I just saw a TikTok like “the motivations of assassins don’t make sense anymore” but boy have they never.

Hinkley shot Reagan to impress Jodi Foster. Oswald was such a complete mess people just assume the CIA did it. Guiteau killed Garfield because no one would make him an ambassador.

This little burglar busted a massive hole in the siding of my house last night. It’s been in our attic for a week avoiding the traps we set. At least he’s out I guess.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?
On Fox Business this morning, Chevron Chair and CEO Mike Wirth discusses all of the records that the company has broken last year.

"Record" production, record distributions to shareholders, etc...

Yet they're laying off 15%-20% of their workforce.

Vile.

Our service members should not have to deal with profiteering landlords jacking up their rents.

Secretary Hegseth should investigate and protect military families from predatory companies like RealPage.
With military housing costs skyrocketing, Democratic senators request Pentagon action
Lawmakers want to know whether landlords’ higher rents are based on a technology being probed by prosecutors.

Just finished Vampires of El Norte! Much heavier on the romance than the horror, but I could not put it down.

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

it is very telling of these guys’ conception of how power works that they see issuing a flurry of executive orders as evidence of presidential strength and vigor and not a sign that the president is too weak to pursue a serious legislative agenda
Real "Dear Leader" type shit here

Is #parentingsky a thing yet? I need recommendations for kid friendly educational websites that don’t require an app. Bonus points if it’s related to learning Spanish or science.
