This has 100% happened. The DOGE boys have an unmonitored, unsecured Signal chat where they make their plans and openly exchange data that are completely illegal for them to have viewed, let alone exfiltrated.

I could not believe how much better it was walking through in person than even beautiful photos had led me to believe it would be. Loved it so much

How Rising Home Insurance Costs Are Linked to Your Credit History In many states, homeowners with “excellent” credit scores are charged less for home insurance than those with worse scores, even if they live in a disaster-prone area.

The use of a person's credit score to price homeowner's insurance is a major problem. In many states, a person's credit score has a bigger influence on their premium than the physical risk of damage.

it doesn’t even make sense when i explain it by saying i studied abroad there (over 20 years ago lol) because i was in KERALA where they don’t even speak hindi!!!

going to see my aging family this week and honestly I probably should have spent the last five years doing Dutch self study every day (so I could speak their language!!!) instead of this pointless Hindi quest but my stupid brain would not and will not let go

watching Kusha Kapila’s reels and wishing I could speak with like anything close to that level of fluency. Would even settle for just being great at Hinglish but tbh I fear real snappy Hinglish is actually harder

The thing about going to the park is that it’s great and there are so many dogs but they’re all the Wrong Dog. because they’re not MY dog.

This story has everything, a focus on desal that led to overlooking other water sources, a city manager making $400K/yr saying don’t panic, a former water system manager saying residents should absolutely panic, and magical thinking: “The last hope to avert disaster was a 20- to 30-inch rainfall.”

I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

The Iranian people, amidst US and Israeli bombardments and threats from the IRGC and the Islamic Republic, have had no internet access since the start of the war.

Being cut off from the world and each other deliberately puts their lives in grave danger.

They have turned this beautiful city into a wasteland. Those who do don’t die from bombs will succumb to unspeakable illness. Most of my close family is in Tehran
