Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

“Academics should learn how to incorporate AI into literature reviews.”

The heads of multiple federal agencies have told their employees not to respond to Musk’s email. Seems like Musk would’ve gotten approval for this draconian change in policy from Trump, with Cabinet officers informed in advance. But no, because this admin is in utter chaos.

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Indeed it does.

So fucking tired of having to deal with assholes.

Trump announced that he's signing an order directing AG Pam Bondi to head a task force "to eradicate anti-Christian bias". You can’t make this shit up…

These dickheads want to think of themselves as gilded age industrialists when in reality they invented some fucking app for short term rentals of birds or some other shit that hemorrhages money every year, will never be profitable, and is kept afloat through constant injections of venture capital.

Elon Musk bought the United States of America—the most powerful nation in the world—for $200M. For scale, Steve Ballmer bought the LA Clippers for $2B. The fucking Clippers.

You can’t spell FELON without ELON.

Our officer corps needs to remember this. "I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..." Nothing in there about billionaires.

Apparently, the administration wants to deport citizens. So that's fun. www.npr.org/2025/02/04/g...

I have to feel bad for the leaders of Mexico and Canada. It must be like dealing with a spoiled toddler.

Was Kanye's stunt at the Grammys just another move to flood the zone by a Trump ally, or was it just Kanye being Kanye? I can't tell. Either way, the result is the same: news outlets talking about a dress instead of ELON MUSK LOOTING THE TREASURY.

If a 19-year-old Canadian who calls himself Big Balls marches into your federal agency and demands access to your system, telling him to fuck right off should be the mildest reaction you have.

At. Gunpoint. Musk is telling duly appointed and security cleared government officials that they will be shot if they don't turn over to Musk sensitive information to which he has no right. In any other country, we'd call it a coup.

"guy who had and then tried to hide a phone call with Vladimir Putin tried to access a SCIF at a federal building" is usually 'they shoot you' kind of shit but the traitors are running the country now so

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director? DUFFY: *walks away* (The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

Fabergé was just a bit ahead of his time on egg prices.

I had been using "Dolt 45" (and will probably continue) to refer to TFG, but I just discovered "Napoleon Bonespur," and I kind of like it.

Apparently we have a "classic country" radio station now. The very first song I heard on it was from 2005, two years after Johnny Cash died.

I hate this stupid "warrior mindset" bullpucky. We don't want warriors, we want soldiers. Soldiers are disciplined and work in teams. They follow lawful orders and expand intelligently on them as the situation requires. A soldier fights with skills and intelligence honed by training.

Better proximity to kiss the ring. Or ass, really. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re doomscrolling right now for no reason and you’re ignoring a good book you’ve been reading, you can just stop doomscrolling and read the book instead. I’m sure gonna.

1/10, would not recommend. Would have given it a zero, but it is wet. And it's impressive that a beverage with five ingredients manages to have a chemical aftertaste.

I look at the destruction in LA and am reminded of all the voices I heard immediately after Katrina saying, "We shouldn't rebuild these areas people shouldn't be living in." And I know we won't hear that about LA, even though these fires happen more often than hurricanes.

I will admit that I am far too invested in the new congestion pricing in NYC for someone who lives in SC. But I have driven over the Queensboro Bridge a *lot* this year for work.

Nice one Liverpool
