People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Here’s some context on just 3rd down penalties called on Chiefs opponents. Chiefs have the 2nd most 3rd downs in the NFL, but have gotten fewer calls on those downs than average.

elling a reporter in October that his company is worth billions. Mr. Trump called him a “highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the international scene.” The president-elect even lavished what may be his highest praise: a “dealmaker.” In fact, records show that Mr. Boulos has spent the past two decades selling trucks and heavy machinery in Nigeria for a company his father-in-law controls. He is chief executive of the company, SCOA Nigeria PLC, which made a profit of less than $66,000 last year, corporate filings show. There is no indication in corporate documents that Mr. Boulos, a Lebanese-American whose son is married to Mr. Trump’s daughter Tiffany, is a man of significant wealth as a result of his businesses. The truck dealership is valued at about $865,000 at its current share price. Mr. Boulos’s stake, according to securities filings, is worth $1.53. As for Boulos Enterprises, the company that has been called his family business in The Financial Times and elsewhere, a company officer there said it is owned by an unrelated Boulos family.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a cabinet choice. nyti.ms/41uQueD

This story is uh, insane www.cbsnews.com/news/police-...
Adair, Iowa, had a population of 794. So, it seemed suspicious when its three-person police department asked regulators to buy 90 machine guns, including an M134 Gatling-style minigun capable of shooting up to 6,000 rounds of ammunition every minute. Federal agents later discovered Adair's police chief, Bradley Wendt, was using his position to acquire weapons and sell them for personal profit. A jury convicted Wendt earlier this year of conspiracy to defraud the United States, lying to federal law enforcement and illegal possession of a machine gun. Wendt is unapologetic and has appealed his conviction. "If I'm guilty of this, every cop in the nation's going to jail," Wendt told CBS News just days before a federal judge sentenced him to a 5-year prison term. Wendt's crimes appear to be part of a nationwide pattern.

Lol. One week after the Economist published this chart showing the dude can't stop tweeting in the middle of the night, Elon removes time stamps from tweets.
Chart from the economist showing Elon's tweets based on time of day over time, showing him tweeting more and more and more frequently, especially after he took over Twitter. At first there's a little gap from around 4am to 10am, but it too gradually shrinks so that by now it looks like he tweets non-stop at any time of day. Also, a picture of a mind rotting from tweeters disease.

Seoul citizens block a military vehicle from advancing closer to the National Assembly at 2 am according to this article. Again, citizens willing to stand in front of the military and make them commit violence to support the coup. But military stands down.

Otherwise, the main threat to the dollar would be America gone wild, abandoning rule of law, seizing foreign assets with little provocation, making wild economic threats unrelated to real issues. But that can't possibly happen here.

The most comically stupid assumption most Americans hold is that they've been at rock bottom and that radical changes will only lift them up.
No sir. Your last few decades were almost the human ceiling in terms of good luck. You'll be moving in a surprise direction 👇 when a shake-up happens. Sorry!

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

This data from RMI is interesting, but it makes me wonder why gas furnace sales have dropped by 25% in the past two years. Anybody know why?
