So they're going to try to blame the airline crisis on DEI. Good luck with that.
Duffy: "We should do an investigation. I want to know -- are there DEI practices still in place? Because the president has been incredibly clear he wants the best and brightest air controllers controlling our skies. I agree with him on that. So we're gonna be an OIG investigation."

The MAGA playbook.
This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.
🧵I know what the Trump administration is doing to the country because they’ve already done it to rural America.

They stripped public schools of funding. They closed our hospitals. They sold family farms for parts. They let our infrastructure rot. And then they gerrymandered us to keep us quiet.

Republicans are just flat out lying at this point. Biden's tariffs were targeted on certain products to protect specific industries. Trump's new, high tariffs are blanket tariffs and yes, they are already affecting prices at places like Target and Best Buy.
BOLDUAN: Target and Best Buy said last week that prices are going up in direct relation to the tariffs. Is that a good thing for your constituents?

I know this seems like satire, but Newsweek doesn't do satire.
Honestly, how fucking stupid do you have to be to do this?
And still follow this orange moron and his legion of dimwitted dumbasses.

Oh, and fuck you if you voted for Trump, or didn't vote.

Military to remove 'Enola Gay' photos for violating DEI rules
A photo of Army biologists was on a list of images to be purged, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish that included their gender.

Once again, a sigh of relief and a hymn of praise as I see my Social Security check safely (I hope) in the bank. And a sold round of curses for the 🍑 clowns who are bringing this much anxiety upon my head. May they roast.

Seems with placing residential rentals, you really have to commit to it. If you change your mind and convert it to something else you’ll run into bugs. Better to roll back to a previous save from before you placed the residential rental if you’ve saved and want to change it to another lot 😬
#Sims4Bugs So far there seem issues with small business build on former residential rental lots:

Another difficult day. The devolution of our government and society makes me want to sleep, and to eat what's bad for me when awake. I may have to ease up on myself and allow Meta back in because being cut off from my friends makes it worse.
