Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

In Yoshi's Island, all Shy Guys are the same object. A Shy Guy's color is decided solely by its initial spawn point in the level. I have taken the liberty to fill a level with Shy Guys to create a Shy Guy coloration matrix.

Started watching Severance finally, and while it's definitely great, do not - DO NOT - watch it while you're slowly becoming delirious from the flu. The past 48 hours have been haunting.

Ok, we need a new James Bond AND a new Archbishop of Canterbury, and pretty soon it'll be time for another new Willy Wonka and a new Doctor Who. We need to economise. They should all be amalgamated into a single new character called Archdoctor Bondwonka.

I suppose few people have a greater motivation to go "dark mode" than him, but he's just one more example of what Trump does to all his "allies"—uses them up and throws them away. There are no counterexamples. He's a parasite infested with more parasites.

“Accidentally” — no - as with the nuclear safety people and everyone else they were deliberately fired with malice aforethought and the effort to control the gratuitous damage by trying to rehire them is a reminder that the ones who do need firing are the firers www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Murphy: "Donald Trump's contempt for the rule of law is unprecedented. What we are all watching right now is Donald Trump throw away the idea that laws apply to everyone equally. And it is astonishing to watch so many of my Republican colleagues fall in line."

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

It’ll never be funny to me that one of the biggest companies in history lit itself on fire and burned through $100,000,000,000 trying to make something that pales in comparison to what bored and horny furries have built for free

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

I’d argue 99% of a time a Republican says the words “free speech” they’re referring to hate speech. Kinda gives away the game.

Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner
