@mcuban.bsky.social another video game play? Can’t hurt to point it out I guess.

YouTube video by MrMattyPlays Bethesda's Canceled Game LEAKED - It's Worse Than We Thought...

I really hope maybe someone can swoop in and save this team. They did not deserve this, so much talent. So much worth.

This video really lays out how big of a mistake this was for Microsoft to ax them.

It’s actually 30%, and around 6,000 have already been fired. Per OPM workforce figures re 30%, per news reports on the 6k

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” John Adams

Ah I didn’t see this one on the chart my bad

With that kind of enthusiasm we are going to need a strong 3rd party to show the F up. Grass roots folks, time to start moving - the low-mid class party. Only policies that help mid and low income people. No outlawing anyone’s existence. Pro science, education, health. The end.

Per the chart that one is from 2017. It’s done at 100 days.

That’s from his first term lol.

This timeline sucks.

Federal workers are prohibited by law from striking. It is considered a crime.

The connection between the repeal of DEI and the repeal of AI accountability and the involvement of all the tech billionaires. Think about it.

Hey @intuit-turbotax.bsky.social your push alert on Apple appears to be miscoded.

PS can I get this amount for notifying you of this coding issue :)

Lunch thoughts: Word of the day for antique/ vintage glass lovers is Epergne - an ornamental centerpiece. Check out these wild examples I spotted in estate auctions this week. These would typically be displayed with small floral bouquets in each flute.

“have seemed” haha. He “have seemed” to forgotten women don’t care what mediocre men think. He also forgot how to construct a coherent sentence which conveys his ability to use words above an eighth grade level.

To be fair Facebook never truly moderated. I’ve reported so many racial slurs, repugnant comments, and outright scams but they never remove them, they never remove the bot accounts, and they never give hacked groups back to their owners. It’s wild.

Currently the Medicare portion for an employee is 1.45% to cover the highest, most expensive risks in the insurance pool. If only the US could cover everyone universally with a slightly higher portion - much less than the amounts paid for premiums.

A black and white cat being held like a baby, and enjoying it.

Sitter. The world’s most docile cat, who throughly enjoys being held like a baby.

The Department of Education, along with administering the massive student loan portfolio, also spent $15.43 B on special education grants to schools for disabled youth in America in 2024. This is not the only program for the most vulnerable students.

We need Dept of Ed. Full report second post.

For Sen best options Sen Murkowski, Sen Collins (huge maybe on backbone), new Sen Curtis.
Huge maybe on Sen McConnell - I know it’s wild to say, he is retiring after his term - long time legislator - albeit not one many like, but he has tipped cards a little that he won’t allow it to be burnt down.

Really wish someone other than the book of faces would come up with a good Groups feature to help nonprofits and community orgs organize on a platform that doesn’t suppress most of your posts to your own followers. Ahem… @bsky.app pleaseeeee

DO NOT give your money to Jeff Bezos. He has plenty. Make a list of the books you want to buy as gifts and buy or order from a local bookstore...if you want those stores to continue to exist.

Even in Maryland, the renewals have gone up exponentially. For a house insured at $2500 4 years ago with no claims impacting renewal quotes, my renewal quotes were $5k-$12k.

You should research how many times the Red Line in Baltimore city has been killed and revived. Spoilers, it’s been decades of the same nonsense. The effort to expand public transit is noble. I wish we had systems like European countries.

Anyone else here for cute animal pics? #dogs

I always did like looking up at the sky.
