Inside the DOGE Takeover of the Federal Government In early 2025, Americans first learned about the takeover of the federal government by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE had been operating under a veil of secrecy, with l...

Congratulations to my colleagues @wired.com for a very well-deserved award:

There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!

What are you doing after work?
A-Hanging out w my dog

What ya doing this weekend?
A-Sitting on my porch w a good book and a good boi on my lap.

What more could a girl want?
Blessed and content.

Well, it would be really great if the boi were less anxious. Any animal communicators out there?

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

I covet those book cases.

IKR!? Those images are just the kind of childish caricature I normally scroll past.

Why do you have her looking like a Hasidic Jew, for gods sake? Really smacks of antisemitism,imo. Maybe reconsider including that image? Yikes.

Maybe dependent on when you grew up- this was big back in early 70s. Also gender. Boys did not play jacks, as far as I can recall. Oh, and also age- jacks were for kids.

JACKS! Where'd they go???
Seriously, one of the most fun games ever.

I suspect they were shills for Trump from the get-go.

I know, right? Bill Barr is such douche, so it seems very believable.
I'm just one of those skeptics - aka "annoying people" - who must vet everything. I'd hate for bsky to turn into FB in regard to amplifying misinformation.

Best animal eyes ever!

The Georgians are so bad-ass.
Why can't this be happening here???

Did AG Barr Visit Jeffrey Epstein's Prison Before His Apparent Suicide? The claim comes from someone whose stated expertise on the topic is that in 1992 he repeatedly visited the same prison Epstein would be held in before the latter died in 2019.

900lb crates full of onions in a field

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

Men, We Need to Talk About "Rape Academy" This isn’t about women. This is about us. And it’s long past time we had this conversation

"There is a category of man I want to speak to directly: the ones who watch.

The friend who knows. The colleague who suspects. The family member who looks away...

It is your problem."

Sounds like they're exactly the people who *need* to hear it.

"Entire"? 🤣

A tweet quoting Senator Andy Kim criticizing being denied a briefing on the Iran war, with a video still of him speaking at a press conference alongside other officials.

It's so bad they won't even brief Congress.

And I thought I was the only one....

There are probably a few things that should get you banned from Hollywood forever but one of them is definitely writing or in any way being involved in a movie in which a dog dies

I don't know what we have to do to make clear to Hollywood that no one anywhere wants to see movies in which a dog dies

Also, a sociopath. Or a narcissistic sociopath, if you will. Just read "The Sociopath Next Door" and all I could think was: oh, this perfectly describes Trump.

It's so weird to me that faux Jesus/trump is trying to resuscitate a guy who appears to be *Epstein*. Visual Freudian slip? Maybe he's hoping Jeffrey can come back and bring him some more girls?

Thankfully, my business fully supported us workers asking folks to keep their masks on. Even when we had that one incident with a lady who threatened to come back, break all of our windows, and burn down the business. Fun times.

Lolz! I actually just randomly heard the Sex Pistols on my favorite local radio station today. First time ever.
