I mean it was definitely humor as coping with a truly heinous bit of news but I had the thought upon reading the push notification that it’s a HR violation because Hegseth is just announcing how hard he’s going to be on the day.

This is just a relentlessly horrific story. It’s hard to adequately contextualize the moral desolation of this unfolding in the midst of a midterms against a ruling party helmed by inveterate rapists and rape apologists. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/congres...

we are going to have to find an alternative to meta products for local communities and advertising, right now, it’s almost impossible to do any kind of local business or art project without it, but both their rules and support are so arbitrary and capricious that you can’t rely on them

It’s been wild watching my conservative but still thoughtful evangelical alma mater go from Imago Dei and sub-creation-obsessed circa 2008 to AI booster these days. Seems to be a downstream effect of the institution’s hard right turn during the Obama years and subsequent choices

Morgoth being unable to Create is pretty fundamental, I think. What he did even with the dragons was corruption and, like, gene-splicing. I always assumed Glaurung & Ancalagon were embodied fire-Maia that, like Melian, had kids somehow. Orcs too: meddling at the DNA level for heritability.

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

For some of these majors, governments are a primary employer. So this rather self-defeatingly deters people from entering those fields, meaning 5 years down the line, oops, there’s a shortage of qualified teachers & social workers prepared to work for public-sector wages.

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse.
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.

Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers.
OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.
