1st DOGE Subcommittee hearing has started, it’s titled "The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud" and chaired by Marjorie Taylor Greene. In her opening statement she says that US is "36 trillion in debt – this is not a DEM or REP problem, this is an American problem"

5 worst shows I watched in 2024:

5. House of the dragon (S2)
– Bad pacing, hiding their best actors

4. The Penguin
– Who is this for?

3. The Bear (S3)
– What a snooze after S2

2. The rings of power (S2)
– So expensive, yet so inoffensive

1. Only murders in the building (S4)
– Utter boredom
