The hard truth is that there are some products you just can't make in America. These must be imported from elsewhere. Like chocolates, for example. American workers will always become overwhelmed by the speed of the conveyor belt. They'll end up shoving the sweets into their mouths and blouses

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

and they want to do it ...

... in *a few months*

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here

Never forget that the AG of New York Letitia James investigated him and it was found that he sexually harassed at least 11 women. More than just accusations, this was investigated and confirmed. www.reuters.com/world/us/six...

Welp, the good news is the data is back on the CDC website. The bad news is it’s probably the last of its kind for a while.

Duolingo's mascot faked his death to get users to do their daily lessons, and attention from pop star Dua Lipa. Here's how he masterminded it — and why one expert sees the campaign as a success.
Duolingo's owl mascot is alive after all. What did it gain from faking his death?

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

I’m REALLY worried about this one. Could lead to bank runs we haven’t seen in since the 20s.
The next DOGE target could be the FDIC, which was already experiencing a staffing shortage before Trump's hiring freeze.

Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts.

Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

As lawyers righteously file multiple lawsuits against Trump & Musk’s coup, we must nonetheless recognize: the courts can’t “save” us. They won’t be the backstop protecting us from this takeover. The only thing that can save us is us.
The Courts Can’t Stop the Trump-Musk Coup
While the lawsuits being filed against the Trump-Musk administration are righteous, they will not “save” us from this nightmare.

Read history. Oligarchs have owned and controlled our government before. They’ve attacked oppressed groups, gone after migrants, and enacted mass violence against workers who dared resist. But people kept fighting. They organized. They built power. What we need to do is not unprecedented.

The FDA has upgraded its December recall of some chocolate- and yogurt-covered products made by Cal Yee Farm to its highest level of severity.

Welp, my professor said this would happen…the BRFSS dataset, which I’m using for my thesis has been scrubbed from the CDC website. It has one of the most robust datatsets on trans people. Poof. Gone. I feel ill.
