"deeply held religious beliefs" are shorthand for I still believe in ghost stories and fairy tales
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I buy zigzags in bulk

Did Nazi this coming.
Breaking news: A group of nearly 50 White South Africans landed as refugees Monday, coming to the U.S. under a humanitarian designation meant for people fleeing war or persecution that the Trump administration has suspended for all other groups worldwide.

The arrival of 49 Afrikaners under an executive order that alleges they’ve faced racial discrimination restarts refugee admissions that were suspended for all other groups by the Trump administration.

You’re the Senator, we are counting on you to do everything possible.
No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Nazi says what?
Elon Musk is calling out the political left, claiming they’re pushing “fake Nazi” accusations and ignoring anything positive about him. He says their goal is to destroy his influence, and calls them evil. Thoughts?

COBOL is a genuinely archaic programming language. But trying to do this in a rush is INSANE. And you can bet a huge, huge number of things are going to break. Even in very simple code bases, understanding the levels of dependencies built up over decades takes a huge amount of time.
BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

They may own it, but we all will be paying for it.
Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
