1. Put my right foot in. 2. Took my right foot out. 3. Put my right food in again, shook it all about. 4. Did the hokey-pokey, turned myself around. 5. Remembered that none of what had been happening since Trump took office has anything to do with what the US is about. #emails2DOGE

What I’m being haunted by today: The only thing that can explain Shiri’s remains not coming home with her children is that they were not in her arms when they were killed. And the only thing that explains her children not being in her arms is that they were taken away from her.

🚨BREAKING: It has been confirmed murdered hostages Shiri Bibas, Kfir Bibas, Ariel Bibas, and Oded Lifshitz will be returned tomorrow to Israel for proper burial. May their memories forever be a blessing 🕯️.

No money was saved on any of these 4 contracts, because no money was ever paid for these 4 contracts, because no money was ever allocated to any of these contracts. Seriously. Look them up.

One thing that I think is missing in the discussions about the DOGE numbers is how absolutely insane their definition is of “savings.” Consider, if you will, a mortgage. Lots of homeowners have them.

The closer I look at the DOGE data, the angrier I get. Like, where is this savings number coming from?

Some thoughts, while I’m still drinking coffee, because I’m kind of a budget nerd. Savings are only savings if the thing you cancelled isn’t replaced by something else. If the subscriptions that were cancelled get replaced with other subscriptions, then you haven’t saved anything.

Data! Is it verifiable? Probably not, but I need more coffee before I go digging into it. Elon says it’s correct, so 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I wanted to try these 9” needles, so I started a swatch on magic loop until it was be enough to fit and, now that I’ve tried it, I don’t have to try it anymore. But seriously, knitters, how?? My fingers were so confused by all of it.

The people who freaked out about Obama wearing a tan suit during a presser are OK with Musk wearing a tee shirt (and an actual child) during a presser. Weird, huh?

I’m officially worried about the people who think up the #Connections puzzle. Has anyone checked on them?

After the 16yo provided me with a PhD-dissertation-level history of the beef and the diss tracks and I listened to the music, what stays with me is the jeans.

It is the position of the administration that a post saying “Free Palestine” or talking about diversity should ruin your life, but a post calling to hate people from India should not. That’s their moral sensibility. Nazi scum.

Expulsion and annexation of Gaza doesn’t make us safer, doesn’t make Israel safer, further entrenches the anti-Semitic trope of Jews controlling the world, and sends US military personnel into harm’s way so that some billionaires can build chalets on the Mediterranean. Thanks, uncommitted!

Every single day, it is somehow worse and more destructive and malevolent than even the previous day's destructive malevolence prepared me for. It's like an exponential growth curve for batshittery.

👋🏻👋🏻 This is your reminder that privatizing state-funded organizations always enriches the new owners of those organizations at the expense of the people who relied on those organizations.
