MUST SEE: Masked man throws 100 green paper airplanes from high-rise balcony over downtown Chicago! It really is the simple things in life, isn't it?

I know we joke about branding guidelines a lot, but I'm too afraid of the Olympic lawyers to even bevel the rings.

@FIFAWorldCup This is 2006. The Zidane headbutt and absolute disasterclass by the U.S. in the group stage.

@WesReynolds1 A punt is reasonable, and NFHS rules treat a short FG attempt exactly like a punt. Some teams don't even punt at all and just attempt FGs from anywhere on the field.

@xpostfactoid Lots of people retire early to get better, cheaper health insurance. Google "Financial Independence Retire Early". If you have a couple million saved up, it's not hard to structure your investment income to get a 94% AV plan funded almost entirely by taxpayers.

Normal humans think that ending or reducing health insurance-based job lock is good. No one retires to *get* health insurance. If you're 60+ and have other directions to go in your life, or new responsibilities (like caregiving), your ESI shouldn't keep you tethered.

It is amazing that you can look at this chart and reach Blase’s single conclusion below, when the actual more complex story it tells is: ✅ The Affordable Care Act (ACA) helps over 20 million people get health coverage ✅ The uninsured rate is significantly lower as a result of the ACA ✅ Fewer people die in this country because they have health coverage ✅ People between the ages of 50-64 are particularly reliant upon getting their coverage through the ACA because they make too much for Medicaid but have increasingly unaffordable private coverage options ✅ Allowing young adults to stay on their parent’s health plan to age 26 is also an ACA success story, and the ACA coverage itself helps young people in their late 20s get health coverage — without these two things, the uninsured rate for young adults in their 20s would be much higher A third bar of Medicaid and CHIP coverage in this chart would also explain why: ✅ The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is an effective, bipartisan national success story and should be made permanent ❌ OBBB’s $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and CHIP will harm millions of people (an estimated 10 million, according to CBO) and disproportionately harm babies and children

You can only ride roller coasters and visit amusement parks within one region of the United States for the rest of your life. What are you picking? (H/t @JoshuaBarzon for the original idea)

Even with inflation adjustment, Americans are just spending way more on food than we did pre-pandemic — either eating more, buying more expensive stuff, or relying more on restaurants & delivery.

@mattyglesias I think there's a legitimate distinction between adjusting for general inflation and adjusting for food-specific inflation that you weren't clear on. One would show food prices increasing in excess of general price levels and one would not.

No matter how hard you try to tell people that you are showing them inflation-adjusted numbers they will complain that you didn’t take inflation into account.

@TimSteffenCPA @jamessweeney50 @christine_benz Clearly the file/delay decision is more nuanced than “8%”. Life expectancy is the biggest key. Merrill research shows that 50% of married people over age 65 will reach age 100. Advancements in healthcare and pharmacy will keep people living better for longer etc…

One thing I've been mulling: Higher safe yields make delaying Social Security less of a no-brainer than was the case a few years ago. I still think a lot of people should delay, but the "return" benefit of delaying is less of a screaming buy than it was. What am I missing? 🤔

@BoozerDownsIII @jamiedupree This is one of the biggest misconceptions in taxes. Gifts above $17,000 require a gift tax return to be filed, but gift taxes don't need to be paid until about $12,900,000 in gifts are given.

Except for Griffey's, all the names in this classic ’90s Nintendo video game were fake. Where the heck did they come from?
