No tax on tips or overtime starting Jan 1st doesn't mean much when people can't afford to tip and businesses aren't scheduling overtime because they're busy cutting jobs by record numbers.

To everyone who "wouldn't vote Harris" in 2024 because they "didn't want another Washington insider in the WH," look, I get it. The fed gov't has been crap for a long time. But the idea was to elect someone who'd improve it, not use it for personal enrichment and vendettas.

In the ongoing insanity of the US in 2025, I'm finding happiness where I can.
I'm super proud of the results of this weight-loss endeavor.

What I've learned over the past 10 weeks:
It's surprisingly easy to get used to not being hungry.
I took yesterday "off" (didn't count calories), but one modest plate of food (turkey, broccoli, roasted potatoes, 2 small rolls, side salad) had me STUFFED.
Today: 583 cals, body says "that's fine."

We've lived in this house for just over two years. I bought a stud finder within the first month. Today, at long last, I finally hung towel hooks in the bathrooms.
Woo!!

Tomorrow is my 2-month follow-up on this medicated diet.
Current bets for my loss this past month are 7 (son), 15 (partner), and 10 (me).
A small part of me is hoping I shock my doctor with my progress.

Pretty sure a convo something like this will happen with my Dr. next week:
Dr: "I said last visit your weight loss would slow down the second month."
Me: "Yup."
Dr: "What did you do, take that as a challenge?"
Me: "um....kinda?"

Can we please, for once, NOT NORMALIZE THE OUTRIGHT INSANITY of a sitting US President publicly calling for the murder of US citizens for "reminding our military that they are legally obligated NOT to follow unlawful orders"?
Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

I can't decide how I feel about calculus. Initially I hated it, but I'm beginning to see where it can be useful; problem is, I don't see myself falling into the careers where it'd be used. So like...it's kinda cool, but not as practical as Trigonometry or pervasively useful as algebra.

37 miles walked in 5 days; my feet have decided that's plenty. Besides, it's all thunderstormy outside, which is the ideal weather for curling up under a blanket with coffee and a book.

YESSSSS!!!! SUCK IT, ABBOTT, YOU SLIMY PIECE OF CRAP!!
MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trump’s redistricting power grab collapses.

If you've ever lost a notable amount of weight in a relatively short time (on purpose), you may understand the simple yet profound satisfaction of putting on an item of clothing you haven't touched in a decade and having it FIT.

He's a GOP apologist who does NOTHING and repeatedly lets Americans down. He's not an "opposition leader", he's a milquetoast never-was who thinks we live in Schoolhouse Rock.

What is it with Germans and creating electronic music? And what does it say about me that for the past twenty-ish years, over 70% of the times I discover a new electronic artist I really love, it turns out they're German?
