man i am just straight up not interested in people who will be perfectly okay in the next couple years moaning in public over and over and over again that we’re all cooked and doing nothing else. fuck off man! some of us have things to live for

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

I have to wonder about the American strategy of spending three decades defunding and mocking the humanities, forcing kids into STEM fields whether they like it or not, and then rug-pulling the entire US science & medical sector because you got mad at women online.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Meryl Streep did WHAT.

Honestly? I deleted Bluesky off my phone, because after just 72 hours, I could not take mainlining panic and bad news for one single second longer. I'm inclined to recommend that other people do the same. Inhaling every second's worth of depressing, awful shit isn't going to help you or anyone else.

George Takei or Dolly Parton. Not that Dolly would ever (directly, I mean).
