I really really really wanted the bonus LP from the international pressing of this cause it has Government Center and I’ve Got A Crush on the New Teller and the seller had in their description “2nd disc never played” (!?!). So glad to have given it a good home.

Periodic reminder that the bird flu, nuclear security, air traffic control technicians and the park rangers, public health, and others are all very important to making sure the country you’re in is safe

This is the government waste that we should be concerned about.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

Good morning

The nearest Culver’s is in Macedonia, OH in case you were wondering

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role
