Nothing lasts forever, not even "Nothing". So I have moved my minimal writing persona back to SQH1066 (which I may shortly rename — you never know), because this account has become too noisy. A select few will shortly notice SQH1066 following them, or maybe not notice.

Benjamin Franklin on people who complain about taxation.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few. Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

@PanasonicDX4500 until he's delivered to your house, you could still get a late scratch

they’re bluffing when they say you can still get knocked off the nice list this late in the game. santa’s been delivering gifts in japan for hours by now; that list is locked, do whatever you want.

Bernie Sanders’ Social Security bill, formally known as the Social Security Expansion Act, would expand and strengthen Social Security benefits for current and future recipients while ensuring the program’s long-term solvency through progressive funding mechanisms, like "scrapping the cap." The program would be funded by applying the Social Security payroll tax to all income above $250,000, effectively eliminating the cap on taxable earnings (currently $168,600 in 2024) for high earners. #ScrapTheCap

@NatureUnedited they know how Pluto feels

Unlike big cats, cheetahs can purr but can’t roar. They aren’t considered big cats because they don’t belong to the genus Panthera, and they’re the only living member of the genus Acinonyx.

they FEDEXed a key hard drive in a case like this? I would deploy an agent to hand carry that thing. Two agents (not friends) if it's this high profile.

time to change banks. those fuckers

@ATJackson47 we don't believe them

This clearly says that it was redacted to protect victims. Ridiculous to demand the names of victims be shared publicly.

@MikeLevin so why does the speaker have unilateral power to end the session?

With ACA tax credits about to expire and premiums set to explode, Mike Johnson, the so-called Speaker, sent all of us home yesterday for the holidays. This is a travesty. We had bipartisan support, with four Republicans joining us for a clean extension of the credits. We could have voted yesterday. But Deputy Speaker Johnson apparently needed permission first from Trump, the one who is actually calling the shots. Johnson chose groveling over governing. Millions of families are about to see their health care costs double or triple, and his response was to leave town. Trump gives the orders, Johnson is Speaker in title only, and the American people get stuck with the bill. But this isn’t over. When Congress reconvenes in January, we’ll be fighting like hell to extend those credits. Too much is at stake.

@benhylak you shouldn't do that. my 2 jobs ago the company collapsed 7 months in; nearly everyone was dismissed.

i pretty much auto-reject any candidate that hasn't spent a year at their last job.

@HandyGingerGal "If we hold onto your money for 3-5 days, we can make a little extra profit"

I want to know why an electronic banking transaction STILL takes 3-5 days to be completed.

@superkeara strange. Every other apologetics I have heard twists itself into knots trying to reconcile "God is good" with all the shit in the world

@RachelLeishman so the guys from Oa are covering the Entire universe; why are there like 5 green lanterns from the planet earth?

Seems people (racists) are confused so let me help explain: Man on the left is John Stewart. He's a Green Lantern. Man on the right is Hal Jordan. He's a Green Lantern. They are both Green Lanterns because a Green Lantern is a title, not a person. Hope that helps.

@cartunmafia i may have seen that at an animation festival (in the 1980s); it feels familiar

@xwanyex you are stupid and harmful, wayne

@supergirl I didn't realize until today that she was also the first (and true) Rhaenyra Targaryen

You know you’re that girl when you cause all this conversation. #Supergirl - only in theaters June 26.

@a4waystop don't be from colorado and this stupid. you're embarrassing the rest of us

Colorado must at least let Tina Peters out of jail while the Federal vs. State question is argued through the courts.
