Is there a German word that describes realizing that your company / team would be better off if your senior position was eliminated, so that the headcount could be repurposed to hire 2-3 less senior people instead?
I am a Staff-level SRE on a team inundated with manual / menial Ops work.

Sorry no insulin for Grandma, we are busy giving Ayatollah Ali Khamenei‘s more extremist son control of the Strait of Hormuz
Infamous George W Bush “Mission Accomplished” image, but AI has superimposed Donald Trump smiling like a dickhead and giving a thumbs up.
So I give it a month until we see some shit like this get unironically posted by this administration.
So Kristi Noem is a piece of shit, but I can’t say I know much about her husband. Other than being married to Kristi, did he do anything to deserve the kink shame going on right now?

Picture of palm trees with a bright light in the sky behind it, slightly occluded by clouds. You can see the sky is blue, but it’s not as bright as the daytime sky.
So I know long exposures are nothing new, but it sometimes is still wild to me that you can get pictures like this from a device in your pocket without a tripod.
No, this is not daytime.
I think the agreed upon rules thus far is no betting on yourself, no trading of insider information.
You know the team is in a shit place when, in response to another departure, you start cracking jokes in your team channel (in front of leadership) about betting on who’s next to go.
Media: do not lead with the false government framing of what happened
he knows that we know he's lying. he's telling us we're all terrorists to him. he's telling us that to dissent is now a capital crime. he's telling us they'll shoot us, too, and they'll say we deserved it.
Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.
Alex Pretti, presente 🙏🏽
The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors
Me too.
After seeing ICE execute another person on the streets, I told my permanent resident partner that I think it’s time we consider buying at least one firearm. She’s 100% against gun ownership so I know how this is going to go, but I’ve never before felt the need to exercise my second amendment rights.
At this point I am betting on a false flag operation to give the government “justification” to invoke the insurrection act and attempt to use military force on civilians.
It’ll be some shit if it’s the “libs” who end up being the ones who need to exercise their second amendment rights…
Thank you for your service, COVID-19 🫡

Obsessed with this juxtaposition
Agreed, but they did fly over at half time. I kept watching the ADS-B tracking.
Rose Bowl flyover?

Why is there a B2 Bomber doing circles over LA?

I hear the Epstein files are out. I’ll check back in about a week or two to see what OPSEC errors people found in the redacting / manipulating of the documents. 👀
Excuse my language but this looks like absolute dog shit.
Picture of a fairly large bird sitting on a power line. Too dark to clearly make out features.
Oh sweet! I think we have a Great Horned Owl now living in our neighborhood. Sorry for the poor shot, dark outside.
Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean
TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting
Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?
TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person
Next time someone asks what's the matter with Musk's Twitter, show them this:
An account in India, amplifying a billionaire from South Africa being cheered by an Irish passport holder (using an alias) to encourage civil unrest in the UK.
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”
Best callsign of the day goes to this military helicopter: COLT45
