Listen…I don’t say this often…but some of y’all need Jesus

Albert Hofmann describing the 10 hour progression of his hallucinogenic experience, from mild nausea, to trees appearing alive and threatening, to “afflicted by mollusk-like forms and feelings”, to awakening from a short sleep by “a kind of inner explosion of all the senses” to feeling normal again.

I’m reading a collection of papers about the Eleusinian mysteries and hallucinogenic mushrooms, and this is Albert Hofmann’s notes upon taking one of the candidate hallucinogens

She’s now convinced that White moms are faking their kid’s autism for clout (she is Latina) and that autism rates are lower in Latin America because they feed their kids better???

In case you’re wondering what the #MAHA discourse about autism looks like right now…it’s really bad

An ominous way to wake up…

Thank you for being open about this! I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 28 and in my last year of my PhD program. Because I did well in school and wasn’t fidgety, no one suspected it. Getting diagnosed literally changed my life and only for the better.

2 people injured after Horse-related training incident at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall Arlington authorities breifly search

And yes this is a real thing that happened: wjla.com/news/local/h...

So dangerous that the big breaking local news yesterday was a bunch of horses escaping from the military base across the street.

Got laid off. Gonna hide for a day before applying to pretty much any non-contracting job that vaguely fits my skills. Just…so tired.

that's nice
unrelated, check out how cool my state's seal is

All I can think about is how Ben Barres is probably rolling in his grave at Andy defending literally anything this horrific transphobic administration is doing.

I shouldn’t be surprised to see that Andy Huberman has said jackshit about the massive layoffs at NIH and other HHS agencies, but seeing him defend the indirect cuts as “giving more money to grants” is fucking appalling. Pretending this is about supporting young scientists is a bald-faced lie

Oh shit I think I did back on Twitter? Let me try and track down where I posted everything.

Meme showing screenshots from Star Wars where Padme says “so this is how liberty dies” and instead of saying “with thunderous applause” it says “with a coup by a fake government agency named after a meme run by the most divorced man alive and his troop of incel twinks”

Treasury Department Says DOGE Access Is ‘Read Only’ The letter comes after people tied to billionaire Elon Musk gained unusual access to the system.

We have two very different assessments of what's going on here:
1-The official story, from Treasury, that there's nothing to see here, it's just an "operational efficiency assessment"
2-The story from the IT professionals in the government, that this is a code rewrite in progress.
I believe #2.

Last week, regional managers for the General Services Administration, or GSA, received a message from the agency's Washington headquarters to begin terminating leases on all of the roughly 7,500 federal offices nationwide, according to an email shared with The Associated Press by a GSA employee.

LOL these people are so incompetent.

"Come back to the office! Which we're selling!"

IIRC, this is exactly what Twitter did—order people to report to an office that they then abandoned. apnews.com/article/trum...

Maybe someone with the means to do so should take out a full-page ad in as many newspapers as they can that just says “ELON MUSK HAS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER”

She absolutely does not. She’s a full on “the Democrats are all secret pedos” conspiracy theorist. And of course she sells Young Living oils to cure your kid’s autism

An Instagram story post by a user named thewarriorcenter. The picture is of cars driving on the freeway. The deplorable and racist text reads “instead of deporting the illegal’s, let’s have them hunt down 5 child predators for a citizenship. Call it Alien vs Predator”

In case you’re wondering how things are going on my finsta, they’re happy as fuck and just getting more and more openly racist by the second

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

“Reducing the number of regulations is a clear positive going forward” in absolute shambles.

Google Maps (left) has restored Route 1’s former, racist name because they’re fucking cowards. Can’t believe I have to go back to using Apple Maps (right)

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

A source sent me a copy of one of the anti-"gender ideology" memos being shared among federal departments today. This was sent to the Department of Health and Human Services. They have a 5PM deadline to take down "all outward facing media... that inculcate or promote gender ideology."

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

Yep.

22 minutes ago By Lori Aratani Reporter focusing on transportation issues, including airports, airlines, and the nation's railroad and subway systems The crash is likely to renew debate over safety at Reagan National Airport. Last year, as part of legislation to fund the Federal Aviation Administration, Congress added five additional round-trip flights at National. The decision came over the objections of members of the D.C.-area congressional delegation, who have long argued that the airport is at capacity and that adding more flights could compromise its ability to operate safely.

18 minutes ago Collision follows string of close calls at airports By lan Duncan The crash Wednesday night comes after a string of close calls at Reagan National Airport and other airports, beginning in early 2023, that had alarmed officials and the airline industry. In May 2024, an American Airlines flight aborted a takeoff at National Airport after it was at risk of colliding with a private jet. There had been a similar incident the previous month involving a Southwest Airlines plane and a JetBlue Airways flight. The Federal Aviation Administration views close calls as a sign that the aviation system is under stress and gathered industry leaders early in 2023 to begin trying to address the problem.
