Since when does he care about frivolous things like "studies"? He's got a sense...all that matters since he is such a genius.

How sad. Loved him in so many things, especially Reservation Dogs.

Not "normal people", just "critics". I am so tired of this shit

Will any of these cowards ever take responsibility for their actions? Not a chance.

Same in our home, and that sentiment is completely on point. I'm very sorry for your loss.

We are visiting the area this week and were meeting friends for dinner when it hit. From clear skies to this in 10-15 minutes!
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
WTF? So disgusting
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
No kidding. I moved to the area in the mid 90s and worked in DC for 20 years. Walked all over freely, and continue to do whenever I come back. In contrast, just spent one night in downtown Salt Lake City and had our car broken into in the hotel-affiliated garage.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Same here. Ass
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Such heinous and disgusting abuses of power.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm with you
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Fantastic
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
The horror!
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Disgusting, yet not at all surprising.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Agree!
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
The hotel we stayed in Salt Lake City said to be sure we removed all valuables from our car in the parking garage as there have been a "ton" of thefts. Call in the National Guard!

I had the pleasure of going to a KC Honors rehearsal with a friend many years ago. It was the greatest.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social)
Saw some arches...and Balanced Rock. Our national parks are a treasure that should never be savaged for financial gain.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Very. I remember coming out of the Metro in DC after 9/11 with armed military all over the place. It was understandable then, at least, but still so unnerving.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Sad and pathetic.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
What??? How is that possible? Oh, that's right, DC is pretty damn safe.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Yummmm
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Sadly, those types within the agency are probably all in on this
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
I had such a long conversation before the November election about all this happening with one of my brothers and he "trusted the founding fathers' wisdom". Shockingly, I haven't heard a mea culpa from him about how quickly everyone folded, and he is apparently happy with all that has gone on. Ugh
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
No, a lot of us voted for humanity. Y'all are cretins.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Yet another "lazy fed"

Same, same, same. It is depressing and exhausting.

Whew, this makes me feel old. I saw him play at Summerfest that year.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Drove by the sign for the Brown vs Board historical marker yesterday on our road trip west and thought the same thing. I also wondered how long the sign will remain 😞
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
There are certainly no photos of these guys in the public realm that could have been used. Geez, I am more confident than ever I made the right decision to stop freelancing for a company trying to train for "PhD level" AI prompts after one task.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
It would be humorous if it wasn't so sad

The first time?!? Wow, my family had it nearly every Saturday night when I was growing up. Stove popped popcorn is the best.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
WTF, my GenX crowd??
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
We don't have one either. Maybe when our trusty toaster oven dies, but not sure too much is missing from my life.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. I breathed a sigh of relief this morning the stat agencies were remaining independent.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
And agencies had to be shuttered, foreign and domestic aid programs killed, thousands of federal employees fired to "cut costs". I am sure this is free, right? I am so sick of this timeline.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
42 for me, and I did not tour for a living!

Today was one of those days (before now, 😆)

I constantly feel sorry for any world leader sitting next to him. The look on their face is always the same ("why am I next to this idiot?")
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Nice, it was a 4 for me

It is so sad. Wish I didn't have to cancel my subscription in February after 25+ years, but I could not continue to support what they have done.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Gmafb! I am so tired of this "shock" reported by everyone who should know better.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
For what it's worth, the way Fed jobs are classified, most do not have a positive education requirement (even though it is often a factor in hiring). Only positions like physician and attorney, where you cannot do the job without the education, will show the degree requirement.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Holy fuck, as one quite familiar with Fed salaries, those are insanely high (particularly the camp mgrs).
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Ugh, no kidding.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
So sorry 😞

I met James Cameron in the visitor lobby at NASA one or two days after Avatar won the Golden Globe for Best Picture.

And will the press ever just stop serving as his stenographer??

Yeah, clearly it is unfathomable to "Kate" that anyone named Omar was born in the US. Gawd, how verything sucks.

Sadly, Virginia Foxx reps North Carolina
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Without a doubt
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, such a system that rewards the least qualified, as long as they are white dudes.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Uh, I f'ing hope so.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Me too!
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Sad, but true
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Nah, Trump is the most sophisticated economic genius in history. Nothing needs to be asked. 🤢
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow, most of this looks disgusting. As a non-native North Carolinian, i am not sure I've seen Sshrimp Bogrits on any menus. And, as a WI native - wild rice?? Seriously? Don't think I had any until I moved. Also, love the wild rice graphic is different for WI than it is in Nebraska.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
I was thinking the same thing earlier this morning when I saw the difference between yesterday's ADP and today's BLS. Having consulted with Fed statistical agencies for years, it cuts deep that I now question these numbers.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. Watching this, all I see is 'f you' to everyone else.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah, if only anyone in power gave a fuck what most of us want.

I'm not religious, but amen

There is something seriously wrong with him and anyone who would buy these
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, noooooo!
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Or the multitude of other examples across the Republican party? Of course not.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, hell no. I would have to relocate.

Amen.

I guess they have given up all pretense of objective analysis.

The absolute shittiest way to treat people.

Oh, how horrible it must be to feel unsafe. If only thousands of others could relate. Asshole

Pretty much - I had to scroll for quite a while to find a story on the Washington Post's site.
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, that was some horrible "marching".
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent
I thought the same 😆

I decided this afternoon to walk to the protest in Asheville. You are right, it felt great!
Jules (@jacc1330.bsky.social) reply parent

So many!

In 2016 and 2020 there were tons, a lot fewer in 2024. There used to be four or five I saw routinely, now just the two.
