Stuck
There are people with cash in the bank, of course, but the high mortgage rates really do restrict the ability of people to move for whatever reason.
Going from 3.5% to 6.5% on $400,000 borrowed means an initial jump of $1000 in monthly interest.
And What Army
If they ignore this one, why not all of them.
CNN, MS NOW and Politico filed an emergency request for a hearing Thursday morning after reporters were refused access to the White House despite a court order.
Consequences
I bet Harvey wakes up every day wondering why he is being punished for things "everyone" did/does.
Not a defense, in case it isn't obvious. I just mean that the "metoo reckoning" didn't exactly get many people.
Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul, was sentenced to 15 years in prison Wednesday for a felony sex crime in another #MeToo reckoning. Weinstein’s sentencing for sexually assaulting one-time TV production assistant Miriam Haley followed a legal odyssey spanning more than six years after his 2020 conviction was overturned. A jury found Weinstein guilty again at a retrial last year.I have no idea if his regular actions were "worse" than many of his peers, but I'd bet than in his mind they weren't really different.

Who Needs "Cybersecurity"
We're lucky if all hackers do is steal information. It's when they start torching it all that we're in trouble.
A representative of the group claimed to NBC News that they hacked the FBI’s job portal Monday and then gained access to other agency programs, stealing between 2 and 3 terabytes of files. NBC News was not able to verify the extent of their claims. The job portal site is currently inaccessible.I basically assume everything has been hacked, including Donald's phone, given their complete lack of interest in appropriate measures. They handed the keys to all the DOGE boys. You think they gave them back?
Sure Why Not
Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.

Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Make A Deal With Iran That Doesn't Suck Shit
Hard work, is it.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a deal with Iran would involve hard work over a period of time, adding that Trump “has a number of options available, including military options”.Fortunately something the Trump administration is known for, its hard workers.
Chekhov's Book Of Building Codes
The writers are setting up a fun finish for the ballroom.
James McCrery II withdrew from the project last October after warning repeatedly that Trump was insisting on a preliminary design that did not provide adequate emergency exit routes or fire-containment measures, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private discussions.
Trump brushed off McCrery’s concerns, they said, and the president countered that no building codes apply to White House construction.
“I am the code,” Trump said.
A Desperate Nation Demands It
This is ridiculous, of course, but there's always a media and donor lane for the Sensible Republican. The anti-Trumpers have to rally around somebody. It isn't about winning, it's about running a financial/PR/media empire for a couple of years.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Tuesday said he’s considering a third presidential run in 2028 as the Republican Party faces a bleak midterm outlook.
No journalist can explain how Mr. 14% was given an apartment in the Green Room after leaving office in disgrace, but such are the careers of Republican politicians.
We often joke about politicians being less popular the syphilis, but Christie really was!

Afternoon
My phone died (well, stopped connecting to cell networks), so I am busy procuring another...
No need for advice. I have done every troubleshooting suggestion, from the obvious to the obscure reddit suggestion. Pretty sure it's a hardware failure (50 cent part, 80 dollar repair job kinda thing) It's a 3-year-old cheap android (and was an older model when I bought it) and am due for an upgrade anyway.
Big Wink
Sure, whatever.
UNITED NATIONS, Sept 22 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he thought the US would make a deal with Iran after mid-term elections are held on November 3."I believe we'll make a deal right after the election because it doesn't make sense for them not to. They're waiting to see how I do in the midterm election," Trump said during a speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
He might even believe this one, something his advisers have been feeding him. They're just trying to make you look bad for the election!
Sure Why Not
Trump tells the UN he is officially changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" and says all US government documents will now be changed to refer to "SI"
