Gotham city concept art by Anton Furst for Tim Burton's Batman (1989).

Not content with trying to kill the moon mission, Elon Musk now wants to push the International Space Station out of the sky years early too. As people who understand space policy know, those changes would hinder, not help, his supposed goal of getting to Mars.

Trump Take Egg Trump Crash Plane Trump Lose Hockey

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Yeah I’m into AI: AI’m walking here

These brilliant tech folks are about to rediscover a thing that has been written about in countless design texts: air traffic control is a hard cognitive problem that cannot be solved by any 1 tool. Literally textbook-basic designing for complexity stuff. You cannot just change a couple screens.

BREAKING: Elon Musk is now trying to buy Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court majority. Election is on April 1—the first statewide election of the new Trump/Musk era. Musk wants to own state-level courts to thwart any possible check on their coup. Help us fight back. secure.actblue.com/donate/wisde...

Trump take egg

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

On Monday, USAID's IG warned that Trump's agency cuts have made it harder to root out fraud and abuse — and that nearly $500M in food was about to spoil due to Trump's foreign aid freeze. On Tuesday, Trump fired him. So much for transparency.

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

This also lets you comment, vigorously and at length, on the accuracy of, and motivations behind, Google's choices.

Looking like a dollar store Lewis Hamilton.

So let’s see: no Afghans who helped save American lives. Goodbye to the protected status of ppl here from Venezuela and Haiti…but post apartheid“white” South Africans are welcome? So weird. What is the pattern here? 🤔🧐

Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and President Trump at Mar-a-Lago last night.

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

That gonna make the Cheeto real mad.

For what it’s worth, Democrats did refuse consent on Vought. They tried to filibuster him, forced Republicans to jump through hoops and used up all 30 hours of allowed debate time, with an all-nighter on the Senate floor, and all 47 Dems voted NO each time. That’s about all they can do procedurally.

Every senator who voted for Vought should be asked why they're still showing up for work after voting away all of Congress's power to make laws and control spending.

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

I think this is my favourite report cover of all time. Any others?

can't believe builder guys literally knock on wood like all the time

I return to the great debate.— www.unpopularfront.news/p/lets-get-r...

I was a skeptic but I actually had a really good phone call with vlad the impaler and now believe him to be fit to serve in the cabinet ok it’s called bipartisanship

"Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) on Wednesday rolled out the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act, which would ban 'special' government employees like Musk from having federal contracts."

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Just take a stand on something, already! It's been a year of this dance. urbanmilwaukee.com/2025/01/30/f...

Tariff-inflated prices pass the pain along to consumers, many of whom voted for Trump. Good job, asshole.

I know an AI that could consistently and immediately reduce length of stay beyond administrators' wildest dreams!

We are definitely going to see some last minute switches as all the Canadians leave our teams

canada is going to recall all their hockey players in the u.s.

A Trumper who goes by Drizz is more effectively stopping Trumpism than the entire Democratic party

Is there a word for when a bunch of private citizens following orders from an unelected billionaire occupy government buildings and cut off communications

Hey literally any elected Democrat, grab a news crew and go bang on the door and demand to know what’s going on! People love that shit and this is fucking insane!
