This reminded me of cigarette packaging. At least it's still under $10.

How My Widowed 77-Year-Old Mom Lost Social Security Benefits For Five Months
With its workforce slashed, the Social Security Administration too often falters when processing survivor benefits. It took help from a Congressman to work it out.

On this Easter Sunday, these threats read like someone who has painted himself into a corner.

BREAKING: Artemis II lifts off on mission around the moon. nbcnews.app.link/KbL7XEKxZ1b
A video verified by The New York Times shows ballistic missiles being launched from Bahrain in the direction of Iran, in what appears to be the first confirmed instance of an attack on the Islamic Republic originating from a Persian Gulf country since the war began.
U.S.-Made Launcher Fired Missiles From Bahrain Toward Iran, Video Shows
It is unclear from the video alone whether the U.S. or Bahraini military launched the missiles. Iran has frequently accused Persian Gulf countries of allowing their territory to be used as a launchpad for U.S. attacks.

The Android UI changing from "swipe up" to "swipe right" to answer a call was inconsiderate to Boomers.
Stumbled into this today and then I saw the human handlers troubleshooting after separating the units. Deus Ex vibes...
Today, I showed a guy how to use the coffee machine in the common area. After thanking me, he said, "You must work here." "No," I said with a chuckle, "I just spend a lot of time here." "Oh, I'm sorry," he stammered as he realized the implications. "I'm sorry for all of us here," I replied.
Another tragedy for Minnesota, and of course, the nation.
It's fitting that the deposition was held at the Performing Arts Center...
I saw an old friend and I asked how her family was in Iran. She told me that communication was reestablished and she had been in touch with them each day since. Then she said she was shocked by recent events in the United States. "I thought things like that only happened in Iran but I guess not."

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.
Also, my father’s final words to me were to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’s sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my dad’s words, I encourage you all to continue to “fight the good fight.”
Today, I saw multiple videos of masked government agents shooting an unarmed and subdued man who was trying to protect his community. And then the government lied about who he was, what he was doing, and how he was murdered. This isn't the country I grew up in.
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Day 4 (January 15, 2026) of the strike outside of Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. #strike #nurses #healthcare #NYC
Every time you consume a piece of (business, health, or political) content, you should ask yourself, "why does someone want me to believe that this is true?" Cui bono?
Day 1 (January 12, 2026) of the strike outside of Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City
I sent one of my books to Viet Nam today. The cost of USPS-First Class International has gone up by ~56% since 2019. ($23.38 vs. $36.41) And now the recipient is on the hook for duties and taxes when it wasn't the case before. Truly getting less for more.
Some thoughts about the murder by ICE in Minnesota. This is the time for all of us to demand much better and to show what’s right.
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
