When I played Sim City 2000 as a kid, the game made a booing sound effect when you raised taxes and a cheer for lowering them.

So, anytime I raised taxes in the game I'd go up 1% higher and then immediately lower them to get the cheering sound.

This is basically what Trump did.

Got my wife a concrete porch goose for her birthday and I sewed a smart little dress out of scrap fabric. Admittedly, I wasn't sure whether to do arm holes or just treat it like a poncho. In the end, I went with poncho but I tried to give the "shoulders" some structure.

I've recommended it to people in my church. It was helpful to have an insider take the issue on. I especially identified with your Five Iron Frenzy reference.

Thanks. If I do something like this again, I'd put pleats on the pockets to give them some additional dimensionality.

A trio of cotton sateen button up shirts I made. Pattern is self drafted (you can tell in spots).

I'm really pleased with the contrasting topstitching on the green shirt.

The brown shirt is a western style with piping and pocket flaps.

🚨NEW: The Trump admin moves to terminate Temporary Protected Status for HALF A MILLION Haitians, claiming despite all reality that Haiti is a safe country to return to — even though large portions of the country are ruled by vicious gangs and civil governance has collapsed.

DHS Terminates Haiti TPS, Encourages Haitians to Obtain Lawful Status
Release Date: June 27, 2025
WASHINGTON – Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem today announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. The TPS designation for the country expires on Aug. 3, 2025, and the termination will be effective on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

At least 60 days before a TPS designation expires, the Secretary, after consultation with appropriate U.S. government agencies, is required to review the conditions in a country designated for TPS to determine whether the conditions supporting the designation continue to be met, and if so, how long to extend the designation.

“This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary,” said a DHS spokesperson. “The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home. We encourage these individuals to take advantage of the Department’s resources in returning to Haiti, which can be arranged through the CBP Home app. Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, if eligible.”

After conferring with interagency partners, Secretary Noem determined that conditions in Haiti no longer meet the TPS statutory requirements. The Secretary’s decision was based on a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services review of the conditions in Haiti and in consultation with the Department of State. The Secretary determined that, overall, country conditions have improved to the point where Haitians can return home in safety. She further determined that permitting Haitian nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to the national interest of the United States. Haitian nationals returning home are encouraged to use the U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP Home app to report their departure from the United States.

I always hate "greatest films of ALL time" lists because it's not fair to compare modern movies to what they made in ancient Mesopotamia

Ok, we're at war with Iran's nuclear program, fine. But did Congress declare war on Iran's nuclear program?

The artist explains that the title, "My Florist is a Dick, is an ironic statement referring to the surprise we'd feel if the local Florist was a "sadisticasshole," but that we should not be surprised that cops are often dicks who abuse power."
