I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:
Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

The White House contended that The Post “lied” by writing that the NIH funding change would cut biomedical research funding.
Susan Collins, after hearing from her constituents: “these cuts … would be devastating, stopping vital biomedical research and leading to the loss of jobs.”

Jaco was so proud that Ray Brown was playing his bass. I snapped this photo backstage/downstairs at the Hollywood Bowl in 1981 during the 3rd annual Playboy Jazz Festival there. Weather Report hit the stage shortly after this picture was taken, as I recall.

It's ok to laugh, even when the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
Laugh while you still can.

I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But.
Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system.
For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!

Does anyone know why people repost with an image rather than a link to the post? It makes it so cumbersome to go to the post, and possibly look at the author’s other posts and subscribe. They’re doing the author, and reader, a disservice.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.
