Secret Santa is stupid, and who needs one more thing to worry about.

It doesn't need to be a federal case though. Just the Youths replacing the Olds should take care of the problem.
I absolutely adore the Boomers tonight acting like adding one more obligation at work isn't anything to worry about.

Like, have you been to work?
Oh, I get it. Maybe work was easier for you.

Oooooooh.

Supreme Court of California finds the state law (directed at Trump) requiring candidates to disclose their tax returns to appear on the ballot is unconstitutional under the state constitution. courts.ca.gov/opinions/docum…
Bottom line:
Indeed, that would probably be the obvious next step. California, nearly unique among states, allows voters to modify their constitution by popular vote.

It's one of the reasons California's constitution is so dang long.

In the face of NSC staffer's under-oath statements that this anonymously-sourced article is incorrect about a Ukrainian plot to influence 2016, GOP response is that the author stands by it.

Guys, I have no doubt that Vogel was told these things. The NSC says they're not true.
Based on testimony of the NSC witnesses, what happened here is apparently Vogel's source (Lutsenko?) spun him a yarn, and he printed it. That's reporting.

Pretending that an anonymous and unverifiable article is true in the face of contrary testimony from our own IC is silly.
And that's where we are right now. The GOP would prefer to accept the anonymous word of unknown Ukrainians over the assessment of the U.S. intelligence community bc that's the only story that protects Donald Trump.

Much patriotic.

Oh, hey, that obviously false story that rocketed around yesterday (and which AILA, ACLU, and numerous journalists shared) that the U.S. has 100 THOUSAND children in detention was, y'know, obviously false.

(The actual number is somewhere around 1,500 at DHS and 5,000 at HHS.)
Here's the updated story. The guy who yesterday said " Wehave more than — still more than — 100,000 children in migration-related detention in the United States of America" clarifies that this number represents the *cumulative* number that passed through U.S. custody in 2015.
Here's the link to the "clarified" story on U.S. immigration-related detention according to the UN special expert on child liberty. Heh.

I read a great article on why the younger generation do not buy cars & apartments anymore & found it #TooGoodNotToShare

#WhyOwnWhenYouCanRent?

#SharedEconomy

Nowadays,the traditional measure of success-owning an apartment & or a car-is getting out of date
An increasing number of young people around the world don’t want to buy them.

#Research shows that the so-called #MillennialGeneration, who are now 30-35 years old, rarely buy houses and even more rarely — cars. In fact, they don’t buy super expensive things at all.
In the USA, people under the age of 35 are called ’the generation of renters.’

Why does this happen?

Some sociologists say the current generation of young people differs from their parents’ generation. They have other values.

Hank, the grumpy shepherd living in a cottage in the mountains in self-imposed exile, tending to his many, many sheep and his very large dog.
Connor, the vagabond that twists his ankle traipsing carelessly through his fields during a rainstorm.
The storm is not at its peak yet. The sheep are huddled a little closer, some of them seeking the shelter of trees and shrubbery, but the worst clouds are still far away. Hank sees a brief flash, then thunder rolls what feels like half a minute later.

When my husband, Army vet, tried get gov job, I lurked on forums for networking to get in. *MANY* bragging about keeping vets out of gov service, from getting hired! Said they had numbers now in HR to block vets. We gave up after 2 yrs trying. (husband highly qualified &educated)
My point is, not only are they impossible to fire, but deliberately sabotaged hiring of qualified veterans - from what they said on the forum, vets want things run well, power trip, hardnosed w rules - threat to relaxed environment, sweet deal, work w their friends. Investigate.
I forgot to add - they (some current gov workers, others were hopefuls applying for civil service, gov jobs) felt that vet preference was unfair & there were hateful/bitter about it. VERY. Hated veterans - one of the motives for effort to prevent hire of vets (see next tweet)

My current shelfie. I’ve collected a few new books this summer. These will all be fast reads for me. Read this thread to see what I mean:
I try to read 250-300 books each year. That means about a book each day, six days a week. But I’m not a supergenius speedreader; I’ve just figured out how to “triage” my desire to read broadly.
Most of the books I read each week will get 20-30 minutes of my day. I’ll focus on the TOC and the introduction of nonfiction works to get a map of the contents and organizing ideas of the book.
