This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

A screenshot from the Strava app, suggesting a local bike ride that I might want to consider taking over the coming weekend. The photograph illustrating the route is of a dilapidated brick wall with various bits of dead vegetation attached to it. It doesn’t look at all appealing.

Ooh, that looks nice, definitely one for the weekend. Thanks for the suggestion Strava!

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

They would probably benefit from farage sending in his DOGE crew to sort them out.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

… lack of eyebrows and eyelashes. Lack of nose hair is a pain, as snot just tends to drip out unannounced. If you can embrace it, enjoy saving time and cash on shampoo, shaving and barbers (though I do miss the social aspect of haircuts a bit). You can do this!

It got me about 18 years ago, alopecia universalis, so completely hairless. I was upset initially (it happened fairly swiftly), but tbh soon got used to it, despite having been pretty chimp-like before. A supply of hats for different weathers is all you need, and if you wear them glasses hide the…
