"I can never be put on trial for being an appalling piece of human garbage because the entire country thinks I'm an appalling piece of human garbage"
Maybe reflect on your life choices, you appalling piece of human garbage.
In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.

For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is:
A former DOGE employee stole the Social Security numbers & personal info of over 500 MILLION Americans.
Musk, Trump, & their DOGE lackies must be made to answer for this, NOW.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called βNumidentβ and the βMaster Death File,β include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parentsβ names."
"The Social Security inspector generalβs office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familiar with the process."
Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
My photo shows a Roman floor mosaic depicting an octopus. The octopus is composed of small black tesserae (tiles) and has eight writhing arms with suckers and narrow curling tips. It is set against a white tesserae background. Octopus detail from a monochrome marine mosaic featuring Triton with a cherub and various sea creatures, including the octopus, dolphins and a cuttlefish, at the womenβs changing room at the Central Baths in Herculaneum.

The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded all JetBlue flights due to a request from the airline, the agency said in a notice on Tuesday. It was not clear why the airline requested the stop or how long it would last.
She's right.

US student loan debt was engineered specifically to prevent large numbers of not wealthy people from becoming college educated.
Another Reagan gift.
How much you wanna bet that they left out the melted butter, which is the whole point?!!!
$6.9 million of lobster tail in a month????? What would you even do with that much lobster
It's almost as hard as getting a kid into preschool in San Francisco.
Like I dunno but seems weird the FCC should get to decide for the whole planet if some dudes are putting sun mirrors in space.
There are a lot of scientific illustrators and graphic designers who are building their portfolios and will take on work for less than you might imagine. It's not out of reach.
Musk used to complain that reporting of airplane coordinates, which had been public data, was sharing his "assassination coordinates". He knows. And still won't "compromise" or pay his bills.
Capitalism has lost its fucking mind.

Our paper is out today in @cellcellpress.bsky.social!
We discovered that deltaviruses physically hide INSIDE helper viruses to sneak into new cells. And to prove it, we had to image them from every angle. π§΅π

There's a common misconception that zoonotic viruses require significant adaptation to jump from animals to cause human epidemics.
Not so π.
Further, we see clear signs of 1977 flu experiencing cell passage, prior to epidemic.
SARS-CoV-2? Business as usual.

I think he'd be a wonderful president, but I doubt he would enjoy it. And I doubt Evie would enjoy it either.
But if they think they would, I'm all for it!!
