US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staffβs home, according to a watchdog report
I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

This is so so upsetting. So Grammerly is violating the memory of bell hooks AND making AI versions of the rest of us before we're even dead. Someone tell me who to sue, not even joking.

One reviewer used AI to review our manuscript.
How do we know?
Suggested papers to cite that do not exist. Some titles correct, but everything else is wrong or just fabricated out of whole cloth.
Requested citations for things Iβve said in review papers that were citing other papers.

And to them I say this: We're smarter than you. We're better human beings than you. We know what it means to serve. And we serve the people of this country -- not your criminal regime. We uphold an oath to the Constitution, not an amoral, fascist traitor.
Your days are numbered. We can wait.

Why Tesla "Robotaxis" Won't Be Driverless For Another 3 Years
Deep dive into FSD crash data shows incidents becoming more dangerous for Tesla owners, while Tesla's Austin robotaxis already crash 4x more frequently than human drivers.
Why Tesla robotaxis can't go driverless:
-4x more likely to crash vs humans
-3x more likely to cause an injury crash vs humans
-FSD knowingly runs red lights/drives the wrong way
-Tesla can't explain why
-Regulatory strangle: 1000s of new FSD crashes found

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

βSatellite observations of this distinctive fingerprint are in accord with current state-of-the-art climate model estimates of human-caused temperature changes. The claim to the contrary made in the recent US Department of Energy review of climate science is factually incorrect.β

That is the amount of federal funding that was already funded and withdrawn, plus the funds recommended by peer review and would have been awarded to my research group if the status quo were in place at NSF, NOAA, DOE.

To Kristi Noem,
I am an anti-ICE account. I use freedom of speech and freedom of religion to advocate for morality, which is something you and the entire Trump administration will never have. Kill me, imprison me, I donβt care. I will die a happy death. You will live a miserable life.

βThis action is unlawful, ignores basic science, and denies reality. We will not stop fighting to protect the American people from pollution.β
We know greenhouse gases cause climate change and endanger our communities and our health, and President Trump's repeal of EPA rules and climate denial doesn't change that proven fact.
As co-chair of the @usclimate.bsky.social, I promise we will fight this.

Universities buying into this shit under the guise of "equity" makes me SO angry
Equity for my students would be access to the databases and journals we've dropped subscriptions for. It'd be having a paid human to caption videos and make PDFs screen-reader compatible. Not this shit.

I was based a Bragg for awhile, if the Commander-in-Chief showed up and gave a political speech, as an officer I would been extremely concerned about it. A military facility is not the place for political speeches. If he told me who I had to vote for, I would have been pissed.
