Hey so I just used their feedback form to let them know that while I do not care what they fry their fries in, specifically framing it with this political gloss that lends credence to anti public health misinformation crusades means I cannot be their customer feedback.steaknshakevisit.com/Index.aspx

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is the latest federal agency to be hit with DOGE layoffs. That's the same agency that has investigated crashes involving Tesla's self-driving cars. This was never about "efficiency."

I can name the current governor of eight or nine states, which seems bad for someone who tries to keep up with current events, but twenty year old me would be shocked that I have this knowledge.

Hey, I'm going to do this, and I hope you will too. Not because I think a one day pause will be a devastating blow, but because coordinated action takes practice, and if you don't do the small stuff, you will have a harder time gearing up for the big stuff.

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

Your annual reminder that Intuit/TurboTax have spent 20 years using their lobbying power to prevent the federal government from offering you free and functional electronic tax filing. DirectFile finally delivers that, but they haven't stopped trying to kill it. www.opensecrets.org/news/2024/02...

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

If you brought ten meatballs from home, a single packet of Taco Bell Diablo sauce is sufficient. (I ate two before I realized that you might need to know this.)
