I have a delivery coming in two halves and the company called to confirm one half. I asked where the second half was and they said "some place that isn't real." I said, "the website says it's in Billerica" "yes, that's not a real place."

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Raised Catholic, I was confused by both Vance's original statement and the backlash against the common-sense truth behind it. Glad to remember to follow @jamesmartinsj.bsky.social here, who I miss from what was Twitter.

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

So, not only is MA--as is frequently the case--the largest single-party delegation in the country, but it borders three other ones. The combined population of our blue block is slightly higher than that red block. (≈ 12M ea)

This is mean and snotty but I don't care. When Romney said that 47% of Americans pay no Federal income tax and he took a big ding for it he wasn't lying. That number today is a bit over $50k/yr. 1/2
