- The last time I checked, “Keith” is a one-syllable name. But that wasn’t true according to the customer service representative who helped me on the phone yesterday.
- My internet service provider bill reached as high as $85 a month. I called to see if they could give me any sort of discount for being a loyal customer who always pays before the due date, or if I should start looking at some competitors, because that seems high. They knocked it down to $21.99 for a year.
- My trivia team was in first place going into the Wager of Death, which is like Final Jeopardy. From largest to smallest, put the following in order:
- Number of performances of the longest-running Shakespeare play on Broadway. (296, Othello)
- Total number of deaths in all of Shakespeare’s plays. (Across Shakespeare’s 38 plays, there are a total of 74 deaths, including staged and off-screen deaths)
- Total number of Shakespeare’s sonnets (154)
- And I can’t remember the fourth. But we bet zero, and still didn’t place.
- I heard an HHS employee who was on probation talk about how she was let go by DOGE. She said she received an email stating her position was “Abolished.” Yes, that specific word was used. She said that opening that email triggered the deactivation of her badge.
- I think Senator Chuck Schumer’s days of leadership are numbered. This year is not going anywhere near what he thought it would be. He had a book tour that got cancelled because of his crashing popularity and likability. I’m getting the sense there’s some behind-the-scenes movement within the party to boot him. Granted, this is just a Teen Vogue article, but I’m getting a feeling that it’s becoming a movement, akin to how Biden was replaced after the debate, but to a lesser degree.

- Mississippi governor signs typo tax overhaul bill into law to phase out income tax
- Gov. Tate Reeves signed a bill to overhaul Mississippi’s tax system — one that many lawmakers inadvertently voted for because of typos — into law on Thursday. This sets Mississippi on a path to become the first state to eliminate an existing income tax, when the tax is phased out in about 14 years. Reeves said the law marks a turning point in the state’s history and that it would make Mississippi a magnet for corporate investment and workers from other states.
