I suspect the federal government is going to owe a lot of back pay and damages. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

Once I got the DIRTIEST look during a conference panel when a facilities manager asked me if technology gave me hope for the future. I said ramps are older than old and we still can’t get those put in, so no, it doesn’t. Tech is only as good as the people doling it out.

Musk getting decimated on his own app.

Dear Elon Musk, protesting is not a crime. Organizing online to protest isn't a crime either, even if you don't like the protesters' goals. We oppose any efforts to mislabel peaceful protesting as illegal—protests are foundational to our democracy.

Please read and share. Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

Not sure why people would think the Felon in chief would actually give a shit about Christians. www.christianitytoday.com/2025/02/doge...

The act was originally meant to address revenge porn. Not for whatever Pres Orange is trying to do.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

🤔

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

Today I Learned: The composer for the music to the movie, Silent Running, is Peter Schickele, aka PDQ Bach! Mind. Blown.

Wow! techstartups.com/2025/01/31/d...

When asked how he can blame diversity for the plane crash with zero evidence, Trump says it's because he has "common sense." It’s apparently so obvious in his mind that a white person couldn’t have been responsible that even with no proof whatsoever, it’s "common sense" that a minority is to blame.

It's really cool, but is it really quarter of a million cool? kindredmotorworks.com/models/kindr...
