Tax Season Just Got More Confusing

Americans love to hate the IRS, that historically unpopular revenue-collection agency with its slow processes and fax machines and many, many forms. But recently, it has started to turn things around, at least by some measures: After receiving tens of billions of dollars from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the agency’s customer-service wait times went down, its tech initiatives helped simplify tax filings for some, and its audits led to the recovery of more than $1 billion in unpaid taxes from wealthy Americans and corporations. That progress may now be imperiled. As part of the Trump administration’s plan to downsize the federal government, the IRS has been ordered to start firing as many as 7,000 IRS employees in the middle of tax season, including 5,000 people who work on collection and enforcement; the total cuts represent about 7 …

‘Yellowjackets’ Season 3 Cuts Itself Loose

‘Yellowjackets’ Season 3 Cuts Itself Loose

Published by skeptic

This article contains spoilers through the end of Yellowjackets Season 2. A funny thing can happen to a hit show when it’s no longer the hot new thing on television. If such a series manages to produce more seasons, it often becomes weirder, stranger, and more specific, narrowing its appeal rather than attempting to maintain its wider following. Twin Peaks moved beyond probing its central mystery and into exploring the dream logic of its titular town. Lost introduced time travel and a pair of demigods. Person of Interest became a meditation on the post-9/11 surveillance state, transcending its network-procedural DNA. Yellowjackets, whose third season premiered last Friday on Paramount+ with Showtime, fits that mold to an extent. The series, about a high-school girls’ soccer team stranded in the woods after a plane crash, became a word-of-mouth, Emmy-nominated hit during its first season by attracting many different types of audiences. Fans of mystery-box shows pondered whether Yellowjackets’ setting was paranormal. Horror enthusiasts enjoyed the gnarly thrills and gory deaths. People who liked teen soaps could immerse …

US flu season most intense in at least 15 years

US flu season most intense in at least 15 years

Published by Sam

NEW YORK —  The U.S. winter virus season is in full force, and by one measure is the most intense in 15 years. One indicator of flu activity is the percentage of doctor’s office visits driven by flu-like symptoms. Last week, that number was clearly higher than the peak of any winter flu season since 2009-10, according to data posted Friday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of course, other viral infections can be mistaken for flu. But COVID-19 appears to be on the decline, according to hospital data and CDC modeling projections. Available data also suggests another respiratory illness, RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, has been fading nationally. The flu has forced schools to shut down in some states. The Godley Independent School District, a 3,200-student system near Fort Worth, Texas, last week closed for three days after 650 students and 60 staff were out Tuesday. Jeff Meador, a district spokesman, said most illnesses there have been flu, plus some strep throat. He called it the worst flu season he could …

Where Have You See The Cast Of The Night Agent Season 2 Before?

Published by Sam

After keeping fans waiting for two years, Netflix’s spy thriller The Night Agent is back with a bang. The show premiered with little fanfare back in 2022, eventually proving to be so binge-able that it rose up the ranks of the platform’s most-watched shows ever, where it now sits comfortably in the top 10.
