Priceless post from the official White House social media
A lot about the world is very heavy right now but if a college football podcast that got jettisoned by Vox during the pandemic for not having a marketable audience can raise this much money for refugees in Atlanta in two days then just think of all the stuff we can all do together

When I first started with DoD I was generally impressed with them, but they steadily declined year after year, milking their incumbent status. A disgrace to defense contracting (one of many)
Exactly, they were the worst off. Such an anklebiting, morale sucking experience
Yeah Sato wait times grew consistently through my whole tenure (I guess cutting staff to save costs), and yes, if you managed a flight change yourself you could be hung out to dry by the travel office.
Just thinking about the DTS related headaches would have me twitchy within 3 hours of a flight. My current gig is a little but easier, but still not worth it.
The thing is you have a Secretary of Defense who quite literally does not think germs are real, he explicitly rejects germ theory
The question to ask isn't "why did pete do (x)," it's "why did roger wicker vote to confirm a guy who literally doesn't think germs are real"
So if Hegseth sees his shadow, it’s another six weeks with no oil?
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
Reminder: The Trump regime cancelled nearly $500 million in federal contracts for mRNA vaccine development last year.
Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.
I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.
Distinct impression that OMB is running on ideology, and Nasa, seemingly assuming Congress is going to grant the money anyway like last year, is more or less ignoring it.
Not how it’s supposed to work at all (and that’s not even touching the whole impoundment thing), but that’s what it looks like.
America is losing a talented researcher today.
Rümeysa Öztürk, whose abduction by masked men prompted a search and her eventual release by ICE, has returned to Turkey. She wants to resume a career without "state-imposed violence and hostility."

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.
Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%.
Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.
But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...
One of the most amazing thigns about raised by wolves was the way they transported a completely typical Danish woman and made her into a sci fi character without changing anything
A scruffy terrier has a treat in her mouth, but doesn’t seem to know what to do next. A cat looks on, scornfully
When you know the smart kids are laughing at you
If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:
Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M
That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.
It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
just did a micro-dive on this and food (incl. pasta) printers are… surprisingly affordable? like it is definitely an iffy financial decision but doable.
also one is called the “foodini” lmaoo

The Cheyenne was wild, but naming a program after a failed program would not have been my move tbh
T rex is Allosaurs in its Vegas years
Any Jax friends on here want to see the Neil Diamond Broadway musical tonight at the Moran Theater? Last minute but I can’t make it and didn’t want the tickets to go to waste.
one of these years we are gonna have to catch our breaths long enough to tell the story of how the rampaging generosity of this community broke Google Sheets, Excel, several custom-crafted databases and caused at least one major fundraising platform to request a case study on us
We (once again) kindly urge journalists to include IMO numbers of the vessels they write about because Dark Fleet tankers in particular may change names and flags by the time the articles have done their rounds for the week.
Thanks,

Only international media now seems capable of pointing out how far America has sunken into the ridiculous.
I’m in England, in a field of Barley. Today, I’m going to collect wild yeast under that tree back there, and I’m going to show how to feed and grow it until it’s ready to bake with. We are going to start at the very beginning, and end at the end.
