The White House asking every federal employee to send an email summarizing what they did last week is something that FOIA lawyers dream about

@extremearturo.bsky.social had a piece this morning on the parallels between DOGE austerity and Milei's program, and it's worth flagging: 1 in 8 Argentinians has fallen into poverty under Milei's policies.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

Rules 1. MAGA do not care about contradictions, everything that they do is transactional, they are nihilists and are ONLY concerned with money and power 2. NOTHING that they say is true and they don't care at all, they understand the first-message advantage 1/

I just released a new tool: a "texture browser" for UE5.5 that presents materials as square thumbnails instead of spheres. Like a 90s texture browser. Much better for level designin'. Has favourite searches, quick access to recently-used materials, etc. www.joewintergreen.com/new-tool-imp...

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

A TRO is an emergency motion that imposes temporary relief that only lasts couple of weeks until there's a full hearing for an injunction. It is anything but unusual for a judge to be vocally unthrilled about a motion to put something that happened 2 or 3 weeks ago on hold for 2 or 3 weeks.

In 2 years time the average prosecutor will be a Liberty University graduate who just got their law license and will spend half their day getting dressed down federal judges. They'll spend the other half of that day yelling at their Senators to impeach said judges.

So @stevevladeck.bsky.social correctly calls out the “this isn’t quid pro quo” footnote in the Bove “dismiss Adams” memo. It’s farcical. It’s self-defeating. Again: so many of these people are so ideology-clouded that their advocacy sucks. www.stevevladeck.com/p/124-the-th...

I think attitudes towards government employees are a bit like attitudes towards race and religion and sexuality. Plenty of people are unregenerate bigots in the abstract but have That One Black Friend who They Don’t Think of As Black. There are exceptions in the particular, unreconciled. /1

"The first lady’s cut is more than 70% of the $40 million ... And they’re still looking for more: Melania’s agent has been trying to sell 'sponsorships' for the film—starting at $10 million—to prominent CEOs and billionaires who were at the inauguration..."

Republicans have demonstrated large numbers of people can be induced to be upset about made-up nonsense nobody cared about two weeks previous. Seems like it maybe ought to be possible to get them to care about real and actually important stuff, even if they don’t currently.

A perverse symmetry: Elected Republicans increasingly actually believe the nonsense that used to just be propaganda for the rubes, while elected Dems act like the very real extraordinary threat posed by Trump is just rhetoric they don’t take seriously.

Cosigned. Your followers are ghosts. Your big number means nothing. Any art you're posting is being fed directly to Grok. It throttles outgoing links to the point of uselessness. You mere presence empowers one of the worst men alive. Like, seriously: why are you still there? Where is the line?

A lot of people are suddenly reposting this old skeet, but it needs updating. Twitter accounted for 1% of my November Kickstarter's funding. For the current project? Right now, Twitter accounts for 3 backers out of 1,101 (.003%) and $55 out of $19,126 (.003%). So, even worse.

The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, United States DOGE Service, as an entity insulated from public records requests or most judicial intervention until at least 2034 (Important reporting here by NYT Minho Kim) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

The fact that Trump is so senile and listless makes be both less concerned about any sort of durable authoritarianism surviving him and much more concerned about an acute catastrophe happening

EXCELLENT. Listen, I know we're all worried about the rule of law holding up, but every one of these Temporary Restraining Orders is another message to the public that Musk and Trump are breaking the law willy-nilly. That is going to help in terms of organizing against them, no matter what.

I've watched the halftime show three times now and that was 100% not a halftime show - that was pure theater. That was Hamilton by way of This is America. Award categories need to be invented so Lamar and his team can sweep them. That was fucking epic. What a bold piece of performance art.

I hear hate and spite are negative qualities, but you better believe I aspire to hate and spite to the point of ascendance that Kendrick has achieved.
