“By firing us, you’re going to cut down on how much revenue the country brings in,” said an axed IRS specialist who’d been brought in to audit complex tax returns filed by large corporations and wealthy individuals. “This was not about saving money.” By @andykroll.bsky.social

When I was a kid I learned my dad had dropped out of college and asked him what his major was and ... he couldn't remember. All he remembered was he had a programming class where he learned FORTRAN. He guessed it was chemistry because his dad was a chemist.

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster. Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture. S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Some people can't help but periodically reignite the discourse about whether someone's behavior or character makes it okay to make fun of their appearance. J. D. Vance proves that there is an acceptable way to do it, so if you're still clinging fat jokes, maybe just try harder.

ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban. It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture. Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes. CALL YOUR DEMS! (info in next post)

can we just acknowledge that Trump never wanted to be president? he ran for immunity, and now he's preparing to pass on his throne to Musk. his beef with every billionaire in the country was always about testing them to find out which one would bend the knee.

I first played Halo when my brother pirated it on his clapped-out old i486 with no hardware acceleration. I don't think it met the minimum requirements, and he had to find a crack to make it run. It was the jankiest game I've ever played, and I don't know how much was the games fault.

Before I settled on the name Rose, I had some close calls with names I only avoided because of other people who had those names. Jen (an annoying coworker) Joyce (my ex's mom) Jo (Rolling) I wanted a J name, but it didn't work out that way. I'm glad now I didn't jump on any of those.

Trump and his goons conveniently find fraud wherever they imagine to look for it, so I think we can predict with confidence that they'll also find that there's gold missing from Fort Knox.

I still genuinely believe that Meta never gave a shit about the quality of their metaverse. they inflated the number of users and hired creators to make it appear active so they could pitch it to investors and sell hardware to businesses since consumers weren't buying enough.
