Do you love Anne Rice's vampire chronicles? I do! I've loved vampires ever since I read Interview with the Vampire in High School. I particularly loved the vampire protagonists, how they existed in a space that was very human and relatable.

The Great Egg Heist: 280,000 eggs disappeared from America’s top producer. Then came a ransom note.
As prices skyrocketed, and egg giant Cal-Maine raked in record profits, the company was hit by one of the biggest egg thefts in history.

DOGE decided this guy was dead (based on what, we have no idea). Shut off his Medicare and Social Security, and pulled two months of SSA payments out of his bank. Seems to be fixed now, but if DOGE order this change without a death certificate it is a very, very bad sign.
