I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
The FAA Administrator made a point of being in flight at midnight of December 31, 1999 / January 1, 2000, to project confidence that the agency had adequately dealt with Y2K problems.
This feels like the least the current cabinet could do ...
The whole point of NASA, why it was created as its own agency, is that it's about the peaceful civilian space program as something separate and distinct from the military and weaponization.
GDC's 2026 IGF winner calls out U.S. cruelty at home and abroad
Can this be a solution?

NEW: A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill requiring warrants for FBI searches of Americans' communications under FISA, aligning federal law w/ a 2025 ruling that found the practice unconstitutional.
It would also ban the government from buying Americans' private data from data brokers.
Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.
Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?
Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.
Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.
I’m sorry, the suffering is infinite and things are genuinely fucking dire, but it is truly hilarious that the nazis ran into the middle east while screaming “logistics and diplomacy are fake and gay” and now they’re trying to ask everyone else to fix the strait of hormuz because tfw no more THAADs
Did DOGE pay this kid a salary or an allowance?
every “serious analyst” needs to get it through their heads that there is no plan and anything that passes for one can be tossed out at the mad king’s whim
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
Pretty obviously, this is not how public budgets work, and the Trump administration is also cutting food stamps and Medicaid. But it is fascinating that employees of a DOGE effort that will kill millions told themselves they were ensuring "Medicaid for Grandma."
I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...
“California’s first ten Prop. 1 mental health projects delayed, cancelled -
None of the projects expected in 2025 under Gov. Newsom’s mental health ballot measure have opened, CalMatters has found, even though the governor says the bond is exceeding its goals.“
a while back a guy I knew was trying to justify having gone to Curtis Yarvin's wedding, and his girlfriend said "Don't you find him thrillingly contrarian' and I said 'That's how boring people excuse being racist'
Telling the world you ran out of bombs after sucker-punching world superpowers <checks notes> Venezuela and Iran is not a flex. In fact, it makes us look like the blowhard paper tiger we are. You killed public education to fund the military for decades and ran out of bombs in two weeks
Let me put it this way, I would have no problem to seeing the lives of these arrogant little pricks ruined forever.
Supply chain logistical wizard that he is, @rockergaming.bsky.social was able to get our Nin10-Drawer costs back down to near pre-tariff levels. While I said we should just pocket that money, he insisted we lower our prices to $50 for the classic black. 😩
Cost-wise it's like losing an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer. But strategically it's worse. The US has 70-odd of those destroyers.
There are five operational FPS-132 systems in the world. They're part of the global backbone of US and NATO ballistic missile defense.
The radar installation in Qatar that was destroyed by Iran was a strategic level asset.
You're probably picturing a big radar dish. The AN/FPS-132 is more of a massive, multistory concrete building that looks like a cut pyramid. A major civil engineering project. There was ONE in the Middle East.
Always Sunny Mac fireball when they're selling roadside gas
These guys had a more coherent plan for managing the gas crisis than the current administration
No to another Paramount job. Am I going to be the only writer out on the dance floor here or does anyone else want to join me?
What's the Temu Streisand Effect?
'“ICE agents must have a judicial warrant or subpoena to access non-public areas,” said the... email...from Olinto, the provost.
'Just two days after the email was sent, on March 7, building door staff at a Columbia building allowed federal agents without a warrant to enter a university property.'
A reminder that when Ogles was a student at Middle Tennessee State University there were semesters where he flunked every class, including "US Presidency," "Political Theory" "Problems in Gov't" "American Foreign Policy" "Us Nat'l Sec Policy"

Photo credit: Gough Lui. An extreme close-up on a much longer string of initials from the Microsoft Windows XP disc, made using "edge-to-edge" holographic label technology. Photo description from Gough Lui's blog: "It appears to be the initials of those who have worked on the project. It reads MH, NH, SSJ, NA, PHL, KM, TC, MB, MH, LF, BM, GC, HL, JB, LJ, KH, JPD, SF, KVA, BI, PC, DM, PB, JT, FA, MR, TL. Unfortunately due to the way the microprint printing was aligned, some of the I’s and T’s may have been exchanged."
Photo credit: Gough Lui One more string of initials, this one from a Microsoft Office Professional 2003 CD label. Photo description from Gough Lui's blog: "Another has the initials KH, CS, MB, EH, JB, KM, HF, TR, KB, PM, RV, CL, JB, SSJ, MH, NA, JT, FA, LP, TM, NH, T, PH."
Photo credit: Gough Lui Another hidden message from the Office 2003 disc. This one reads as: "DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE WHO WORKED AT TECHNICOLOR VIRGINIA". It is currently not confirmed if the initials on previous images are of Technicolor workers, 3DCD as a whole ("a joint venture between Technicolor and Applied Holographics Plc.") to whom "XBOX IMB" is attributed in another piece of microtext, or Microsoft employees.
Every single Xbox 360 disc has someone's initials etched into it on a microscopic level (and other Microsoft discs like some versions of Windows and Office too)
