Didn’t know this! I really liked Tar- it was like a less campy Whiplash. Love Big League Chew, of course! Best fake tobacco product. Better than candy cigarettes and shredded beef jerky in a chew can www.slashfilm.com/1039045/tar-...

It is 2029. Luka Doncic, 375 pounds now, is eating an open faced turkey sandwich during the first TV timeout of the 4th quarter of Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Experts wonder if he’s fat enough to win a 4th straight title. President Ocasio-Cortes has invaded El Salvador.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

Despite Kehoe’s order, the Missouri executive branch can consider race, gender, sex and sexual orientation in employment- so long as it is not the sole factor. E.g. SCOTUS explicitly confirmed that if an applicant can tie such an identity to overcoming a hardship, it can be considered.

“If the president was free to ignore Congress, there would be no point in having a Congress. There would be no reason for Hawley to have a job, yet he is cheerleading for his own impotence as he abandons Missourians.”

This lawsuit says they only evaluated the risk of NOT having DEI policies. The November market drop was from low revenue. There’s no reason to think it was from dropping DEI Such a weird, vague article with a misleading headline. Read this article for comparison: iclg.com/news/22247-t...

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

Missouri punches above its weight in having outstanding scholars researching and producing life saving cures. I encourage all in our federal delegation work to ensure Missouri orgs can keep employing those who do vital work to save lives in our country and around the world.

You’ve really gotta hand it to the the fascist/nihilist party’s voters for their consistent apathy- From Trump begging Putin to hack Hiliary’s computer, to Trump letting Musk steal everyone’s tax info. Just a big shrug and 70% of them getting tricked into being Election Deniers
