I’ve seen several stories like this. They didn’t limit “probation” period firings to new hires.

If you run a Water Company whose bills are already 50% higher than they need to be to run it, and not only are you not running it, you are building up massive debts as well. You don't need more money, you need a prison cell.

Trump is never joking.

BREAKING: The USDA, under DOGE orders, has accidentally fired staff working to combat bird flu. It’s now trying to rehire them. It follows the accidental firing of nuclear safety staff last Friday. And the accidental firing of FAA’s experienced aviation safety staff. Incompetence will be deadly.

This is the thing. No one is even acting like Trump is the president anymore, except for when he threatens Canada or invents new tariffs. Everyone knows Musk rules Washington right now and it happened incredibly fast

"women, disability, bias, status, trauma, Black, Hispanic communities, as well as socioeconomic, ethnicity and systemic" so you can't just do research at all. Bias, systemic and status are extremely common used words due to being literal research therms.

THIS.

Come on America! 💪

They aren't even hiding it anymore.

This is who these people are

After a long day’s work I have only just tuned in for today’s news. The very first thing I see is this. I am both shocked and aghast. What the hell are we living through!

You know what you saw. Don’t let the gaslighting in. Can’t believe the Telegraph has sunk that low so fast.

He accidentally did a Nazi salute... TWICE. While talking about the future of Western civilization. He is who we think he is.

"He's very rich, so he must be doing something right" is the wrong lens. "He's very rich, so he must be doing something unethical and exploitative with the money his parents and connections gave him" is a more accurate lens.

Ponder... consists of two 36-word lyric games/activity poems on life and matter. It's my attempt to connect science with my own game design and cultural critique. #36WordRPGJam aryl-ether.itch.io/ponder36

Things are going to get so much more hateful.

Talking about a treaty ally like a mob boss running a protection racket: "maybe things have to happen with respect to Denmark"

Forgive me but I still just cannot claim to understand the complaint these farmers have. “I have a huge amount of valuable land worth millions & one day my kids might have to pay tax on that” 😱😱 Yes. Like the bloody rest of us. (Or rather at half the rate of the rest of us but yknow) #r4today

The president-elect is attacking California's Democratic governor for fire hydrants running dry during the fires but the reason is that the water is being used. For all the fires www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“Let’s make more people homeless!” 😎 Great Reform policy from Lee Anderson. Just 100% on brand.

Submitted my entry for #36WordRPGJam! Cthulhu Sixes is a minimalist cosmic horror TTRPG with dice-stacking mechanics that fits on a bookmark! aryl-ether.itch.io/cthulhu-sixes

US tariffs on Denmark in pursuit of colonial conquest of Greenland will presumably lead to the EU imposing reciprocal tariffs on US exports to the EU www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I get that #Musk is increasingly controlling #Trump, but is it really necessary for memes and posts to portray Trump as Musk's "First Lady", or maid, or wife? Do we really want to reinforce the sexist cliché that female=subordinate? Trump is many things, but he absolutely isn't a woman.

Saying this to me is an immediate block k thx bye

If you are out of the loop on this topic, this is a decent succinct summary.

When you’ve been robbed, you don’t just shut the polite fuck up and move on.

Just made the grave error of looking through Elon Musk's feed. It's an absolute cesspit of misinformation, hatred, and amplifying far-right conspiracies. He is a complete megalomaniac, I can't think of anyone even remotely similar in history.

There are a lot of things that annoy me about that fascist idiot, but one of the little ones is that he keeps saying that “grok” comes from Hitchhiker’s Guide. It comes from Stranger in a Strange Land, and has nothing to do with AI. And the AI robots in Hitchhiker’s Guide? EVERYONE HATES THEM!
