“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

most of the return-to-office mandates come from a similar place: managers who need to justify their own existence. because let's be real — if you can't rely on adults to work well from home, you did a shitty job of hiring.

I went to a Jesuit high school in the late 90s where I was taught a Jesuit would never be Pope. In February, 2013, I severed 2 friendships with high school friends I thought were ride-or-die and turned out to be toxic. On my 30th birthday, March 13, this Pope was elected & took the name Francis...

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.

The thing about advance compliance that people need to learn is that whatever you do to placate these guys will never be enough. They'll keep adding new things that you must do because they now know you're a pushover, and at the end of the day, they are just bullies that get off to cruelty.

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

NIKKI THE CHAMP 👑 Nikki Hiltz times their trademark kick PERFECTLY to pick up the U.S. title in the 3000m in 8:48.28 with a 59.66 final 400m. Hiltz has four national titles in the 1500m already but this is their first win over 3000m.

OK, yes, Popes choose a new name. But! If someone is referring to from before they were Pope, they are referred to as their old name. Cardinal Bergoglio for Pope Francis, Ratzinger for Benedict and Wojtyla for John Paul II. What I'm saying, OP, is start that biography. 😂

I kinda want to tell him about how I spent an hour convincing a coworker that rolling out a new process then troubleshooting errors was not the correct order, but I think that might be too subtle for him.

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”
