Oh you don't have a completed financial conflict of interest form (OGE Form 450 or 278), that has been adjudicated and signed by an attorney in your agency's Office of General Counsel? Well then, you're not permitted to work as a Special Government Employee, and also you're breaking the law.

you can tell the people trying to gut the government have never had a real job because they landed on "one micromanaging email" as the thing that would break regular people

Help... in particular, any archaeologists. With the one exception of The Quarry near Shrewsbury. Do we have any evidence of these claims? There are so many "ruralhistoria" type pages, wiki entries all making these claims. I really want to find more academic papers supporting this.

I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/

When universal asset owners flex muscle… @reuters.com “CEO Harmen van Wijnen said the companies no longer fit the fund's governance criteria. FD reported last month that ABP had sold its shares in Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab for the same reason.” www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.

I think it's important to remember that the totalities & unities totalitarianism tries to signify are never actually total. They always fail, in every moment. This is why fascism requires so much violence. The violence doesn't signify totality; it signifies failure. "There's a crack in everything."

How will the funding freeze affect those who are going up for tenure? Will institutions be more hesistant to tenure someone who doesn't get funded as a result of the freeze and with anticipated substantial budget shortfalls? #AcademicSky #PublicHealth

NEH introduces new prohibited categories to comply with executive orders. This is an infringement of academic freedom plain and simple, and also nonsense: what is “discriminatory equity ideology”

An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

“No employee is required to report outside their department chain of command” should have been the universal position of every agency since Jan 20 considering how it is, you know, the law.

Dear manager, This week: 1) I asked why are them jaws so strong? 2) I asked why are them claws so long? 3) I asked why do you gnaw through to the marrow of the bone? 4) I've seen the hungry little fish make the flesh no more. 5) I've seen the the high tide bring them bones to the shore. Brandon

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Back in the early 2000's one of my BILs was an elected county official from Sandpoint and would tell us horror stories. He got on several people's bad side because he opposed them, and was so outspoken he wasn't re-elected. He said good riddance, didn't want to be associated with those Nazi fucks. 🤬

It is well past the time to realize that Russell Vought, Elon, and the entire GOP are fucking psychopaths and if they want to inflict trauma on federal bureaucrats than the opposition should respond in kind

1. This place is not a place of honor. 2. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. 3. Nothing valued is here. 4. This message is a warning about danger. 5. The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
