![Star Trek Lower Decks scene. Captain Freeman is pictured in Engineering near the warp core which glows blue and red behind her. There's another crew member working in the background. With her back to the previously mentioned warp core, Freeman stands looking down & reading a padd she's holding. Closed caption reads, "Her medical opinion is that you are "a [bleep] pile of stress."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i6ocendj65mmddfndihajsky/bafkreic3a4is22apx5ss6vtar2czn34mfhotkk7riw3q56in3wanbsddi4@jpeg)

Just a reminder that we had a couple of non-Americans dissect and review Chick's Thanksgiving tract "The Missing Day" a couple of years back.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

The idea of being born after 9/11 jolts me to my core. You didn't know. You didn't know the world before it was remade. Everything is thrown into the forge and recast. You see the fire for one day. But you see the world being remade years after.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

But it's called [doing the hands] Central Planning. Ok? It's really a beautiful term. You have to have a plan or else it's chaos. These companies are making billions of dollars and you've never seen anything like it. But we'll be releasing a beautiful five-year plan and you'll be very happy

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

This quote below is from Tom Murton, who was hired in the 1960s to reform Arkansas' worst prison. The governor fired him less than a year later after he started excavating unmarked graves of murdered inmates and inviting national media to write about it. Ended up running a duck farm.
