From our upcoming product safety cautionary tale novella 'The Day They Gave the Dinosaurs Jet Packs'*

This, from one of America’s greatest artists…💙

The family values party.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Look at these Jibronis.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

Roger Parloff explains the legally contradictory positions taken by DOGE and how the apparent DOGE victory in the DOL/CFPB/HHS case means they will lose other cases if the judges reasoning is followed elsewhere. Brilliant Analysis.

Judge Advocates General. He’s fired the top military lawyers in each service.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Return To Office…smh

Still tons of journalists posting on Twitter and I understand why to an extent, but all the same, arbitrary suppression of work on that platform really argues for moving on.

There’s been so much interest in from US 🇺🇸health workers and jobs in Canada that I’m posting recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories: 🧵 #healthcarejobs🇨🇦

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

When did firing civil service employees become a better idea to balance our national debt, than taxing the rich?
