April was a target rich environment, no doubt! Finding the murder hornets was great, and just in time for my arrival as a resident here. Now, if only they could find the nest where the California assembly reps go....

Don't know how you do it Jane, but you knock it out of the park every time (more baseball!). Appreciate all of the research and humor you put in to your work!

Does the collar on Ozempig make him a "pulled" pork when a leash is attached? Sorry - my Southern heritage just wouldn't let me resist.

"There’s a bill in the state legislature with bipartisan support to ban passengers from using CLEAR". What ever happened to incentive? If I see someone getting through the line faster, dressing better, eating better, I have incentive to follow their lead and do it for myself. Society doesn't improve by pulling people down.

You really nailed some bad actors this month, Jane. Well done!

I love reading your reporting. With all of the doom and violence in the world (brought into my living room daily), I need your reporting to brighten my spirits and provide hope. How? Your stories show that there is a seemingly inexhaustible amount of stupid people in the world and with so many idiots running around, I rest assured that they will screw up any attempt at serious damage. Reducing it to inspired buffoonery!

As usual Jane your D&D missives make me laugh. However, you neglected to mention that Julie Su did such a bang up job when she neglected to look into or explain the unemployment debacle here in CA, that is costing us BILLIONS, she’s now the acting Secretary of Labor in Washington. You can’t make this s… up. Now, in my humble opinion, Gina Raimondo is someone to keep your eye on at Commerce. God I wish she’d think about running for president in 2028!

"Harry Crouch" 😅🤣😂 Your killing me saying that in your article with a straight face. Love your articles.

I agree with you on companies cooking the financial books with different methodology to look good with no consistent method. That is why it's best to just buy etfs or mutual funds like VOO. Less risk. Or just put your cash in 5% CDs and sleep well at night

Another great job.

Or you can buy Treasury Bills which are usually higher than regular CDs, and not pay any local or state taxes on your earned interest.

Jane - I too had had to look up “exorsexism” and “misandry.” As usual, I learned something from your Substack post! And we love baseball in my house. Go Yankees.

Technically, people can't even get mad about the Ozempig name, because Olympic is name, because Ozempic is the medication for diabetes, and wegovi is the medication for obesity
