@tednbc4.bsky.social My premiums are listed as "only" going up $200. Well. For now. I don't know if that will stay the same if the subsidies don't keep going. The uncertainty is literally making my health worse, but losing health insurance may (also literally) kill me.

That "possibly" is currently my favourite word ever!
Video screens throughout the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s headquarters were taken over by possibly AI-generated images purporting to show President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, with the text “Long live the real king.” wapo.st/41flayF

While Democracy Burns, Democrats Prioritize… Demolishing Section 230?

I have switched to oat milk for the most part because I like the flavour more than Lactaid. But. Goose (my cat) does not like oat milk. I have to remind him of this every morning when he curls up in my lap and noses at my finished cereal bowl and he looks so disappointed 🤣

My daddy was arguably one of the best #COBOL programmers out there when he was actively programming. He and Admiral Hopper are frothing at the mouth in the afterlife. (Also as a side note, this highlights issues with legacy coding...)
