It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Understand USDA is now fast tracking to rehire front line employees working on bird flu outbreaks. They were “accidentally” fired by the administration. Translation: Nice job Musk! You and your friends will still get your tax breaks, but higher egg prices for everyone else.

Bird Flu is spreading across the nation and putting the country in danger. The Trump administration response is to fire USDA microbiologists fighting the disease. We are using every tool available to us to stop them.

I'm watching the OJ Simpson documentary on Netflix. I can't believe how much I remember about this. My memory has always been sharp, but I was very, very young during this. Also, I've had a TBI since then, during which I lost much of my memory for a time. But I guess I got it back.

Biden was Not Great™ on Gaza-Israel but he at least wanted some degree of self-determination for Palestinians. Yet this guy is openly espousing ethnic cleansing and occupation of Palestinian land.

I fail to see how this post from @wajali.bsky.social "hurts Democrats." Republicans proudly walked out of their fascist, racist closet 10 years ago and have been spewing their bile openly ever since. Shit-talking MAGA supporter Patrick Mahomes during the Super Bowl does not compare.

Trash ass Chiefs with Christian nationalist kicker and Trump loving Mahomes family kicked into the dirty by the Eagles who come from a city with a big Black population during a Super Bowl with Kendrick Lamar and a super Black halftime show all in front of Trump. Love it.

I stayed off the internet yesterday evening because I wasn't in the mood to see all the people triggered by Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime show. But it was everything I hoped for and more. That was so coded, and I had a had a huge grin on my face the whole time because of it.

Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

My (only) toilet stopped working this evening. It overflowed into my kitchen, down through the ceiling light. I turned the water off and called a plumber after hours. He said, "I have to charge you the call fee, but you're doing everything right. Just keep plunging until you get pushed back."

I'm supposed to be in a Teams interview right now; it should have started 10 minutes ago. Obviously, I'm being blown off. I got up early to prep for it. Looking for work in an employer's market is dehumanizing.

Trump's proposal to turn Gaza into a resort for his son-in-law is horrific. It is the logical end result of Bibi's actions for the last year. But it is ALSO a place where there should be friction from some entities he has been counting on. It is ALSO proof of the way he's monetizing the presidency

Jasmine Crockett and AOC have been killing it. 8 years ago, I could barely tolerate AOC because her sole focus seemed to be trashing her own party. She still has some criticisms, many valid, but I think being in the Capitol during January 6th fundamentally changed her.

All of these criticisms are bruising to Musk's paper-thin ego because, aside from the Trump tariffs, most of the fuck-ups over the past two weeks are attributable to his imaginary DOGE position. Elon done fucked up; his (illegal) mandates may have killed 60+ people. His role here is precarious.

White man on WhitePeopleTwitter crime! (Elon is such a chump. He never recovered from being dumped by Amber Heard based on his personality flaws, which likely reminded him that he'd have to live life as an incel without his billionaire grift.)
