Once you scratch the surface you’ll find that a lot of these “ICE agents” are just LARPERS with zero background in law enforcement, and the fact that they have been given any authority at all is an absolute farce. That’s why they’re masked. They’re nobodies trying desperately to be somebody.

I can’t stop thinking about this ICE asshole in Memphis yesterday holding a firearm like that… one handed. That’s not how you fire off a pistol. You have zero control doing it that way.

Your daily reminder that gas is not, in fact, $1.88 a gallon anywhere in the United States…. And that the average price is still over $3 a gallon….

I think it’s sort of funny that my Pokémon GO avatar walks around checking to make sure she hasn’t stepped in poop.

There is little that is more unforgiving than Student Loan debt interest. I feel for those in default, or those that have stopped paying. The show goes on with that, and the interest accrues without mercy or quarter.

Eggs on the left 11/16/2024 . Eggs on the right 4/30/2025. It looks to me as if they’re not down at all. They’re up. Unless I just completely misunderstand numbers, and how they line up….

I think one of the wilder aspects of all of this is that Russia never exited the Cold War. They were still playing. We were still their enemy, and we were unknowingly entrenched in a proxy war. We went past it, and they didn’t. We lost because we didn’t even realize we were still fighting.

Everyone’s panic levels should absolutely escalate when that Minnesotan judge ends up in the El Salvadorian gulag. No. Seriously.

Weekly prices for 4/24/2025: **Spoiler: things aren’t any cheaper than they were under Biden. We can have two sets of alternate facts if we’d like (though there is only one truth here). Your wallet is not telling the lie….

I believe the correct response to a mass shooting is to say “our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families” while doing nothing to keep guns out of the hands of psychos, not “things like this happen”… because yeah, I guess, but, it shouldn’t.

Corporations and businesses should incorporate a “tariff” line on the receipt. Don’t just add that shit to the price of your products. Keep it separate just like you would any other taxes and fees. Let people know exactly where that money is going. Make them pressure lawmakers to stop this shit.

Folks that think China will bend on these tariffs really need to look into the Opium Wars.

I broke a tooth around old dental work on Saturday night on a butter mint. It sucked. The left over piece in my mouth was as sharp as a razor blade. It was cutting into my tongue when I chewed. Luckily I have insurance and was able to fix Monday morning. All of this to say, you want the fluoride.

Sending folks to foreign gulags without due process is chilling… It’s only a matter of time before this starts to happen to people that are natural-born citizens.

I spent $300 for TurboTax to help me figure out what I owed and/or didn’t owe the government this year. A figure the government already knew without me wasting my time and/or money…

Layoffs in the private sector are imminent. Plan accordingly.
