Ever had a friend who seemed reasonable in person but was insufferable online?

This is anarchocapitalist Argentine President Javier Milei’s symbol (he’s there on stage at CPAC). Milei has a “Department of Deregulation” that Musk has consulted for DOGE. I suspect Musk got the goal of slashing 30% of federal spending from Milei

I wonder how many of the 21% that want to eliminate USAID consider themselves Christian, when it provides food and healthcare to some of the poorest people in the world.

As a Newsies Fan, I know the only way to become King of New York is to report on a story of workers standing up to their bosses.

DOGE has a snitch hotline for wasteful spending at USDA! They want you, yes YOU, to DM their twitter account about anything improper that you may have seen in the USDA budget. Here's their account: twitter.com/DOGE_USDA Let's help these public servants out!

@elienyc.bsky.social is always an amusing read while making great points. But with another pandemic on the horizon, do we really want to waste toilet paper on Gracie Mansion?

There were people complaining about the protests in the conservative subreddit. They were asking if any of those people had jobs. Apparently forgetting it was a holiday today, many people had off.

Considering the state of airlines and the FAA, pretty soon when a comedian gets on state and says "I just flew in from Kansas and boy are my arms tires" they might not be kidding.

So, quick question? Did he just set death = False, or also limit it to people actually receiving money? Because since Social security was established in 1935, the people receiving it would have been born starting in the 1830s. AKA, almost 200 years ago. Is that old data included in the database?

Clips from Firefly set to Defying Gravity from Wicked. It's the @idinamenzel.bsky.social and Kristin Chenowith version since it's from 2008. Amazing editing. Especially if you know Serenity moves by manipulating gravity fields. AKA Defying Gravity. youtu.be/MdXkGXD7gDc?...

It has been such a terrible few weeks, so it's nice to have this little bright spot.

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.
