Global entry cards are made from bomb proof plastic and expire after 5 years.
Social security cards need to last a lifetime and are made from the cheapest paper available.
This is the kind of thing we were hoping #DOGE would fix

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

It got some attention, but didn’t generate a ton of *reflection*. So we should change that. Last week Barack Obama asked what ought to be the Joseph Welch question for our generation. And it’s wild how long it took someone of prominence to put it this way. www.offmessage.net/p/obama-when...
"When Did That Become Okay?"
Barack Obama asks THE central question of the Trump era—one we should have been asking all along.

I was an early adopter of social media and for a long time it was a great space!
The last however many number of years saw a rapid destruction of that space.
I'm SO glad blue sky is here being us back to what a great social environment can be! And I'm encouraged to see more sport content arriving.

Hey Americans, feeling politically powerless? You have an election tomorrow. Fascists are targeting those boring state and local positions and using them for everything from abortion restrictions to book bans to criminalizing trans healthcare. It's up to you to stop them.
