The beeping sound you hear when a truck is backing up doesn’t mean the truck is asking for consent, but that’s essentially what tech bros imagine is happening when their surveillance device shines a light or plays a chime before recording. The beep says get out of the way or get run over.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

And that's why LLMs often present "NATO expansion" as a reasonable, even leading explanation of the Russo-Ukrainian war. Not because it's right or consistent with the facts, but because a ton of accounts are parroting Mearsheimer's contrarian/light-on-facts take and Ru propaganda.

CRONINESS: noun. The quality of being a co-conspiratorial buddy to a corrupt tyrant. Used in a sentence: “Overlooking obvious signs of untreated alcoholism and other troubling behaviors, Hegseth’s did not meet any of the qualifications for the job of secretary of defense, other than croniness.”

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

There are are no "exceptions" to the requirements for the FAA Airline Transport Pilot certificate; there are multiple ways to qualify. The ATP with restricted privileges, commonly called the “R-ATP”, is not a lesser pilot certificate. It is an ATP certificate with restrictions on privileges.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.”
• The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives.
• The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000.

Each point represents a federal agency:
• Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs.
• Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs.

Key Observations:
• Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates.
• Notable targeted agencies include:
• HHS (Health & Human Services)
• EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
• NIH (National Institutes of Health)
• CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau)
• Dept. of Education
• USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development)
• The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies.
• A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size.

Takeaway:

The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

A foreign-born private citizen with unfathomable wealth & deep financial ties to our nation’s adversaries has seized control of our government and is currently canceling congressionally apportioned spending without a shred of authority. And no one seems to be able to stop him. So this is fine.

Quakers in the U.S. have a long history of providing sanctuary to the unfairly persecuted, from people fleeing slavery in the South to people fleeing war in Central America. The tradition of religious sanctuary dates back centuries in Europe.

Badger cub. She is on her back being supported by a human's hands, he little front paws are raised jazz hand style either side of her sweet stripey face, her back paws and tail are curled over her wrinkled belly. Her nose is like a big shiny button.
