Shopping for women’s clothing in 2025:
- the only colors are white, black, and a smattering of beiges
- all skirts and dresses are tiered, prairie trad-wife style
- all swimsuits are thongs

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

I’m so happy my 14 year old cat is feeling better on her arthritis injections, I just didn’t know it would bring out her youthful 2:30 a.m. bed-pouncing zoomies again.

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

Replacing systems is expensive. And if you’re being a good steward of taxpayer money, you only do it when the cost/benefit is right, not just because it’s old. Also you bid out the project, you don’t just grant it to an evil billionaire.

BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.
DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Minneapolis rental listing asks prospective tenants to pay $1,000/mo to manage the landlord's Airbnb. They'd be required to immediately clean and vacate whenever it's booked. Rent would be deducted an unspecified amount for each day the tenant is unable to stay in the home.

My theory is that most millennials were raised by boomers (when they were younger, more liberal) while Gen Z was raised by the also trumpy Gen X.

This proves that in order to save democracy, Gen A/alpha needs a goofy name rather than a letter.

Trump and Republicans set this up as an unprecedented power grab so they can slash and burn government services on their terms.

Yo @amyklobuchar.com have you been getting my messages? We constituents deserve to know which way you’re going to vote on cloture. Please uphold the power of the legislative branch and vote No.

Feels like I'm leaving money on the table by not doing a scam or swindle of some kind. Would you guys buy a car for $100,000 if I pretended it can drive itself. What about a fake currency

I know they don’t care about hypocrisy but any other president shilling electric cars at the White House would be an endless news spin cycle about taking your big freedom trucks away.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
