to microplastics and collect them. The only downside right now is that means we stroke out when the “magnet” gets full.

The difference in plastic quantities surprised him, but his team found another concerning trend, too. Cells in the plaque with lots of plastic showed different gene activity than those with low plastic. In the high-plastic environment, one group of immune cells had switched off a gene that’s associated with turning off inflammation. Clark’s team also found genetic differences in a group of stem cells thought to help prevent heart attacks and strokes by reducing inflammation and stabilizing plaque. “Could it be that microplastics are somehow altering their gene expression?” Clark said.

Well thats certainly concerning!

I’m way ahead of them. I self sterilized. I don’t want any hand in bringing more people into this shit show.

A camp? Its not like he’s ever suggesting sending people to camps before. Oh wait:

See? Its not a camp, its a “wellness farm”. Aren’t you relieved now? /s

I have to assume it was this pill:
