You know, while I'm not saying this actually happened, it is mighty suspicious that JD Vance met with the pope right before he died.

Working for a state department of health right now is wild. Not only do we have a measles outbreak in our state, but we are constantly getting new federal guidance from vaccine deniers and cuts to federal spending on public health. The government is supposed to protect, not encourage death

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

They were never about free speech. They just wanted to say fucked up shit and get away with it.

BREAKING: Trump is now saying that tariffs on Mexico and Canada could go higher than the 25% rate briefly imposed earlier this week.

BARTIROMO: Can you give us a sense of whether or not we're gonna get clarity for the business community? TRUMP: The tariffs could go up as time goes by. BARTIROMO: So that's not clarity. TRUMP: For years the globalists have been ripping off the United States.

BREAKING: SpaceX's Starship EXPLODES, causing FAA to halt flights at 4 major airports The previous Starship also exploded, in January THIS is why FAA probed SpaceX for safety And THIS is why Musk has been trying to kill FAA - and why he should NOT get any more govt contracts

The road to hell is paved with maintaining decorum.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

At this point, gotta call a spade a spade

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Genuinely trying to decide whether to cut off friends (who don't reach out much) who voted for trump or not. I never thought I would be in that position, but knowing that our values so egregiously do not align is hard for me to reconcile

And we finally got a job offer! A low ball offer, but I just need to get a job with the impending trade war and the can push for a solid raise later. Also, not working for an evil company, so that's good.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

Despite the crappy news and feeling like the world is ending every other hour, a two foot snowstorm never ceases to lift the spirits. Also, the ice beard keeps the face warm by keeping the wind off.

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

They only back the institutions that keep them in power

Gotta love watching the final chapter of america

A lesson from the TikTok Affair should be that bipartisan efforts to preserve U.S. national security are vulnerable to the incoming president getting bought off and switching sides for his own personal and political benefit. Not great!

Writing a personal app and website to advertise my services is quite funny when they are "professional singing, ski instructing, and software services" lol

The capitulation is complete. Jodi Ernst signals her support of Pete Hegseth, an alleged sexual predator. Ernst, a veteran and a survivor of sexual assault, has no principles. She's chosen to risk our national security by installing an unqualified hack to preserve her power.

President Biden's move to to create two national monuments in California — that together will prevent mining and drilling as well as wind, solar and other energy development across more than 848,000 acres — means that he's protected more federal land than any other president. nyti.ms/4h69HYU

Action shots on a pow day are sweet ⛷️🏔️

Learning flutter right now, and man is it so much nicer than react for web. As an android dev who uses jetpack compose, this is so nice. The added benefit of a unified code base for all platforms is quite nice as well

Less than halfway into the season, and I have already met my amount of days skiing over the last two years. Granted, I am not skiing much on most days, but I am on snow and improving my skiing a lot as an instructor. Imma be shredding in a year ⛷️⛷️⛷️

Applying to tech jobs right now is such a pain. Every job has over 100 applicants after an hour of being up

Although my network here is small, I was wondering if anyone knew of any rewilding legs in new mexico that I could volunteer with? Trying to do my best to be involved in the climate fight. #NMWild

A funny thing is reading about meta having an outage while on Facebook...

One benefit of a tech layoff is that I am now being certified as a ski instructor on my local mountain where I learned to ski as a kid. Spending a winter as a paid ski bum is pretty sweet. #skibueno #skinm

With the recent Washington Post article about most Republicans now thinking the economy is good. Since Trump has won, I think it shows that they didn't actually care about the economy and more about the identity politics on the right
