Hey did you know you made The Week (a magazine featuring “the best of US and international media”)? Quoted alongside Teddy Roosevelt, James Joyce, Victor Frankl, Eisenhower and Plutarch!

It’s just insane we are reorganizing our entire society to serve the interests of AI, especially when that AI is useless

Google search for “puerto rico rosalia tickets” returns a Live Nation ad for tix for Sept 3 in San Juan and an “AI overview” saying there are no scheduled tour dates in Puerto Rico.

Really curious what the rest of that affidavit says because here is what the NPS website says about filming at the Lincoln Memorial (tl:dr —- any filming that is not “general visitor use” requires a permit)

Simultaneously makes me want to spontaneously combust in frustration and gives me a sliver of hope

JFC— in any sane world, or even just any administration before this one— everyone involved in this would be fired & the agency find a way to better support front line staff. I mean they destroyed ACORN for giving tax advice to a pretend sex worker but the advice wasn’t “consider killing yourself”

Excerpt from GovExec article reporting that SSA front line employees are being trained to tell Americans who call them in distress that suicide is only one option.

Was reading the DC Bar report on the Jeff Clark disbarment (s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...) and it has one of the more detailed descriptions of what was happening pre-Jan 6th that I’ve seen. This statement for example jumped out at me given what Gabbard has said lately—

Jeff Clark received a classified briefing in Jan 2020 from ODNI that Russia had attempted to influence the election but not to tamper with ballots.

Well it is packaged with a full repeal of vehicle GHG standards and they did do a benefit-cost analysis for that. Of course it showed net costs of $30 to $350 billion (depending on assumptions/discount rates) so they came up with some new assumptions/analyses to make the numbers look better.

This is just an absolute disgrace of access journalism. You don’t provide anonymity to the WH to make ridiculous claims about how great they are. If someone wants this in the story they can put their name on this BS. It’s not even coherent to call it “internal deliberations” for goodness sake!

Excerpt from WaPo article —
“No one can say DOGE has not achieved a historic amount of success. The results speak for themselves," said a senior White House official, speaking anonymously to discuss internal deliberations.

This is so predictable and yet depressing. GAO issues a report indicating EPA needs more staff to prevent waste fraud and abuse and James Comer cites it as a basis for DOGE to use in cutting feds Cc @raskin.house.gov @aoc.bsky.social

I like the Celts giving the finger to Trump on this one

Craig, an 8-year WNBA veteran, was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 2017 and has enjoyed stints with the Bucks, Suns, Pacers, and, most recently, the Bulls. For his career, he's averaged 6 points per game on 45.4% FG, and shot 35.5% from three.

In case you were wondering whether WaPo is doing chickenshit access journalism, here they are giving Trump officials anonymity to slander people and the justification is that those were the ground rules set by the Administration. JFC Do better WaPo.

I understand that I might not agree with every elected Dem but a) some issues you shouldn’t agree to the R framing; and b) I’m not going to fund you after you spit on me. Also it would be nice if she was willing to defend her position but I get it’s just some crappy consultant texting me for cash

I need @aclu.bsky.social on this— I don’t see how wearing a t-shirt is “demonstrating”. Even if it’s not against the First Amendment to criminalize t-shirts (and it should be), surely the statute should be void for vagueness, or the rule of lenity should kick in?
