When I went to return books to the library, there was quite a crowd gathered. Turns out there's a manhole cover designed with Angels pitcher Yusei Kikuchi on it! These are installed in the hometowns of Japanese Major Leaguers, and of course Shohei Ohtani and Roki Sasaki's local areas have them too.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out (unmasked/in unmarked cars) protesters are dumping pounds of glitter on them.
So people can identify them as ICE for days afterward.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Our tech overlords are not interested in relieving humanity from the "burden" of everyday life tasks.
What they want is to make it *impossible* for any of us to navigate everyday life without passing through a toll booth that they control.

It's very likely that we have three or four shadow presidents (including people like Stephen Miller) who are *actually* calling the shots; Trump's brain-melted press conferences are more incoherent than ever, and there's a big story there for anyone with the courage and the access.

There's a very real story to be told right now about whether or not Trump is even capable of being in charge. If the press went in on that as hard as they did on Biden, I don't know what'd happen. But it'd likely be a damn sight better than them trying to vindicate themselves over 2024.

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%.
So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.
