Rich text editing on Discourse! I think that having to write Markdown directly has been one of the biggest real impediments for existing forums to move to Discourse, as I see it. I prefer writing raw Markdown, but most "normal" people would prefer a rich text editor. So happy to see this happening!

Donald Trump says eggs are free now.

These people have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.
“The Social Security Administration late Wednesday abandoned plans it was considering to end phone service for millions of Americans filing retirement and disability claims after The Washington Post reported that Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service team was weighing the change to root out alleged fraud.”

Yes. Was half joking. But .. I wonder if the IRS can go after a child in the same way they could go after a spouse? (Were they filing jointly, so it was really her taxes as well?) Also likely depends on the way the estate is handled, and if there’s any money to pay the taxes that may be due. Lots of room for variation on this theme.
Caveat: I’m not a lawyer, and don’t play one on TV.

It's time for all of us who are or will be subject to Trump's Tariff attack to boycott as many American products and businesses as possible. Support local and then support products and businesses from Trump's other Tariff victims.

in reply to timberwraith • • •I've avoided Bluetooth headphones because the process of converting audio to and from a Bluetooth signal tends to degrade the sound quality.
(And I'm kind of picky about sound quality when I'm listening to music.)
