I am 109% using this story next time I have to tell a client that no matter how bad things currently are: they can definitely make them worse.
See, Gunther was mad. He had been reduced in rank some time earlier, and he wasn’t about to let the war end without him making a name for himself one way or another.

So, against the orders of his sergeant, he decided one minute before the war’s end was a great time to charge a machine gun nest.

This is one of our calamondin trees. Grows great in a pot (if you water it a lot). Until now the fruit has been a bit sparse, this is the first time we’re getting a sizable crop from it.

We typically make drinks using the juice, it’s pretty tasty and definitely unique!

I have some *very bad news* about how entrepreneurs feel about buying health insurance.

This person literally has no idea how anything works.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

If this came out of an LLM it would fail every benchmark out there.
Trump on air traffic controllers: "A lot of people want the job. I was not happy when I saw all these people -- look, life is not so easy for anybody. Our country has never done better. We should not have had people leaving their jobs."

There are a few cheat codes in life.

“Either through complicity or incompetence, Chuck Schumer once again proved he cannot provide the type of leadership that young Americans demand. It is clear he must step down as caucus leader.”

Hey @padilla.senate.gov, we in CA would like to hear about YOUR role in tonight’s vote, including a detailed explanation of why you were not able to influence your colleagues.

🤬🤬🤬 I hope this isn’t true.

How many of the people affected have the level of financial sophistication to manage something like this?

How much of this is going to disappear into grift?

How much will just be lost to increased bureaucratic overhead?
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

Contacted my Senators, and told them to hold the line.

Also told them @schumer.senate.gov must be replaced as leader. He is too weak and out of touch with the electorate.

Cannot believe I am reskeeting Joe Walsh.

But here we are.
At this point, it’s utterly bonkers that any Democrat would trust any Republican to negotiate in good faith.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

The combo of walled-garden social media and AI replacing search means the death of the useful/open/free internet. Why would anyone create anything when it will just be summarized by AI and no one will ever see it? When social media deprecates outbound links, how will anyone find original content?

This would be the equivalent of the Sierra Nevada getting 57 FEETof snow. In a single day.
The Vietnamese Bach Ma Mountain Peak station recorded one-day rainfall of 1,739 mm - close to the global one-day record and perhaps a new record for the northern hemisphere. It is part of a deluge Viet Nam has seen in October, shattering 35 precip records. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/en...
Vietnam sees 35 rainfall records broken in October - VnExpress International
Vietnam's northern and central regions saw a total of 35 rain records broken in October alone as two storms, Matmo and Fengshen, caused unprecedented downpours.

Good! Keep it up @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

Even better: have your scheduler tell them you’re HAPPY to meet with them, then give them your earliest availability - a date that’s AFTER the end of your term.

Was at the drugstore and noticed they make Tylenol PM now.

I hear it’s popular, but I don’t understand why anyone would buy this.

I want my headache fixed NOW, not in 3 quarters when it can get me on the roadmap.
