The market has taken an absolute beating the past 30 days. Analysts are gonna need dental records just to identify it. If you’re a veteran in need of financial assistance or employment, The American Legion stands ready.

1M people to Mars in ~20yrs would seem ludicrous if it came out of anyone but Elon Musk’s mouth. Say what you want re: his politics, but dude is unquestionably polymath & colonizing Mars excites me. I would sign up to go.

If folks visiting my office didn’t know I was from Texas beforehand, they certainly will when they walk in.

67% of Americans report living paycheck to paycheck. Wages haven’t kept near pace w/ cost of living; meanwhile Americans hold $1.2T and rising in CC debt. This is simply unsustainable.

Honestly, the first thing I do when I get added to a group chat is figure out how fast I can leave it.

When you were infantry, but found a job in the tech sector:

Happy belated National Pet Day from sweet Clementine!

i wasn't going to comment on this but i guess since we've let the WSJ behind the curtain i'm allowed to share my opinion imagine taking the most sacred thing a person can have—a child, a private relationship, direct access to the most influential man on earth—and liquidating it

It’s April 24, 2025 and I still see people wearing masks in their own car, by themselves, on my commute to downtown DC.

It’s 8:46am on Monday, April 28th and Microsoft Outlook is still a huge problem.

BLS unemployment data for April: 3.5% for all vets (3.8% in March), 2.9% for OIF/OEF era vets (3.1% in March), 4.2% for the nation (4.2% in March).

1. Congress would have to change the name. 2. Veterans Day celebrates veterans of all wars, not just WWI. 3. This will go the same way “freedom fries” did. No one will call it “Victory Day for WWI.”

These ppl use “anxiety” as reason for a “service dog,” which is crap. Idk 1 legit service dog handler who uses the dog for general anxiety. Airlines have the ability to deny boarding under the ADA but many front line employees aren’t trained enough or they’re afraid of bad PR.
