It's not just one instance of a billion being only a million: "DOGE's only public ledger is riddled with mistakes," a team of New York Times reporters found. The figures are "full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

It is a coup. I don't know what to tell people. It's a coup. Like, people should be in the streets right now by the millions. They're not. That's a problem. And I hope Americans wake up quickly. Because the danger only rises by the day.

A loudmouth know-it-all as POTUS? Sorry, that position is currently filled. But please, check back. www.washingtonpost.com/style/2025/0...

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Elon Musk's first ex-wife (who is a novelist) wrote this harrowing account of his insane behavior back in 2010. Sadly, way too many people ignored it. www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a53...

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

This letter is a remarkable combination of stupid and ominous.

I remember being on the cutting edge of 2/20 Covid freak outs on Twitter and someone scolded me because, “All we need to do is wash our hands and it will be fine.” They deleted that reply a month or so later.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

One of the year's most acclaimed films, a documentary by Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers about the destruction of a village in the occupied West Bank was recently nominated for an Oscar, but no American company will distribute it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/m...

IMPORTANT: I have done a comprehensive survey of one’s possible musical options during an MRI and can state conclusively that Deep House is always the way to go. Don’t fight the horrid noises. Work with them. (Also tested: Classical, Music I Dig Now, various iterations of Music Loved at 16).
