So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Canada to start vaccinating vulnerable people for #BirdFlu. Just remember: This vaccine, Arepanrix H5N1, contains an inactivated #H5N1 grown in fertilized chicken eggs. Right now, we don't have enough eggs to produce this vaccine in large scale in case of a pandemic.

All I know is that we didn’t have this kind of weather when Biden was President! #EvenMotherNatureHatesTrump

Hope the NASCAR fans enjoyed their FOTUS experience today. #ETTD

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

“Elon got root access” is definitely going to wind up in court filings since that’s not what DOJ has been telling judges. Musk just quote-tweeted this, which seems like an admission they’ve been lying in court.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

The complete 4-hour epic! Soldiers from across Earth history, plunked down to fight each other! A problem too big for the Doctor to handle alone! Time Lords finally referred to by name in the series’ 6th season! The Doctor on trial, with his very future in the balance! youtu.be/gtb6K2ZVlH0?...

I’ve always liked this one. It’s got a great, creepy gothic vibe, a cool creature design, and a brilliant supporting cast that includes the Progenitor of the Cumberbatch, Wanda Ventham! youtu.be/wgbV3xiNYpM?...

Pertwee’s second story features the debut of the Silurians, who would return in conflict with the Fifth and Eleventh Doctors, as well as being the predecessors of one of my favorite modern-era recurring characters, Madame Vastra of the Paternoster Gang! youtu.be/_lyrIxOGhVc?...

But we’ll never know until it’s the #PandemicPresident’s second major health crisis, now that he’s muzzled all of the agencies who could have been reporting on it. www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Ohhhhhhh, FUCK ALL OF THAT. Keep your fucking church out of my fucking state. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Guess what, Trump-Humpers™️! Elon got paid SEVEN MILLION of YOUR DOLLARS to illegally take all of your personal and financial information!! Suck THEM eggs!!

REPEAT AFTER ME: NOBODY VOTED FOR ELON MUSK PASS IT ON.

I’m going to keep hitting this until they figure it out, because they are it…the Democrats are THE ONLY political opposition. They had three months to prepare for these acts. And they seem surprised and flat footed.

Which of course begets the Dipshit-Kruger Effect, where people with somehow less expertise or ability assume that someone who displays the Dunning-Kruger Effect loudly enough is automatically fair and correct in all matters, contrary quantifiable facts, evidence, or data be damned.

A cautionary tale about overdependence on technology, and the crises caused when it inevitably breaks down gives way to an alien invasion story involving the Ice Warriors. It suffers from the usual bloat of six-parters, but it manages to maintain some solid tension. youtu.be/-LWHh1D_5fY?...

MAGA: Trump is going to make the price of eggs go down Waffle House (2 weeks into the Trump presidency): there's an additional charge specifically for eggs now

Here’s musk’s minions

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Crimes are being committed. The hostile takeover of main branches of government by Musk and his tech boy minions is a junta. Our elected officials need to act now and arrest all involved.

5 alarm fire, folks.

A new, immoral Time Lord to complicate our hero’s life! Deliciously played by Kate O’Mara, The Rani’s disdain for both The Doctor and The Master gifted fans with a delightful undercutting of the usual fraught interplay between the previously-established rival Time Lords. youtu.be/mBnLLoMsJzw?...

Boycott these pussies. Do it loudly. www.muellershewrote.com/p/companies-...

NEW: I was asked to start compiling a list of companies bending the knee to the Trump regime by ditching their DEI programs. Here you go! www.muellershewrote.com/p/companies-...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I built a tool to help protect text against surveillance and fingerprinting. It detects hidden markers, special characters, and patterns that could be used to track the writer.

Happy Gobbler’s Knob Marmot Day, everyone!

COME ON, Dems. Don’t just placate and TALK about how awful everything they’re doing is, FIGHT like you’re actually willing to do what’s necessary to FIX it.

Are we great again yet? Did he save America yet? How ‘bout those gas and grocery prices? WHEN WILL THESE PEOPLE FIGURE OUT THAT THEY SOLD US ALL OUT FOR THEIR RACIST FEARS ABOUT IMMIGRANTS?!?!

NEW: Auto manufacturers say Trump tariffs will cause shutdown. One hour after Trump signed EOs to introduce tariffs in Canada, Mexico & China, the body that represents Honda & Toyota says assembly lines in both US & Canada will quickly shut down. 1 million Americans work in auto manufacturing.

America is going down fast. It’s like we’re Melania.
