Oh, seriously? That's not good. I need to go check his voting record.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just spent an hour chatting with an AT&T representative trying to fix my phone.
At one point this involved me using FB Messenger to have Cousin Nicole call Emmett so he could receive a PIN, so that could be relayed to me.
Anyway...I have to go to the AT&T store tomorrow to get a QR code.
Figures.

I don't think calling my senators will do any good, but calling my representative might possibly sway him a bit?
It might not, but they log calls the same as Dems and if they only hear from supporters that’s not great.

Your life is being taken over by QR codes.

And not in that sexy way we all associate with QR codes!
[I've fuckin' hated them since restaurants stopped handing out menus and would point at the QR code on the table! Fuck you, restaurants, there's NO FOMITE TRANSMISSION. Sorry. I hate them.]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
"NFL will remove 'End Racism' from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl. The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game."
Two freaking days after Roger Goodall said DEI would stay alive and well in the NFL.
I'm grossed out.

I know all OIGs were sent home, but I sent am email to the Treasury OIG fir tax admin naming the DOGE employees that have been identified as people I am concerned have possibly gained access to my tax information.
Probably does nothing, but felt good.
Those assholes need to be brought before Congress and have handed down to them whatever an unauthorized employee going into those systems would receive. Firing for one, fines? Banned from future security clearance? Added to watchlists?

There's a ton of federal cyber-security laws they are probably breaking. Not that it matters: nobody will prosecute any of them.
I had about ten minutes of hope that we would not be called into the office next week full time, but I was wrong.
As for Congress, I want the Democrats to be chaining themselves to the door of the Treasury Department. Filibustering for three days. Being sand in the gears. Stop voting for ANY of Trump's nominees. (And throw Fetterman the fuck out, he's getting to be as bad as Sinema. Strokes suck.)

Our wings are not tired.
We keep hearing this is illegal and that is illegal, but it doesn't matter if it will never be enforced.
The Dems are making noises about getting serious about stopping things in Congress. Why were they not ready to do this on day one? Did they learn nothing from Mitch? Be like Mitch! Don't approve anyone. No judges, including SCOTUS. Bring it to a complete halt. Tuberville brought things to a halt in the minority. Dig deep into the rules! Oh hey, use their playbook and break the rules!
