“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

My FIL started giving the phone number of the woman running their HOA to spam porn bots and telling them to ask for "Robert" who is her husband and I think I have a lot to learn from this man

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Dolphins.

MUST WATCH: Rich McCormick (R) got embarrassed at his own town hall because he wouldn’t admit the obvious—Trump is headed straight for dictatorship. He dodged the questions and got BOOED to hell. Things are heating up!

Brave individuals can get attention & make a difference. Someone should tell the Democrats.

woah, the simpsons predicted it 😳

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

come on, people, it's doing something!

"I just want to be clear about what's going on here." - @warren.senate.gov www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIHN...

We’re just innocent men.

Well, food is about to get a lot more expensive, and I manage stress by info-dumping, so I'm gonna share some of the survival strategies I learned spending my first 30 years food-insecure: First: Cooking in large quantities and freezing some for later is more cost-effective than cooking every day

our nation has a Kennedy missing his brain and now a white man from Dallas is about to help LBJ win. welcome back, 1963

I would like to report a murder (this is deadmau5 calling out DJ 3lau for playing Trump's inauguration)

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

The most insufferable people at the moment are the ones who react to literally every piece of news with "Well I asked chatgpt about this..." Like, congratulations. You've given up on critical thinking so completely that you burned down a tree so that a chatbot can write fanfiction about reality

The parade of useless tech-in-search-of-a-problem and rampant VC yes-man-ing has basically driven the Western tech industry into the ground. It's so embarrassing. I can't allow myself to think about where that funding could have gone or else I'd lose my mind

Remember the map that came with A Link to the Past? I could never find a really good version online so I bought a better copy to clean & @lost-and-not-found.bsky.social then did an INCREDIBLE job restoring both sides of the full poster itself. No small feat. Full res: archive.org/details/zeld...

BREAKING: Bears announce that the new offensive coordinator will be a literal bear. "He growls at us when we ask what the play is" said QB Caleb Williams. "It feels like Shane Waldron is still here. It's been a seamless transition"

I don't even want to pretend to tolerate dumb people who think they're smart anymore. Ain't got the time or patience for it.

Man: Doctor, I'm depressed. Doctor: Go see Aaron Rodgers, Jets QB. Watching him limp and fumble on the field is tragic, yet hilarious. He knows he’s past his prime, and the struggle’s almost poetic. Man: But doctor— Doctor: I know who you are.

Lawyer: Mr Grinch, I just heard the entire song, and I think this is an open and shut defamation case, just be prepared as I can't promise we get an injunction to remove it from the airwaves

Knocked unconscious by a can of green beans that fell off the top shelf while I was stocking the bottom shelfin a grocery store

Now this will be a winter of discontent

I'm never going to have a better use for this meme.

Sulzberger can go fuck himself, solidarity with @nytguildtech.bsky.social

when the harris campaign expects to get results a virginia call before 8pm or so is an early bellwether that harris is on track to win

Fuck cancer.
