Twice as much funding goes to diseases that disproportionally affect men compared to those that mainly impact women. So … no?

1. Why, if you control OPM and have all the job details, do you need me to tell you what I do? 2. When did feeding your AI system become part of my job? 3. This is just another Fork email to intimate. You can't send Fork emails anymore, so this is the next latest crazy.

When you visit the parks enjoy your time and you see the rangers smiling and helping. Just remember that they probably didn't sleep the night before and that they probably spent the evening crying. We've also been secretly training bears to use tasers so if you're an asshole...

If someone wanted to train a new government AI, those email responses would be great input for an LLM…

Could make a really great joke about federal employees responding to the five bullets email by responding with a list of calibers, but I would never be that gauche

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Definitely sounds like an AI phishing expedition.

‼️CAUTION! DON’T LOG IN TO CHECK IF IT IS NOT YOUR SCHEDULED TIME TO WORK. Word is Federal Employees are getting an email from some douche to report in each week’s activity or you are resigning by not responding. They will use this op to look for insiders. Wait until Monday. #resistsafe

Grimes and the other lady should just tweet “failure to respond to your child’s mother will be taken as your waiving your parental rights.”

There are employees who work a 4x10 schedule with regular days off (RDO) Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and others with Sunday, Monday, Tuesday who will not get this email or have the opportunity to respond during working hours. There are others who do not access .gov email b/c they don't use computers.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

So Mad King Elon posted this about two hours ago and I've now seen one of the actual emails. Not going to mention the agency my source works out. But suffice it to say it's entirely shuttered. So everyone there was forced to stop working more than a week ago. The actual email is one is that in ...

🎯

on top of this being unenforceable bullshit, many federal employees cannot even access their email on the weekend without a work VPN. others can, but (unlike in musk’s world) it’s actually frowned upon to access off duty.

Will Geraldo Rivera join them? 🕵️‍♂️

🥺 SAD REALITY: we can no longer rely on any of our fed resources to be there when we need them. 👋 NO JUDGEMENT QUESTION to all Producers, Farmers, Ranchers: 🙋What will it take for you to agree to sell your farm? 💡Knowing this will help us focus finding resources to help our counties survive🐓🚜🧑🏽‍🌾

Maybe he’ll get lucky and the panels will come unglued and fly off.

The Conclave Academy Award campaign is going a bit too far.

Baseball analytics people, I encourage yall to join and submit an entry to my latest Kaggle competition: predicting strikeouts If you’re just getting into analytics or if you have a stuff model you want to put to the test, here’s your chance! www.kaggle.com/competitions...

Hire this man.

Notice how much of this comes down to STEM research and education? 🤔

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes *worldwide* because of USGS.

Students: THIS 👇 is one of the reasons to do the #SMTDataChallenge. A *big* part of analytics success is communicating your awesome ideas to non-quants. The Data Challenge helps you learn how. It’s no accident 20% of ppl who’ve submitted projects have been hired in sports!

Love is so powerful (it keeps JK Rowling away from you)

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

I’d guess they remembered their “Wisconsin Nice” constituents are also bizarrely heavily-armed.

its amazing the way conservative arguments fall completely apart in court when there are actually penalties for lying

It’s never safe to assume I can go back to bed on a Saturday morning.

lol

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

The Nats play their first Spring Training game today! Play Ball!
