when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

For 38 years, PRAMS has collected critical data on maternal-child health with the goal to reduce infant morbidity and mortality. CDC has officially halted the 2024 PRAMS data collection for the participating 46 states and the future is uncertain.

One thing this little bleat from Chad “Damp Little Britches” Mizelle demonstrates is the duality of Trumpism: it’s about simultaneously being (1) a tough truth-telling masculine elbow-thrower and (2) as fragile as a porcelain goose. Bullies who can dish, but weep at the slightest pushback. Losers.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

So Elon and Duffy lied about DOGE just getting a tour of FAA. By the time Duffy lied about doge they were already being on boarded as staffers. They’re there to “fix” air traffic control. www.wired.com/story/faa-do...

I don't in any way mean this to make light of either side of the analogy: there's a real "when you're the head of a great power, they let you do it"— grab 'em by the Crimea— to Trump's view of Ukraine & Russia. The aggressor is entitled. The blame goes to anyone who's nasty enough to resist.

Two DOGE workers are now at CISA (DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) I've confirmed. Edward Coristine, the 19-yr-old known as Big Balls, and Kyle Schutt, a 37-yr-old software engineer. Marisa Kabas (bsky.app/profile/mari...) was first to report about Coristine. My piece for Wired

I'm seeing reactions that "this is all a distraction!" but no, this is a pretty good illustration of Trump's authoritarian turn and a nice way to break through to normal folks who think he's doing normal things.

This is, btw, right out of the Nazi playbook to dehumanize people and give them a permission structure to hate.

It is incredibly frustrating to watch wildland firefighter forums right now. They are discussing how Trump's bullshit is ruining their careers and jeopardizing public safety. Wondering who is going to fight for them. They are the most sympathetic case possible. Where are the Democrats?

it appears Delaware Dems and the (also Dem) governor are attempting to rip up Delaware corporate law so they can give 55 billion dollars to Elon Musk, with a bill written by Elon's own lawyers www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/02/...
