It's 70 and sunny and the drive home from the gym with the half top on is absolutely restorative.

You know, if I could never hear about or be exposed to any information of any kind about Mr Beast ever again, that'd be lovely.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?
“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

Bears repeating of you're in this position...
If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It's not even noon and I've already 1) paid property taxes 2) set up recurring payments on Jamie's car 3) installed toll tag on said car 4) yeeted all the Christmas decorations into the attic.
This is an unfamiliar feeling.

Feels like it's been years (more like late November) but I'm finally to the garage glow up stage where I get to start putting things back in drawers. Gridfinity + Fusion + a 3D printer makes this quite satisfying.

Just got an alert on my phone that my phone, that I'm holding in my hand, is no longer located near me. 🙄

Taylor Swift is interesting to me because she proves that it's actually really easy to be not-hated-by-everybody even as a billionaire. She pays well, avoids saying problematic shit, and works hard. It's a low bar that most billionaires completely and utterly fail to clear.

Feels like a lot of shipments have just been falling into a void since the holidays. This pressure regulator was supposed to arrive on the 8th, hasn't been scanned since the 9t, and now UPS is just 🤷♂️
