Every time a different one of these a-holes opens their mouth I have to change my Worst Living Person rankings.

I’m sure the president will throw the floor open to like, war stuff, or to see if Tim Tebow has any ideas about lowering gas prices.

In Maine that might be enough.

I actually take him at his word that he’s not a Nazi and that at this point in his life he’s anti-fascist. But he’s shown over and over that his judgment is bad and he’s getting caught in an obvious lie. Character has to matter.

If she came on as a senior war advisor or whatever I'd be like, okay, well, at least they hired an adult for once.

I’m not in the habit of intervening financially on behalf of elderly politicians in other states’ primaries but I’m thinking about it. This guy will lose the general election.

You're telling me the only way to drive from New Jersey to Connecticut is to take this complicated double-decker bridge into Manhattanβ€½

IT: Here's a new domain password.
Me: Thanks! That doesn't work. It's possible there's an extra step that was missed, because that happened the other day.
IT: Here's another new password.
Me: Thanks! That finally worked.
IT: Happy to help.
Me: I hate you very much.

Me to client's IT: Hi, looks like someone just changed my domain password but now it isn't working. It's possible there's an extra step that was missed, because that happened the other day.
IT: Okay. {RESETS VPN PASSWORD}
Me: Hi, looks like my VPN password was reset but I need my domain pw reset.

Client, two days later: I have had IT change your password. Here is your new one.
Me: Today? We got it working the other day.
Client: Yes, just now.
Me: That password doesn't work and the one that was working an hour ago no longer works.
Client: Okay, talk to IT.

Me to client: Hi, looks like my domain password expired for your servers. I am in contact with your IT to resolve.
Me to IT: Hi, looks like my domain password expired for your servers.
IT: Here's a new password.
Me: That doesn't work.
IT: Oh sorry, try again. I missed a step.
Me: That works, thanks!

Always read the fine print on your futures contracts! The marriage you save may be your own.

My wife was not happy when I lined our basement with pool tiles and took physical delivery of 1,000 barrels of oil upon the expiration of my speculative futures contract, filling said basement to the depth of seven feet, but I think the financial results really speak for themselves here.

you can sum up Philadelphia's infrastructure pretty tidily by just pointing out that this person didn't throw away their BIG HOLE sign because they knew they'd need it again

Happy to hear that my theory that movies with exclamation points in the title are almost always interesting (even if they're bad) is holding up once again.

Opening weekend, take two: Slate Belt theater marks milestone with special double-bill 623 and counting. That's how many different films have graced the big screen at the Gap Theatre since its grand reopening a year ago.

The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Map The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Map is an interactive tool providing a sampling of proven instances of election fraud across the U.S. From @HeritageDataviz

But the fact that this prosecution is a story is itself a story. It's really rare! The Heritage Foundation maintains a useful database of voter fraud cases, going back to the early 1980s. As far as I can tell, in the last 44 years no noncitizen has been prosecuted for voting in Pennsylvania.

The obvious utility of the story (and maybe the timing of the prosecution) is as an egregious example of illegals destroying democracy when there just happens to be a federal bill pending in the Senate to combat the issue by requiring proof of citizenship at registration time, plus ID at the polls.

It's starting to bubble up in the conservative press, so it's only a matter of time before it's the only (non-war, non-Epstein) story we will hear about.

Immigrant living in Philadelphia illegally voted in 2024 federal election, authorities say Mahady Sacko has been charged with fraudulent voting, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.

I expect this to be a major news story once the pres hears about it: This week an undocumented immigrant from West Africa living in Philly was charged with voting in the 2024 election, and appears to have voted in several previous elections, after having first registered to vote (as a Dem) in 2005.

I was hoping she was mad about LOVE STORY (1970).

That movie wants you to believe that "love means never having to say you're sorry." Good luck with that one!
