No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The quote is, unsurprisingly, completely out of context. Dannatt said IF Starmer didn't increase funding, he'd be in the dustbin of history. The Mail conveniently forgets 2010 to 2024.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

The Tories are desperate to shift their Thatcher mugs. Lucius has had 2 emails just today urging him to buy one. If they knew he was a cat who doesn't have opposable thumbs, they might take him off the email list.

Why don’t we build more detached homes like this? Modular units built from spruce in a factory and constructed on site in one single day. This is a small home, 55m2, but could be extended to 89m2 By Prause Holzbauplanung and Gelzhauser Forst in Germany

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Being reminded of the way Thatcher treated miners in 1984, it's a wonder how some are surprised at how fragile democratic gains are and how the political and media elite can enforce authoritarianism if it protects certain interests

They’re not ‘personality tests’, they’re conformity tests, and adding Data Fairy magic doesn’t make them any more legit or efficacious. They’re also a clear indication of toxic workplace or clueless management (possibly both) www.bigissue.com/news/employm...

Astonished to read in the newspaper that the number of people claiming the higher rate of health benefits has increased over the past five years. I can't think of anything over the past five years that might have caused this - people must just be getting lazier.

I mean I’d love to say with full confidence that the US President isn’t actually going to try to invade Canada, take ownership of Gaza or default on government debts, but I simply don’t think this is a 0% risk any more. Old assumptions are feeling pretty rickety right now.
