add to this whatever the price rise will be for Medicare Part B -- in 2026 that rise took quite a chunk out of the Social Security COLAs.

The Meta oops model: Does an OpenAI model mistakenly attack real companies? That is a very easy way to eliminate competitors. I hope a severe penalty for this sort of thing (including forcing an AI giant to cease all operations) is worked into the legislation.

100 spaces in Tukwila? Welcome to I-5 traffic. They may drive hazardously and cause all sorts of danger up and down the freeway, south Seattle to Tacoma.

It is ironic when local boosters talk about the many jobs to be created. How many staff does it take to monitor a warehouse--basically glorified security guards, I am guessing? Wouldn't skilled repair/module replacement crews be coming in from elsewhere when needed?

Heads up: Taylor Farms lettuce is sold under these brand names: Marketside (sold at Walmart) Earthbound Farm (owned by Taylor Farms) Cross Valley Farms (owned by US Foods) Private labels for Target, Whole Foods (365), and Amazon Fresh. AVOID ALL OF THEM

Quite a few Americans have been in a state of innocence so far. Although we are aware of rigged sports judging, maybe we have walled that off from regular life. We don't know too much about rigged school citizenship contests, that staple of non-free countries.

I love this discussion, but NYT's worst sanewashings are in its headlines. I wish someone would do a human/machine-interest story on the headline writers (bots?) at the NYT. Imagine what headline-writing AI is trained on, from the most washed-out major to the most lurid and alliterative tabloid.

Geo. W. Bush: "I encourage you to go shopping more."

so--the car will be too hazardous to turn over to the county or city as evidence.

two wars at once, neither with a Congressional declaration?

I think she may be angling to be appointed by the president to something. Ally of tech industry, to the detriment of her own state. Requisite flattery, etc.--she posted a bill that would blast an interstate, named after the pres. through WY national parks.

yet, hour upon hour, the MSM reported the fee. Few stated that the fee was imposed by tweet.

Outside advice has not worked so far. Guardian editorship: shouldn't we let Mainers work this out?

it is extremely brave of these men to speak out while in detention.

campaign professionals seem to live to mess up another day despite their catastrophic mistakes. Please let this be the swan song of this particular young advisor.

there are many white work vans out there. Mistaking a white van for another white van-- ridiculous. Good try DHS.

no rush needed--the mayor has a laissez-faire track record on ICE. Start with allowing HPD to turn an autistic teenager over to ICE without notifying his mother, and end up with someone shot dead.

Whitmire sanctioned by the county DP in December.

Whitmire was sanctioned by the county DP in December 2025, so no, he may have the label of Democrat (couldn't have been elected in blue, blue Harris County otherwise) but hasn't really been a Democrat since his fear-of-crime campaign.

ugh, social media is such a mess. Until August, I would love to hear just from Mainers on this topic.
