Sorry haven’t read thread yet. Hope it’s not out of place. Been trying to potty train our 2 year old for last two days, now I’m sitting in the dark in her room as she sleeps on my left arm, so I’m typing slowly with one thumb. Lol

My bad. Thanks for letting me know

I think his time at DOGE is like the story of the Greece boy who flew too close to the sun.

Sad but very nice and heartwarming.

Since they fall under the Moscow Patriarchy, they’re co-opted. Lock, stock and barrel.

@Horace said in Cavity search and deportation of a US Soldier’s wife: @Axtremus said in Cavity search and deportation of a US Soldier’s wife: @Horace said in Cavity search and deportation of a US Soldier’s wife: If factual, then at worst, one can weave a narrative of an emboldened immigration officer at the airport, going rogue and completely mad. Nah … you’d figure that would be multiple reviews and approvals by supervisors and supervisors of supervisors before a visitor is put on a return flight. You can argue whether it’s a large systemic issue or small systemic breakdown, but not the doing of one rogue agent. How many entries have there been even at that airport, and how many of these anecdotes do we have? How systemic do you suppose it could possibly be? My other anecdote was while waiting in line in Boston, a middle-aged Indian woman who was being interviewed absolutely and totally lost it, and became completely hysterical. Eventually she had to be restrained and escorted out by a bunch of immigration officials. As we were riding the elevator down, one of the people who'd been interviewing her turned to us and said 'All we did was tell her she couldn't have an aisle seat'. I'm afraid I LOL'd.

I opened my trading app and saw futures were up a little. So naturally I went straight to truth social.

No chance of cronies trading inside info.

@mark said in Should we consider transitioning to an S Corp?: I got out of that mess a few years ago. Dissolved my S Corp and work mostly for W2 income now. I still do some side hustle work which is 1099 based. I I went that way too. My LLC still technically exists but it wasn’t worth bothering with. With W2 I could collect unemployment between gigs. As I got older I got pickier about what Work I’d take. And don’t get me started on the Covid bonanza.

And it’s Chinese.

@jon-nyc needs to meme that.

If he descends into complete irrelevance, a confession might still be in the cards. That note reads like he still has a career, and maybe he does.

I like the beep beep

Im very aware of Bo Winegard. He would appear in Quilette occasionally

@taiwan_girl said in Tucci in Italy: @Horace Where are you going in Italy? Florence and then Tuscany. I'm looking forward to the steak restaurants. I'll probably have to avoid the exact one Tucci talked about, since it'll be overwhelmed by American tourists. With my new diabetes diet I can't really eat much in the way of pasta or pizza or desserts, but maybe I'll cheat a little bit.

The best people.

You don’t want Constitution Ave. to be the next Broughton Suspension Bridge.
