      I noticed you linked to a news source and it reminds me how close to impossible it is find information directly from the government unless you’re wiling to go to some homepage and click 16 trillion times, and hopefully you’re blocking third-party scripts because for some reason AdSense is loaded on every fucking page.

      If you already have an account, after login there will be like 16 alerts (“flash” alerts in Ruby on Rails speak) and if you’re lucky maybe one is relevant to you.

        Along the same lines, I’m getting close to Medicare age and swamped with ads for “Medicare Advantage” plans which are for-profit and notorious for denial of care. Meanwhile I can’t even get government information about Medicare itself and/or basic supplement plans for another few months. I know that if you start with Advantage it can be very difficult to get back to real Medicare and exclusion of preexisting conditions can apply, just like in pre-Obama days.

        I, on the other hand, am such a pedant I will point out that twats is plural, not possessive, so it doesn’t get an apostrophe. Upvoted your comment, though.

      “Ideally, we would have a fully functional, well-tested FAFSA opening on October 1,” she added. “But given where we are in the process, and the challenges that have plagued this year’s rollout, we would rather wait until December 1 to allow time for the necessary testing to ensure a functional system when ED launches the 2025-26 FAFSA.”
