Having now fulfilled my constitutionally sanctioned obligation to participate in the contemporary electoral process, I am pleased to announce that my civic duties have been executed with meticulous deliberation and democratic reverence.
In simpler terminology: I voted. 🇺🇸
@elonmusk The "Blue Slip Tradition" is simply a custom, not a legal requirement. From my perspective, the last election was won based on a promise to not uphold tradition, but to bring about significant change.
I've always been a big fan of Michael Linenberger's Master Your Now (MYN) task management system.
By combining MYN principles with the Remember The Milk app and its powerful MilkScript feature, I've used ChatGPT to create a custom MilkScript that automatically updates my task list according to MYN rules. This includes:
Sorting tasks in reverse chronological order (by start date).
Dynamically adjusting priorities based on start dates and limiting the number of tasks per priority level (max 5 in Critical/High, 20 in Opportunity/Medium).
This automation fits perfectly with MYN because the script is designed to be run manually during the recommended hourly, daily, or weekly reviews.
My process was straightforward:
I first prompted ChatGPT to become an expert in Michael Linenberger's MYN system.
Then I had it become an expert in Remember The Milk's MilkScript language.
I set up the underlying Smart List with proper filtering (excluding completed tasks and future-start tasks) and initial sorting/grouping.
Finally, the MilkScript handles the dynamic priority adjustments and reordering.
It's been a game-changer for keeping my task list perfectly aligned with MYN principles without constant manual tweaking.

@TLLayton Wonderful song and performance! I'm a new fan! Where have you been hiding? I'm now looking for more of your music! By the way, kudos to your keyboardist. He was enjoying your performance as much as I was!
@EricLDaugh I thought this press conference was absolutely looney. But later, the LA Reiner death police conference made these guys look like Sherlock Holmes.
Hakeem Jeffries calls Republicans “extremists unfit to govern” for not extending the ACA subsidies.
He might want to remember: those enhanced subsidies were passed by a Democratic Congress, using reconciliation, and were deliberately made temporary because Democrats couldn’t make them permanent under the Senate’s own budget rules.
The 12/31/2025 cliff was written by his own party.
Spain’s universal healthcare sounds great on paper (and it achieves excellent outcomes for the money), but it’s not without real downsides that Spaniards themselves complain about constantly:Waiting lists are brutal: 6–18 months for many surgeries, specialist visits, and even diagnostic tests. In 2022, 71% of Spaniards said this was the #1 problem with the system.
Chronic underfunding since the 2008 crisis: budgets were slashed, hospitals are aging, and rural areas are especially neglected.
Staff shortages and burnout: doctors and nurses often work on precarious contracts, earn less than in other Western countries, and many moonlight in private clinics to survive.
Huge regional differences: if you live in Madrid or Catalonia you’re usually fine; in Extremadura or parts of Andalusia you can wait forever or have to travel hours.
25–30% of the population buys private insurance just to skip the public queues, which defeats the “universal” ideal for day-to-day care.
COVID exposed all of this: Spain had one of the highest healthcare-worker death rates in Europe because of PPE shortages and collapsed https://t.co/3L6TXVayrG’s still a solidarity-based system that keeps costs low and life expectancy high, but “free and fantastic” is an oversimplification. Plenty of Spaniards will tell you they love the principle and hate the day-to-day reality.
Senator, with all due respect, the enhanced ACA subsidies you’re now warning about expiring were always designed by Democrats to sunset at the end of 2025. They were sold as a temporary COVID measure in the American Rescue Plan and then given a three-year extension in the IRA—never made permanent. Warning Arizonans about a “huge spike” in 2026 is warning them about the exact policy Democrats wrote and chose not to fix permanently when they had full control of Congress and the White House. If these subsidies are truly essential, why weren’t they made permanent in 2021 or 2022 instead of being kicked down the road to become someone else’s problem? Arizonans deserve honesty: this cliff was built into the law on purpose.

@SenWarren With GOP majorities in both chambers and Trump in the WH, this bill is DOA. It'll never even get a vote, let alone reach his desk for a veto. Why waste time pursuing this?
