Oh so he's not being charged with flag burning and won't be going away for a year? How embarrassing for Donald!
Reason 4857 why health care should never be for profit: AI DEATH PANELS. This is the same kind of program used to deny claims at United Health, and they want to use this for VA claims, too.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
NEW: Yesterday, I posted that I was unable to get the COVID vaccine at my VA clinic, and many of you assured me that the new one would be available soon and that I was overreacting. I was not overreacting. I am no longer eligible for the vaccine. apnews.com/article/vacc...
Does he not remember Trump went to court over the census and lost trying to add a citizenship question?

With Microsoft pushing for users to change to an OS only available to new-ish chipsets and software manufacturers changing to subscription models, and all of them bloated with adverts and AI crud, there has never been a better time to dump the lot of them and discover Linux.

This hearing over Pam Bondi's executive order to take over the MPD is NOT going well for the government. I'm listening in on the public line, but you can follow along with @annabower.bsky.social
I am congenitally resistant to conspiracy thinking, but this really does feel like a eugenic plot. There is some dark, pseudo-Darwinian thinking on the right that equates illness with moral unfitness, and prefers that the weak die, indeed demands that they be culled. Truly a death cult.
Oh, my.
Yesterday I discovered that ChatGPT's PhD-level expertise didn't extend to bird anatomy. This morning I thought, perhaps I was being too hard on the half-trillion-dollar company. Birds are a little weird, anatomically speaking. Let's try something more familiar. A mammal. Behold.

Wonder how Luigi is Doing.......
Yeah, "utterly unqualified" become the theme of the administration ever since an alcoholic that barely made field officer became SecDef and an entertainment industry CEO was made head of education. "I don't even know what Project 2025 is." -- remember that snippet from Lyin,' Rapin' Trump?
So Texas Republicans have now set up a TIP LINE to rat out the Texas Democrats So PLEASE, for the sake of the public, DO NOT FLOOD THIS NUMBER with tips on Bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings, or asking why Trump is on “the list” 1-866-786-5972 Thank you!

How Stanley Kubrick’s film “Dr. Strangelove” exposed dangers inherent in nuclear command-and-control systems.
80 years after the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the world has blundered into a new age of nuclear perils, Jason Farago writes. “To survive this second nuclear age we are going to need models from the first one: artists who faced up to what the bomb did, and what the bomb made of us.”
David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it
Revisions happen every month.
Bass: We just heard that the administration’s experiment failed. The raids that were happening in Los Angeles—the random pulling and snatching of people off the streets based on the language they spoke, their appearance, where they work—the court has said that can no longer happen.
