I thought the federal government eliminated work from home.

It is hard. I want to stay as long as possible to help rebuild when that time comes. The problem is will I have a position still when that time comes.

This line is well done: " Like his supporters, he’s stopped pretending he’s anything other than his worst self."

Five of my colleagues gone. No warning. Papers unfinished, research interrupted, those of use still in the lab are trying to figure out next steps. This brain drain will take decades to fix, if it can be fixed.

Excising the Cancer in Our Institutions We need to start thinking about how we are going to separate the sheep from the wolves in sheep's clothing.

Some thoughts on what de-magafication of our institutions might look like when this nightmare is over (free post) open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Can you please explain how government agencies are formed? Do they have to be controlled by the executive? Can an agency be formed that is controlled by the legislative branch? #SistersSidebar #SistersInLaw

This is absolutely no surprise at all. State run social media working as intended.

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life.

But 5 minutes later….

A question that I keep asking and have not seen asked/addressed is why in such crowded quarters did one open fire with the chance of hitting one of their own? Is their training so lacking and judgement that poor? More rhetorical than anything else.

I am sure others have caught it as well, but there may be another video taken by someone closer and on the sidewalk. I hope they can get their video out as well and also be safe.

Most definitely. If it happened one way against him, then it could have been done against Harris.

As I read this, I can only imagine that this type of issue will continue across the state and country as more and more people cannot afford to live where they work.

Wait a minute! I thought it was a DOJ arrest mission.

JFC! Has she not learned anything?

Why have I not seen anyone compare the orange menace to Dune’s Baron Vladimir Harkonnen?

Please explain to me what you have been doing for the past 12 months if that wasn’t you governing.

So we are just going to start the year in April?

I remember reading this when the article came out. I work in a national lab and can attest to the damage that has been done.

It is always projection with them, isn’t it.

Barb, find yourself an independent pharmacist. We found one when we moved to a new city and will never look back. They know us by name and our pets since they do their prescriptions as well. They work with the doctors and insurance companies to make it painless for us.

If only there was an option “other” with a text box for explanation.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

A garbage can designed to look like R2D2, filled with trash. The bin is located outdoors near a patch of grass and a wooden fence.

Gambling debts, two divorces, and a cocaine habit had left R2-D2 nearly broke. One night, drunk on White Claws, he drives his Porsche through the front window of a Santa Monica Walgreens, losing both his legs. Finding himself on the street, he now takes odd jobs just to survive.

As a recent transplant from that state, the last decade has been like driving on the Million Dollar Highway at 80mph with two wheel drive and bald tires for the MAGA party.

We have been watching “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and to longer I watch it the more I think our current administration is using the show as a blueprint.

Offit told me that Kennedy is a "liar" and a "terrible human being." I asked him to explain. "It doesn't matter what I say," Offit said. "He thinks the medical journals are in the pocket of the industry, he thinks that the government is in the pocket of the industry, he thinks I'm in the pocket of industry, and he's wrong." Offit continued: "If he has data showing he's right, then fucking publish it. He can't, because he doesn't have those data." I asked Offit if he saw a way to reverse the public's rising distrust in science. "I don't think there is any way to regain that trust other than have the viruses do the education, and the bacteria do the education, and then people will realize they paid way too high a cost," he said.

Okay, there needs to be a Grammy category for this. And this needs to be the winner.

To many of us, it is mom and/or dad.

You beat me to it.
