I found a β€˜dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle β€œDead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

As a former recipient of a Fulbright, I can confirm that having my funding cut off as a 22-year old in South Korea would have been ... disruptive. While some may be able to find other jobs, others may be effectively stranded depending on whether they have enough funds to even get themselves home.

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired.

Let’s start with Elon Musk.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

I cannot tell you how many things Trump is saying that were long ago debunked in every single major-media publication but that he is saying tonight because he thinks they sound good and he knows that the people he is actually trying to speak to literally never watch the news, only his speeches

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Given three people in my family (my maternal grandfather and two of his sisters) died from pancreatic cancer, this is very exciting to me.

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying β€œWhy are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

β€œApparently, the new MAGA logic is that government cannot force a private entity to bake a cake for a gay wedding because that's tyranny; but government can force a private entity to not bake a cake for a gay wedding, because that's freedom.”

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

Frito seems to like them as big as possible. We have another small 10-pound Morkie (Enzo) and some of Frito's stuffies are bigger than Enzo.

Frito loves his stuffies. Sometimes I think I have toddlers again with the number of stuffed animals strewn around our floors.

I would really like my childhood dream of becoming the first woman president to be ruined (or won by me) in my lifetime. It seems the only way to guarantee this is for both parties to nominate a woman as their presidential candidate.

Of course that will be the year the third party candidate wins.

I prefer the Ednaswap version of the song Torn to the more popular Natalie Imbruglia cover.

I tried to use Google lens to be reminded of what this was called and the first few images that came up were of Google cardboard.

We found out from our nieces that our 14-year old broke up with his girlfriend last weekend.

We didn't know he had a girlfriend.
