Fiscally conservative, socially accepting. Vote blue because dems produce more durable good outcomes. Passions are the Outdoors, BWCA, animals and systems integrations.

Mr Bean takes a Holiday (train), super funny 😁
Hivemind, I have a challenge. Popular culture is dominated by the car (car chases, cop dramas etc), helping us accept a car-dominated urban environment as normal. Can you think of any examples of popular culture highlighting bikes, trams, walking etc? I can only think of A Streetcar Named Desire.

Omg, this is brilliant!

Just received our 2026 health insurance quote, it’s up 40% and the deductible goes up from $9k to $10k. We buy on the open market, no ACA subsidies.

our country can’t afford our medical industry.

Are health insurance increases going to be the thing that tips us into recession?

Shooting priests? Really? That’s assault, no immediate threat to law enforcement. Police need to prosecute the shooter.

Actions have consequences. No taxes on tips? No more tips from me. Recent Minimum wage hikes should provide good pay for staff.
Other changes also coming, money talks.
also organ grinders and their monkeys
Mike Johnson touts that "bellhops" will keep their tips as a result of the Republican bill

Stolen valor - describes taking credit for a made up military victory. Trump’s LA fiasco feels like a weak attempt at stolen valor. Thoughts?

Trump is a cheap date. He gave away the economy of the future, AI, for trinkets, a plane. History will compare Trumps deal to the purchase of Manhattan. The Middle Eastern countries will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Exactly!

Update - the actual text of the EO seems to indicate that the “This mechanism shall include the use of private sector pro-bono assistance for such law enforcement officers” refers to legal representation (aka the private firms he strong armed) and will likely be used to protect bad cops.

A whistleblower complaint filed by an IT staffer at the National Labor Relations Board claims Elon Musk and his DOGE team gained access to sensitive data that could have led directly to a “significant cybersecurity breach.”

This is serious. DOGE letting Russians copy huge amounts of your information is treasonous. This is info about each and every American. The kind of info that scammers and thieves use to steal your money
This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason
