Become ungovernable by insisting on pronouncing “DOJ” phonetically

Whoa whoa whoa is the MAGA movement’s stated support for women’s sports less than sincere??!?

That’s some good reporting.

Everything else aside, these are some bad sleep habits

Funny at a deep level how Elon bought the container of a social network but not the substantial thing: the actual people, now all leaving. The guy bought a Coke can and thought he bought a can of Coke. There’s a difference!

Fun lil fantasy from 2019 www.washingtonian.com/2019/10/10/t...

My Statement on How the Trump and Musk Attack on National Institutes of Health Funding Is Targeted Attack on Massachusetts. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...

This is sabotage on a massive scale

Regular reminder that this entirely comes down to retirements. I think it's good that old people are able to stop working, and that we have payroll-tax-paying-aged people coming here from around the world to keep things going

Rubio claims that @USAID lifesaving assistance for health and humanitarian needs will continue. But his team just communicated that the entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 people. Just 12 in Africa.

Something making this all especially surreal is that we’ve had a rotating series of respiratory viruses in the family and have essentially been isolated from the larger world for the better part of a month.

My Bluesky app was acting slow this morning, which reminded me how important its continued functioning will be in the months ahead. I bet users would voluntarily donate to help BS build out their cyber defenses, offshore their servers, etc (I don't know what I'm talking about, but you get the idea).

people are joking about maple syrup in the replies here, but there are going to be serious arbitrage opportunities for people who carry physical gold over the border.

Make Smuggling Great Again

Posting this every day

Bluesky needs an (easy to set up) option to automatically nuke your own posts after a couple days.

Again, at what point will this lead to a crisis of confidence in aviation safety? Airlines should be terrified.

Imagine if a major dem stood up on TV and simply said, “I’m afraid to fly on airplanes right now.”

They’re going to punish student debtors too

There are very few normal people posting on Twitter any more. It's all paid-blue-check weirdos trying to make an impression on other paid-blue-check weirdos.

Costco keeps making me like it more and more

I will say again that Massachusetts (or other blue states) could achieve an enormous competitive advantage by instating rent/mortgage amnesty for anyone affected by these federal-level freezes and/or emergency declarations. Especially if the policy is designed to turn on automatically.

Surprised to see Trump continuing to support RFK's nomination despite the fact that RFK delivered his end of the bargain—his endorsement—months ago. Why not stiff this contractor like the others?

if nobody asks him about the 'roids what are we even doing here
