Bears repeating that social security is incredibly INCREDIBLY efficient to run. Its overhead costs are basically zero when you consider the size of the undertaking and the genuine benefits delivered. If anyone was interested in improving govt efficiency, the SSA would be their model not their target

RIP to the legend Gene Hackman. Trying to think of my top 5 movies. Definitely Hoosiers and The French Connection. Probably The Replacements and Crimson Tide. I guess I haven't seen a lot of his older stuff.

it’s not that this US administration has a different, competing version of what it means to do good. They know and even share our conception of good, and oppose it on purpose to make their enemies mad. Consciously, purposefully, gleefully evil.

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

So many rich guys living a fantasy where they're freeing children from traffickers even as they back a rapist in the White House who is pardoning sex criminals, gutting CSAM investigations, separating kids from parents at the border and endorsing the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children by Russia.

Later in the day, my son who does not at all care about basketball got a technical foul for "punching" another kid (he did not) in a CYO game, after which I calmly (🤐) explained to the very nice ref that if you say shit like that it had better be true.

There is video from yesterday of my soul leaving my body as I witness a ref call a loose ball foul with 7.7 seconds left in regulation. My 5th grade girls bball team is up one point at the time. The girl hits 1 of 2. We lose in overtime on a long jumper.

Lotta people talking about the new season of REACHER. I've never watched the show but am interested. I do have to ask though, having seen the film, why did they make a REACHER movie starring Tom Cruise, a very much not large man?

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.
