Letter from congress that is incredibly alarming. Looks like #DOGE got access to #nasa and they use the word ominous. democrats-science.house.gov/imo/media/do...

Not surprising, but I've seen a noticably higher demand for this shirt in the last few weeks. It's on sale if you want one too or perhaps as some kind of holiday gift for a loved one 🎁 www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/1130...

Cartoon: Just leaving this alternative version here.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

these dipshits would rather crown one of the dumbest men alive king of the Dark Geniuses than admit that they're fucking idiots themselves

Infuriating media habit: acting as if their own coverage had no impact and/or doesn’t exist

Scientists have reconstructed the insane weather of Tylos, a world so hot, and so close to its sun that the clouds are made of vaporised metal, and where it rains liquid sapphires and rubies. https://buff.ly/41a3GnB #ShareGoodNewsToo

I think some people don't realize that punching Nazis *is* the compromise. You can get up after a punch.

"America’s “post-truth” departure from factual objectivity, in other words, is a consequence of its near wholesale embrace of the fascist mythology that reality can become whatever one has the will to make of it... 1/2

Just a reminder that the neither the U.S. Digital Service (which has been converted into DOGE) nor OPM has any legal authority to direct every single federal government employee to give them a job summary. Literally no such authority at all.

Do you want more money laundering? Because this is how you get more money laundering www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

A great distillation of the issue!

One thing that I haven't seen calculated yet is just how expensive the current Governments cancellation of years worth of work, and reviews, and on the ground projects has actually been. Not the *savings* they claim, but how much had already been spent on being at the point it was before austerity.

No 'official record' of school lunch feedback. David Seymour says he's getting lots of feedback that kids love the lunches - but neither he, his office, the MOE, the School Lunch Collective, nor their PR company could provide evidence of this claim. So it is 💩!!! www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Luigi Mangione, accused of killing the UnitedHealth CEO, was back in court on February 21. Hundreds of supporters packed the courthouse and the streets outside.  Read more from @miasato.bsky.social on the ground: www.theverge.com/law/617946/l...

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

Most Ukrainian cities have not been destroyed. Ukrainian law prohibits holding elections in wartime (unlike the US Constitution, which requires it). isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

Ukraine has not suffered "millions" of losses by any reliable estimate, either in terms of civilian or military casualties. isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

Mister "I used to run an airline" seems increasingly out of his depth.

Te Atatū MP Phil Twyford has written to the charities regulator asking for Destiny Church to be struck off. "Destiny's actions were certainly oppressive, which meets the definition of wrongdoing in the law, and so they should lose their tax deductible status," he said. #destinychurch #kiwi

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Any countries building Starlink into their telecom systems should be thinking twice right now.

NZ media really did say "we're literally going to stop covering Tim Jago and not challenge ACT about their role at all", didn't they. Any "NZ media defenders" still out there who want to have a go?
