and there it is

I don't really know how to shout this from the rooftops any louder: If this actually happens, it would spell the end of U.S. numerical weather prediction--the scientific models, run on supercomputers, used to create virtually all weather forecasts. www.axios.com/2025/0...

Paige Bueckers is one of one 💪

Holy shit, that’s bad. Makes sense why they’re trying to exclude government spending to GDP to fudge the numbers.

Employees at the National Crime Victimization Survey--the federal government's team for gathering crime data on victims, twice a year--have been ordered to remove all questions related to transgender victims. There will no longer be any federal crime data on transgender Americans.

So that German tourist who’s been locked up by ICE for a month rather than deported or refused entry? That story is actually worse, they tried to put her on anti-psychotics. www.10news.com/like-a-horro...

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

In its fight against fascism, Israeli academia remains blind to a basic truth The government’s assault on democratic norms can't be separated from its oppression of Palestinians: they are two lobes of the same right-wing brain. Anat Matar www.972mag.com/israeli-libe...

Your occasional reminder that Andrew Cuomo's brother, at the time a CNN anchor, threatened to come to my workplace and beat me up because I called him out on Twitter for being a doofus.

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

Translation: Women with more experience that have had to work harder and longer than their male counterparts to earn less pay have started to be compensated more fairly and IT IS A PROBLEM

The move consigns untold numbers of the world’s poorest children, refugees and other vulnerable people to death, according to several senior federal officials. Local authorities have already begun estimating a death toll in the hundreds of thousands. www.alternet.org/the-trump-ad...

My current favorite animal.

Jeff Bezos is destroying a once proud newspaper because he wants to be in Trump's good graces. Not because he needs to, but because he wants to. Support independent, pro-democracy media that seeks no favor from Trump. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

It’s time for the general public to cause this parasite to experience some mental health issues.

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

'Did you even say thank you?'

War criminals.

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?

Francis Collins led the mapping of the human genome, and chose to do big scientific to benefit the public. He is a a former NIH Director. He just resigned his position in government. His resignation letter: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/u...

Tomorrow, Capital One Arena will host a U.S. Figure Skating event to honor the lives lost during January’s tragic plane crash.     Join us as we remember and pay tribute to their legacy.   The closest stations: Chinatown-Gallery Place and Metro Center, a 5 or 10-minute walk to the venue.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Gene Hackman and his wife tested negative for carbon monoxide poisoning, but cause of death still unknown, sheriff says.

Hegseth is a traitor.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊

New episode of LOVE IS KIMES recapping Love is Blind 10-12 with @daviddennisjr.bsky.social out now!!!!! 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l... 📺: youtu.be/2Mg75YIkGTY?...

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

NYT and WaPo getting dogwalked by the sexual assaulting pizza critic

Gene Hackman was truly one of the greatest screen actors of all time. He almost never hit a false note. Always mesmerizing. Rest in Peace, Gene. My favorite Gene Hackman movies: The Conversation Unforgiven Night Moves Bonnie & Clyde The French Connection Superman Mississippi Burning

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

The U.S. government has put up a submission form for reporting schools who teach kids about “DEI.” It accepts file uploads. Internet, you know what to do enddei.ed.gov

Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

King MuskTrump has wiped out the national database of police misconduct. Nearly 150,000 records of misconduct by federal officers erased, like it never happened.  Why would he get rid of the database he created? Because Trump will drastically scale back police accountability to appease right-wing TV

I just got fired from NWS . This email is all I know. Read if you want.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

Congrats to Ryleigh Cooper for being a fucking idiot.

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

NEW: Elon Musk is wreaking havoc on US science in Antarctica. Program managers have been purged; workers fear they could be fired while being trapped until October; foreign nations including China already recruiting, poised to take over. This is from @leahfeiger.bsky.social

A deadly mystery disease in Congo has killed 50+ people—half within 48 hours. Serious question: If a deadly virus hits our shores, how will we even know other than word-of-mouth? Trump pulled us from WHO, is gutting the CDC & put an antivaxxer who thinks WiFi causes “leaky brain” in charge of HHS.

BREAKING Legendary actor Gene Hackman and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, have been found dead in their Santa Fe home. Their dog was also found deceased. Hackman was 95, and Arakawa was 63. The news of their deaths was first reported by the Santa Fe New Mexican.

RFK Jr is such a fucking idiot.
