It definitely is astonishing on a technical level. The character models seem like a huge step up for R as well.

What stood out for me was the variety of character models. All types of different body shapes. 

Sashay away

I won one of these recently, so just want to say good luck to everyone!

Why wait until tomorrow!

Fed's Susan Collins says more rate hikes can't be taken off the table yet

Other officials have been saying much of the same, essentially that inflation is showing progress but still has a way to go.

 

 

Wow does everyone name Susan Collins suck?

What was his rating?

What the hell? I literally use the Mint app every single day, multiple times a day. I have for many years, before they were purchased by Intuit.

Mint was having some weird account syncing issues over the summer after my bank did a back end update. It lead me to try out almost every single budgeting app in the App Store, and the only one I found remotely comparable and with a clean UI was Rocket Money, but it requires a monthly fee for a lot of features Mint included at no cost.

Questions swirl about Mike Johnson's finances as he reports no bank account in his name - Raw Story

Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has already drawn scrutiny for his past espousal of Biblical literalist beliefs and his role in trying to obstruct the certification of the 2020...

 

Quote

"Over the course of seven years, Johnson has never reported a checking or savings account in his name, nor in the name of his wife or any of his children, disclosures show. In fact, he doesn’t appear to have money stashed in any investments, with his latest filing — covering 2022 — showing no assets whatsoever.”

"It is what it is." 

“There could be tunnels.”

Quote

Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday the Hamas commander who was the target of an airstrike at the Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza was “hiding, as they do, behind civilians.”

The strike caused many casualties at Jabalya, the largest refugee camp in Gaza, according to authorities in Hamas-controlled Gaza.

 

When Blitzer asked the spokesperson about innocent civilians in the refugee camp, Hecht responded, “This is the tragedy of war, Wolf.” 

 

He reiterated the IDF call to evacuate: “Civilians (who) are not involved with Hamas, please move south.”

 

Hecht said the Hamas commander who was the target of the strike “killed many Israelis.”

 

“It's a very complicated battle space,” Hecht said of the area the IDF struck. “There could be infrastructure there, tunnels there. We're looking into it and (will) give you more data as the hour moves ahead.”

Words about smoothbore fucking muskets that assholes use to justify owning weapons of mass destruction (yes an assault rifle is a weapon of mass destruction [and no I don't care if a gun fetishist says I'm using the wrong terminology]).

Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion.He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. 

Just as the founding fathers intended.

House speaker live updates: Tom Emmer dops bid hours after Republicans voted to nominate him - The Washington Post

House Republicans started over on the search for the next speaker of the House after Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was ousted last week.

He was also a Congressman pre-Trump. 

Well, I've learned two new things today.

Wait, Ryan Zinke from the Trump administration is in Congress?

Has someone told Jay that inflation is at 3.7%? Yes, it’s not 2% but it’s (quickly) trending in that direction. Let rates breathe at 5.5% for more than a few months before you decide to go nuclear on the our economy.

Do we know who fired the rocket yet? I'm trying to figure out who the bad guys are.

Absolutely unconscionable.

At least 2,215 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza from Israeli strikes, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said in an update Saturday. That toll includes 724 children. 

 

I’m surprised it took this long for GOP to make this connection

Quote

Campaigning for the GOP presidential nomination Saturday in Iowa, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said the United States should not accept refugees from Gaza, alleging that its residents are “all antisemitic.”

 

“If you look at how they behave, not all of them are Hamas, but they are all antisemitic,” he said, referencing the Gaza-based militant group whose deadly attack in Israel last week triggered war. “None of them believe in Israel’s right to exist. … The Arab states should be taking them if you have refugees. You don’t fly people and import them into the United States of America.”

 

DeSantis has also used Hamas’s attacks as an opportunity to press for further restrictions at the U.S. southern border and reiterated that idea Saturday at his campaign stop in Creston, Iowa, speculating that “there will be a terrorist attack in this country that we’ll be able to link to that southern border.”
