A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.
Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a year after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M.
Do you see how this works?

We ended up in Portland last weekend, and while there, we checked troll number three of six off our list! These massive recycled-wood sculptures by artist Thomas Dambo are scattered across the PNW, and Ole Bolle was our latest target. #Portland #NWTrolls
Gergina & I took the day off the Wednesday before last for my birthday. We spent the morning at the Seattle Asian Art Museum (SAAM) and then strolled around Volunteer Park and the U-District.

The air was sharp and salty, the sky a flat winter gray, and the Sound stretched out cold and wide beside us.
Spent Monday afternoon #troll hunting! Did you know there are 6 wooden trolls tucked around the #PNW? We checked 2 trolls off the list on Monday!

I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis.
It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.

The City’s Budget is our future. And you deserve to know how it works.
Narration: "TWO SECONDS!" Peter Parker turns his head to look up over high right shoulder, spider sense tingling, his face half Peter, half Spider-Man. "HUH--??" he exclaims.
On an all white background, Steve Rogers flips a man over his shoulder, dropping him ass first onto the floor. For whatever reason Steve and the guy are both just red head to toe. As Steve flips him, there is a loud sound effect that says, “MOVE!” And when the guy lands on the floor there’s an even larger font sound effect, “BUTT!”

The arched window of The Hall at the Harrow Club, with its unusual filigree.
Also, if you're in or near London, you can rent this hall to recreate either or both scenes!

Finished #Dispatch last night, and the entire season was a blast! Wish I'd picked it up at release because I didn’t have the self-control to limit myself to 2 episodes a week. Binging it over 2 nights just makes me want more! Anywho, pick it up because it's totally worth the ticket to ride!

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
