@searchlightnm.bsky.social is hoping to connect with people in New Mexico who have lost their jobs at: the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. Reach me at [email protected]. Please RT.

I would like to see this month's national productivity stats

I don't know if anyone caught it during the Treasury rally today, but. Rep. McIver straight-up said that her Republican colleagues are leaving their phones off the hook because they don't want to hear from their constituents. THAT is what Dems should be preaching from every corner, every day.

do taxes go to the same address after a coup? asking for friend.

I’m so tired. This says it all. www.wonkette.com/p/an-open-le...

@washingtonpost.com if only there were a word for guys who attend white nationalist conferences and "have controversial ideas about race"

sharing for friends who may need to think about how to protect their marriages:

I saw elsewhere that Elon posted X will be banning people who criticize Trump et al. Can anyone still watching there confirm? Just as I was thinking maybe we should go back there (or go there, I was never much for Twitter) to reach even a minority of on-the-fence folx.

maybe stop calling it a "DEI purge."

this is modern journalism. @wired.com "built software to systematically check the status of 1,374 government domains. The tool runs periodic scans, tracking whether sites remain accessible, how their servers respond, and if the domain names still resolve."

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Musk's cronies tried to to gain access to classified USAID data. USAID Director of Security John Voorhees security said no. The Musk people threatened to call in the US Marshals and take the data at gunpoint. They still said no. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/02/p...

Reposting because we are the distribution system for independent news.

There are two kinds of person

Cooperative nail grinding with Kronos. If he bumps the dremel, I touch a foot; if he stays, I isolate the nail; if he stays, I bring the dremel close; if he stays, I grind briefly and treat. If he pulls his foot away I also treat, often off the towel to see how fast he comes back to play again.

It feels weird to post work stuff here. But I'm gonna, in part because I'd like to eventually just have one social media place.

Substack comes out in favor of Elon. read.substack.com/p/the-fight-...

I should just get "can they do that" tattooed on my forehead

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

It's interesting timing that every single service seems to be kicking off a big AI campaign just as all the owners barnacle themselves to Trump's ass and Trump seeks partnership and investment in AI. Today I turned off or diminished how it is used (hopefully) on every account I could.

well, they did in fact mean ownership by the US government: www.cbsnews.com/news/perplex...

Today we introduced an actual toothbrush instead of just the finger I was using to last time. I started with a finger cot and then decided to try a handled brush. You can see slight hesitation the first time I present it, but on the next rep that’s gone. (Hey, @skylight.social can I test your app?)

I fucking told you so.

funny story about stimulus control: I kept my foot super still for like 30 minutes yesterday, apparently perceiving this folded back blanket as Finn

Barron's on TikTok: "Trump said on Sunday that he would like the U.S. to have ownership in a joint venture with 'the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership in a joint venture set up between the U.S. and whichever purchaser we so choose.'" 😐

I started working with Kronos on cooperative tooth brushing before the holidays. Today was our first session back at it after a month. We were able to introduce beef flavored toothpaste and some tooth rubbing today!

This is exciting. My favorite app is by far Instagram and I'd love to be able to replace it, not try to squeeze what I do into a more Twittery format: techcrunch.com/2025/01/15/b...

When this orthopedic bed was behind the couch, Finn rarely chose it, instead laying where he could see me. I moved the bed to the front of the couch, and voila, Finn has been choosing it. "Preference” is a product of, in part, all the possible paths to reinforcement available—or not—at a given time.
