There was a time you could go to a Greyhound station that looked like this Art Deco masterpiece (now a museum in Arkansas). Now the station would be down two flights of concrete steps into a packed, cacophonous room lit with a single light bulb next to a pawn shop's dumpsters.

This hideous, unnecessary, and hugely expensive monstrosity is literally glued together. Every single one is under recall. How is this not a metaphor of our culture? Outwardly showy and shiny, inwardly a glued together pile of crap.

Did you know that the migrant detention facility at Guantanamo is run by a private contractor? The contract with Akima goes into 2029, but Elmo loves to cancel contracts and give them to himself. He's already planning the rebranding.

This is unfortunate considering how they are unveiling the new Reichvan.

"I am passionate about creating a better healthcare experience and improving health outcomes." - Amy Gleason, new (supposed) head of DOGE. Yes, I'm sure the unauthorized sensitive data access and mass illegal firings will lead to improved outcomes and experiences.

There have been a number of right arms at 45° lately.
