The Zuckerbergs Founded Two Bay Area Schools. Now They’re Closing. Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, opened the schools to help communities of color. Some families wonder if the shutting of the schools is related to his D.E.I. retrenchment.

“‘Mommy, the guy who’s been giving money to our school doesn’t want to give it to us anymore,’” he told her.

El pasado lunes, día 3, Jerez de la Frontera (aeropuerto) batió el récord de lluvia acumulada en 24 para un mes de marzo, con 71.1 mm.

→ El récord anterior era reciente (del año pasado), con 61 mm. La estación registra datos desde 1946.

Early experiments from my Sliced Poems series.

Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.” • The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives. • The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000. Each point represents a federal agency: • Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs. • Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs. Key Observations: • Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates. • Notable targeted agencies include: • HHS (Health & Human Services) • EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) • NIH (National Institutes of Health) • CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) • Dept. of Education • USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) • The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies. • A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size. Takeaway: The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology. Source: Richardson, Clinton, & Lewis (2018). Elite Perceptions of Agency Ideology and Workforce Skill. The Journal of Politics, 80(1).

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Day 2 of SK8plotlib development completed 💪🛹👩‍💻

Today I did a complete rewrite of the physics engine - it is now MUCH more stable, supports user input, and can rotate the board to match the line below it!

All you need to do is pass a matplotlib figure to sk8plot() - it sets itself up automatically!

@minipetite.bsky.social Y feliz reyes. I'm aware this sounds like I'm promoting bridgy and can sound very spammy. But you can check it out, it's a legit service bridging Bluesky and Mastodon and other things. I wasn't a big believer in it initially, but it's catching momentum.

@minipetite.bsky.social Hi Marta. I'm not here much but would love to follow your posts from the Fediverse. Would you mind allowing brid.gy/bluesky/ for your account so we can follow you from Mastodon?
