It's Call the Midwife day. I'm just rooting for Joyce and hoping they don't screw up anything else major this season.

I have this melancholic looping instrumental theme stuck in my head and I have no idea where it's from, or if I just made it up. I am prepared to admit that this is a use case I would allow AI for, if AI could do such a thing.

With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

Why *do* I keep playing a game that takes at least half an hour to get to launch and crashes like a self-driving Tesla because I play it on a potato?

This would be a great opportunity for Switzerland or Japan or Taiwan or Australia to pour their entire government budget into higher education and hire every US academic and become the world leader in science and education overnight

Decided, on balance, not to terrify my (week 3) hieroglyphs students with "Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive" in Middle Egyptian.

I was wondering about this, because I'm pretty sure we have avian flu in Canada and the egg prices are mostly normal up here.

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.
