The aspect I miss from the bird app were communities of scientists banding together, from Black in ___ field to queer in science accounts, to #AAPI in STEM groups… If you’re here, please let me know so I can follow you!

A federal judge has now blocked a huge portion of the Trump administration’s plan to cut federal jobs and restructure numerous federal agencies. The order grants an injunction that pauses both further reductions in force and the ā€œreorganization of the executive branch.ā€

HARD DISAGREE with this headline but this was an incredibly fun conversation with @christress.bsky.social about how The Onion is punching so damn hard right now, and why that's good for both business and the world at large. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

We get badge readers at JSC starting tomorrow, but they went out of their way to specify that it’s only for building occupancy numbers and they are absolutely not tracking us individually. Right.

MA MA MA MA MASTERPIECE. #Andor

It’s been such a joy to write for Star Wars dot com during the airing of a series I think might end up as my favorite Star Wars of all time. Can’t wait for what I turned in today to publish. ā¤ļø

#Andor… I am bawling. Literally crying at how beautiful and amazing and perfect this show was. So sad it’s over.

It’s Mothers Day, and what does the internet recommend doing for the BPD mom who, during a trip just over a week ago, told me: ā€œYou are a rude, self-centered, condescending bitch who only thinks of herselfā€ I really didn’t understand just how much of a buffer my Dad was when he was still alive.

Holy shit #andor Just….amazing.

This is awful

Thanks for showing our AFGE Union rally at JSC last month on tonight’s show, @maddow.msnbc.com ! I’m in there towards the back 😊

Man Who Bumped Tesla While Parallel Parking Sentenced To Death

I had a tour of the JAXA Pressurized Rover mockup & used the restroom after a meeting ended right before tour time I dropped my phone in the toilet (before I went!) & was like ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ I grabbed some paper napkins, ran to the tour & PR Program Manager was there, looking at me drying my phone lol

Not all heroes wear capes.

This is really great news. It would be even better if the probationary employees could actually return to office to do the work they were trained to do instead of being stuck in limbo.

šŸ“£ OK, FOLKS, HERE COMES ANOTHER BIG ONE: New State Added: I've completed pie charts breaking out total population enrollment in Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare & ACA exchange plans for every Congressional District in #TEXAS: acasignups.net/cd-pie-chart...

Disgusting.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word ā€œterrorism,ā€ then expect to be called a ā€œterroristā€ soon yourself.

Writing a speech for this event tomorrow at the gates of JSC; I’m currently fueled by caffeine, Rage Against the Machine, and pure, unadulterated spite: #AFGE #Union #Labor www.mobilize.us/afge/event/7...

How I spent Friday. (Tesla service center in New Orleans).

I’ve been openly criticizing Musk for over 15 years bc it was obvious that he was the narcissist then that he is today. Can we also mention the time he sexually harassed 1 of his women employees? Showing up naked & asking her to stroke his penis? And then he joked about it, calling it ā€œelongateā€.

I’m in an Uber on the freeway riding to the airport and the driver is scrolling through pictures on his phone to show me something and I’m like… ā€œThe road…let’s focus on the roadā€¦ā€ Now he’s telling me about palm trees in the Bible. He’s a nice guy but I’m ready to get off this wild ride lol

Another day, another All-Hands. Shutdowns and Furloughs and RIFs, oh my!

I don’t know what to think of this phrase: ā€œwe began implementing a phased reduction in force, or RIF, today. These actions are occurring in advance of the agency’s RIF and reorganization planā€ Sounds like this is just optional practice layoffs in advance of the real ones.

The NASA office of technology, policy and strategy as well as the office of the chief scientist are both being shut down, and its overall science budget may be slashed by as much as 50%.
