@Thatumbrellaguy Where were you correctly diagnosed? I want to go there.

I legit almost died. Thats why I was silent. For over a year I dealt with a health issue that doctors from Vanderbilt and St Thomas misdiagnosed and gave me medication that was the opposite of what I needed. It almost killed me. Im back though and ready to wreck some fools

@Breauxbil @RossKneeDeep It’s how it is being done now vs then. There were judicial warrants, no masked secret police.

@RossKneeDeep I blame the media bias which it was not in the news when he was doing the deportations. It was like a tree falling in the woods but anytime a Republican president does the same it’s a big news frenzy.

How was Obama able to deport so many more people than Trump without total chaos in the streets? How was he so much better at it?

@HoegLaw The last trilogy went wrong because there wasn’t a plan. 1st movie was too much like A New Hope, 2nd movie was a reaction to that criticism. We don’t like the new stuff, so the 3rd movie was a reaction to that criticism. No plan.

Congratulations. That's exactly wrong. Like, exactly. Few have ever even attempted the Platonic ideal of wrongness that you have. Here I stand, awed.

@RossKneeDeep 1977

Just for fun. I want to see how far we can reach back on graduation dates. What year did you graduate from high school? Me: 1978

It's almost storm season. If a news van pulls into your neighborhood, remember: teeth and bras people. Teeth and bras.

@Microinteracti1 @1drcole Yay! I can plan my trip to Spain now!

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: MAGA Tourists Boycott Spain And UK This Summer, Furious Those Countries Refuse To Support Trump DES MOINES, IA — In a bold act of international retaliation, several MAGA supporters confirmed this week that they will not be traveling to Spain or the United Kingdom this summer, citing deep frustration that these countries “won’t get on board” with what President Trump is doing. “We’re tired of countries that refuse to support Trump,” said one attendee, adjusting his red cap with the solemnity of a statesman. “So we’re staying home. No Spain. No UK. Let them enjoy their little castles and beaches without us.” Analysts say the boycott is expected to be highly sustainable, as it requires no planning, no passport, and no exposure to unfamiliar food that is not deep fried. The decision is also being praised for its practical realism. Multiple supporters confirmed that even if the urge to visit Europe struck unexpectedly, the lack of available funds would immediately restore ideological clarity. “It’s not just the principle,” said another participant, wearing a shirt that loudly declared he would rather be Russian than a Democrat. “It’s also that there’s no room in the budget. And if I take more than two days off, I’m pretty sure my boss replaces me with some other guy from the neighborhood who already owns steel toe boots and has never ‘needed a mental health day’ in his life.” European tourism officials responded with measured calm, noting that the boycott may lead to slightly shorter lines at museums, and a marginally quieter summer in coastal towns that were not previously overwhelmed by visitors from places without paid leave. At press time, the boycott was reportedly expanding to include France, Italy, and any country where the average worker can take a vacation without having to negotiate it like a hostage release.

@thejackhopkins @SenFettermanPA Such a disappointment. Not a Democrat.

@SenFettermanPA You are a f*cking idiot, John.

Committed Democrat here. I’m a hard no. My vote is Operation Epic Fury. 🇺🇸

@StarowNiklas I’ll allow it.

I don't think a jar of cookies and a bag of popcorn is a good "dinner". But now it's 11.15pm here and i need to sleep.

@IanRunkle @WatcherDamned Retired English teacher here: I get to the same place in WH and quit. Never have been able to read it. Obviously I never assigned it.

I have a terrible confession to make... I have never read Wuthering Heights. I read Hondo, Princess of Mars and Conan instead ... ... ... do I need to turn in my woman card?

@aburkhartlaw I’ve gone through 3 probates: my husband’s, my father’s, and my uncle’s. None of them were bad to do, but uncle’s had the most tax implications.

Do not take estate planning advice from random twitter accounts. I used to do a lot of simple estate planning. One of the most common scams I would see is the living trust racket, where very nice people would be sold a very expensive, thick binder document purporting to place all of their assets in living trust to avoid probate. It would always make my heart sink to see someone bring in one of these shiny binders for me to review because I already knew what they had paid a lot of money for was probably worthless and I'd probably have to tell them that they'd been swindled. The thing about a living trust is that it has to be funded. The only things it will apply to are assets titled in the trust. THIS is the difficult part about setting up a trust - the deeding and transferring and registering and everything required to make sure that the trust will even apply to the assets you want it to apply to. Anything it doesn't apply to may still have to go through probate. The binder mills I saw sold a lot of expensive binders for thousands of dollars where they did the really easy part of writing out a basic trust document from a form they've probably used thousands of times and never did the hard work of following through to fund the trust. Many people have most of their non-real estate assets in retirement accounts - 401ks, IRAs, and similar vehicles. These assets typically pass outside of probate because they have designated beneficiaries of their own to whom the asset transfers on death. There can be enormous tax consequences depending on who the named beneficiary is. Get qualified advice about identifying and naming beneficiaries for retirement and other pay-on-death accounts as well as life insurance from people who understand both the mechanics of how these assets transfer and the tax implications of different transfer structures. Probate is also often not the nightmare process people imagine it to be. Many states have accelerated processes or even exempt estates below certain thresholds from probate. Because funding a living trust is difficult, time-consuming, and usually involves transaction costs like recording deeds, it may end up costing more than a simple probate process anyway. There is no one-size fits all estate planning advice that gives everyone the best result. If you have enough assets to even be worrying about what your children's inheritance will look like, spend the money to consult with a lawyer who will help you understand all of the implications - including tax and probate avoidance - before you decide on the best structure for your estate.

@IanRunkle I would definitely relocate.

@IanRunkle I have to renew my passport. But I might.

@johnhawkinsrwn @RpsAgainstTrump Jesus ate with the lepers.

@RpsAgainstTrump Yes, I am a Christian and I don't care about the lives of sociopathic drug dealers that addict, kill and ruin thousands of lives for profit. Maybe, in some perfect universe, I would, but they're evil people & the world is better without them in it.

GOP Sen. Rand Paul: “I look at my colleagues who say they’re pro-life, and they value God’s inspiration in life, but they don’t give a sh*t about these people in the boats…those lives don’t matter at all, and we just blow them up, against all justice, and against all laws of war, all laws of just war, we have never blown up people who were shipwrecked.”

@IanRunkle It helps if you have a bidet.

@IanRunkle My father was a printer who had to handset type, usually upside down and backwards. He would read menus upside down to embarrass me. Would love to be embarrassed again. He died in 2021.

@IanRunkle You really should, but I’m a bad influence.

@IanRunkle No complaints from me, but suggest land photos too.

@HoegLaw The unreliable narrators!

My daughter calls the sports announcers the ‘narrators’ (as in ‘Dad, do the narrators know what they’re talking about at all?’) and I love it.

@HoegLaw In fairness, I like a lot of what Rian Johnson does: Brick, the Knives Out movies, Poker Face, Looper. I know he gets hate for Star Wars, but there is life outside Star Wars.

In fairness, the man knows “making everything worse in every single way.” We should listen.
