A) all things on the ground and roaches are eating the rotten food

Side note: The HHS appropriations bill that passed as part of the minibus has ZERO anti-trans riders in it. It will almost certainly pass the House.

Still stunned at the parallels between B5, a series that came out 30 years ago, and the events of our current day.

So far this show has made me ask the deep questions, for example:
If Jack the Ripper was preserved by aliens for 400 years and reappeared, given there is no statute of limitations, could he and should he be charged with those murders?

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

The striking gap between real disposable income growth, which stood at just 1% y/y in November 2025, and real consumer spending growth at 2.6% y/y, suggests that the current pace of spending is unlikely to be sustained
