I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

I found out last night that one of my neighbors died a few weeks ago. He was forced into early retirement by DOGE & the stress of having to get all the right paperwork back to them on a short & inconsistent time line spiked his BP so much he had a stroke & fucking died. DOGE killed my neighbor.

Sounding way more intoxicated than he actually was, he said, “Wait, I got it,” and tapped the house’s feed to turn on the lights. And I was standing in the middle of the room. He screamed. (Yes, it was hilarious.)

The party was a great success. The princess listened with fascination as a dragon and a librarian were discussing storage and organizing of books. "You two have so much in common!" she exclained. "What? No! They share books," the dragon growled, disgusted. "Indeed," the librarian said with pride.

ugh, CNBC reporting on Tariff cuts but ignoring increased Tariffs on certain countries. Stop praising the guy who changes international trade policy based on the last person to leave the room. #sigh

The IRS agreed to share legally protected taxpayer information with DHS and ICE. Federal law clearly protects taxpayer privacy. This agreement is illegal. This is an assault on every single taxpayer's rights and will destroy lives.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 4/7 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Once again I am trying to pull ahead a bit, as I'm off to another Magic the Gathering show (www.laughingdragonevents.com/ldxp-sc2025/) I shouldn't complain, these are the closest thing I'll get to a vacation for awhile.

It is perfectly calculated to hurt countries that are 1) poor 2) really need the export income 3) can't afford to import much from the US

Oh lord, CNBC reporting on Trump adding more Tariffs of 50% on China. Then canceling all meetings with China. When will people (especially MAGA / GOP) realize that the man who Bankrupted casinos has no idea how economics work he is just using words. So 104% tariffs? #CNBC
