Let me get this straight. So you have 2 outright anti-vaxxers. And 6 folks who tangentially worked with/in medicine but absolutely no background in immunology or vaccines. Tell me again about "following the science" when no one on the panel has studied the science? www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/h...

At least he didn't drop racial epithets... EDITED: Posted too soon. www.rawstory.com/trump-south-...

Who's willing to bet they're going to swap Garcia as part of this, only to then say - well we can't do anything now because he's in Venezuela... apnews.com/article/el-s...

You know when you're reading a great book or watching a movie, but then it starts to suck because you see the plot before it happens. Tarrifs and TikTok... www.unilad.com/news/us-news...

Leave the rancid butter on the counter for 12 years and still expect it to make cookies???

💰 Who wants to make a quick $20,000? 💰 BOUNTY UPDATE - Day 15 So, here we are, halfway through the first month of this bounty, and the stats below are absolutely abysmal. $20k to find me a job. Should be easy money right? www.linkedin.com/posts/ssalak...

While a shutdown is never good, a shutdown is stable, predictable, and known (meaning nothing is happening until it is over). In the current climate of on again off again government DOGE terminations, this might actually reduce some of the market volatility.

Is this thing on? Does anyone know someone hiring? As a casualty of this wonderful economy I'm on the market for a role as a Director/VP of Software Engineering. (Hopefully somewhere where my BlueSky posts won't get me fired, or worse...) www.linkedin.com/in/ssalaka/

I've got a new cover in the works. Something not so chaotic, from an up and coming artist..... Get the original version NOW before they are all sold out!

Reposted from @rd0dave on Threads. Seriously, government finances aren't like home finances. Running the government is not like running a business.

It's almost as if the 14th amendment never existed.... Loosing trust in treasury securities would tank the market and send us into a depression the likes of 1920's never could imagine. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

So apparently posting opinions here that folks don't like winds up with weird people knocking on your door and companies firing you. Sorry, but I've got to eat, so trimming down my posts to prevent this level of harrassment.

"The further a society drifts from truth, the more it hates those who speak it." Over the years I've amassed a ton of blocked folks on FB, but usually I would see one or two bots, and maybe a handful of -phobes posting on things. Now that the flood gates are opened, it's becoming worse than X...

500 followers! I never even broke 50 at the other place despite lurking for years! Let there be donuts!

Pro-tip DOGE is pronounced Dog E, like doggy, but E for electronic. Why do you think the icon is of a dog?

DOGE is doing such a great job so far! They've already elminated funding to the ACLU without even starting yet...
