FYI the real trouble you can get in is if you don't *file* your taxes. If you file but don't/can't pay, they can basically just charge you interest, at a rate that is lower than most credit cards.
Everyone should not pay their taxes and when they get audited just shriek ‘BUT the Dow… but the Dow is over 50,000’ over and over

For those of you posting this Free Speech Guy meme,
you’re on Bluesky shouting into the void.
If you want to be free speech guy, put on some pants and go to your local city council meeting.

I'm trying to think about which Star Trek characters haven't been brought back in the streaming era in some way and the major ones are O'Brien, Bashir, and B'ellana Torres, right?

You know, if you don't think stormtroopers are like Border Patrol (and vice versa), what exactly do you think is happening in this scene?

Someone on my mailing list took umbrage at my Ewok drawing because they're friends with people who work for Border Patrol, and can assure me that they are not fascists. Then they closed with "I like your non-political art though" which has now radicalized me into believing all my art is political.

Yes, they should lower the age threshold, but James van der Beek didn't use his free age 45 screening. He didn't know it was available to him, and he waited till he had been experiencing symptoms for a while.
Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"
