I try to aggressively boost content on Mastodon because that's the way that #Mastodon works (you boost things that you find interesting and folks follow you because they have similar tastes) but ever since last month, I am struggling to find content that doesn't depress the s*** out of me.

So the OMB just sent out emails to federal employees asking them to justify their work for the past week. Employees were asked rather perfunctorily today to come up with a set of 5 bullet points before the end of Monday ET, and to CC their boss.

Things have been so much better since they started congestion pricing and I can't help but think the attempts to break it are just... petty. Anyways there is a rally @3 in NYC times square. Gotta get my wingtips on and catch the bus down there.

Some folks find it confusing that there's a survival game called Rust and a programming language called Rust, but there's an easy way to remember. If you get into Rust and there's a bunch of naked people running around killing each other with rocks, that's the programming language.
