My friend's dad accidentally became the most popular person in his apartment building because he didn't understand the group chat.
Someone posted, “Does anybody have a ladder?”
He replied, “Yes.”
Then nothing.
The person eventually knocked on his door, borrowed the ladder, and returned it.
A few days later, somebody asked if anyone could help carry a sofa upstairs.
He replied, “Yes.”
He helped.
Then someone needed a ride to the hardware store.
“Yes.”
For about two months, this retired man responded to nearly every request with the same single word.
His daughter finally explained that he wasn't obligated to help everybody.
He looked offended.
“I know that.”
“Then why do you keep saying yes?”
He shrugged.
“People keep needing things I can do.”
Last month, the building organized a little birthday party for him in the lobby.
He showed up carrying extra folding chairs because he thought somebody might need them.

It’s very telling that restricting the ability of eligible voters to vote is seen as a win for Republicans.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

Giant pumpkin growers and their massive gourds converged on Monday in Northern California for an annual pumpkin-weighing contest.
The pumpkin champ this year won $9 per pound of pumpkin along with their lumpy gourd showcased during a parade through Half Moon Bay this weekend.

Elon immediately suspended this account that showed Nick Sortor’s recorded call to the mental health facility was AI generated and is preventing community notes on the Sortor post.
It’s all hands on deck trying to make the fake Talarico story stick

I have no insight into the facts of this situation, but “CLAIM: (outline a claim)/FACT: (outline facts that don’t address the claim just laid out)” is not generally how fact checks work.

This is brilliant.
You get to have some agency on where your money goes rather than useless bureaucrats spending it on frivolous activities while leeches game the system.
Of course, scholarship organizations need to be heavily audited so scheming parasites don't game it too.
Treasury Department just confirmed you can cut your federal tax bill dollar for dollar by funding K-12 scholarships instead of federal bureaucrats: give up to $1,700 as a single filer or $3,400 as a married couple, and you owe the IRS that much less, with no marriage penalty, starting January 1, 2027. Parents get choice. Bureaucrats get less of your money!!
