It does beg that question, doesn't it? Because no one is.
Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

You know the economy's doing super great when my 6" Subway tuna sandwich today was $8.50. That's a Subway sandwich. 6". Tuna, no bells. No whistles.

I was just opining to my sister the other day that I thanked God for Biden in 2020 bc if we didn't have that AT THE VERY LEAST we could (and now seems likely would) still be in the grips of Covid. He allowed us to implement the vaccine and saved lord knows how many lives. JFC I hate this timeline.

What it is really is other countries will get the Nobels and the contracts and the kudos and we'll be behind every curve imaginable. Hard to continue to tout "the greatest" when we're last in everything.
When the inevitable happens, and people are dying from shit that this research could have saved I don't want to see the people responsible confronted with an "I told you so".
I want to see them confronted with a nail-riddled baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.

Current obsession: #Hitmakers on Netflix. Binged whole season (6 eps) over weekend. I love getting to be a fly on the wall of other writing experiences, witnessing the process. This one about writing potential hit songs. Every one a legit bop. Amazingly talented humans. No villains. So cool.

The only positive I can see from this (which believe me as someone on the Exchange is not positive enough) is that they're not waiting til after the mid-terms to implement this garbage like some of their other horrible measures. So hopefully people will be clear-eyed and outraged at the right time.
Thanks, GOP!
Thanks, Trump!

ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows
A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.

A lot of people are (rightfully) sharing The Cosby Show Gordon Gatrell scene to honor #MalcolmJamalWarner but my favorite of his is this Key & Peele. May you forever "Get those pants." RIP sir. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1gH...

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Searching the #PageAwards QF list to see if my script made the next round. No shit, really?? There's my script listed named KILLER TECH -- written by Thomas Hirschler. Ha. Psych! Guess there are two scripts named Killer Tech out there and mine's not the good one. 😂
