The thing about Elon Musk's Mars aspirations is that he's never even landed anything on Mars. Musk claims that SpaceX's Mars missions will start in two years. Does Musk look like someone focused on getting to Mars? The dude is a huckster.

saying it again: if there are "conditions" on aid to california, no democrat should vote for any disaster aid of any kind to any state. all states get aid or no states get aid. that's it

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

"The 3,000 agents Turner fired, each and every one of them first or second generation Americans. Is that because they lacked diplomatic skills, or did Turner not think it was a good idea to have spies who could speak the same language as the people they're fuckin' spying on?"

The American right was always at real risk of turning into a personality cult, but you'd think they could've mustered the pride and self-respect to pick a less stupid personality.

Is bluesky more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult or is ejecting an acquaintance from your chateau in rural France for the sin of disrespecting Bari Weiss more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult?

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

I think there’s this tendency to assume Musk enters each agency with some kind of plan. But his office is 30 people, largely children, and the federal government employs millions. He spends half his time on drugs, tweeting, doing interviews. It’s all random noise www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Deciding to build more housing during a housing crisis or waste a bunch of money tying that housing up in courts isn't a “Sophie’s choice”. Comparing your fears about a potential increase in traffic in your California beach town to the Holocaust is extremely offensive.

NEW: The Energy Department tried to spin its DOGE-directed firing of nuclear-safety officials as affecting just non-critical staff. But this wasn’t close to true. In fact, one of the officials locked out of his work accounts was the top authority for all nuclear-safety matters in the agency.

It was honestly a lot healthier when you had Arnold running around in the big action movies because there was no realistic expectation that Arnold would become what normal people should look like. But you get Chris Pratt down to 6% bf for a shirtless scene and people get the wrong idea

I say this as someone who hung around long past the point it was excusable to do so, but we're well past the point that you should be using Twitter if you aren't in line with what the owner represents. "But my group chats! My followers!" Time to fuckin' grow up.

USAID’s waiver for 'life-saving' aid got headlines. But funds still aren’t reaching the people who need them. "Even programs with waivers are still frozen, according to people in more than 40 USAID-funded groups, bc the payments system used to disburse funds to orgs has not operated for weeks." 1/2
