WHO IS ATTACKING US? There should be a public effort to identify any Musk/DOGE staffers in OMB, Treasury & OPM.
Take their photos, badges & get identifying info.
This attack cannot be allowed to happen in secrecy.
It’s NOT a game.
We have a RIGHT to know who is in our computers & private files.

Hey, you too! I'd sort of given up on all things twittery, but this place seems a fair bit more sane so I'll give it a go :)

I for one am looking forward to both of the big Manchester football teams fighting it out with Wrexham in the championship division next season.

My wife just gave me a lip balm that I was certain was actually lipstick. She was adamant that it wasn't so I trusted her and put some on, and now I'm a very pretty girl.

I've had flu for a few days so I've been wrapping myself in a quilt and playing Rust. Does anyone else play?

The Nazis forced a Jewish woman to hand over a priceless painting. 85 years later, judges said her ... A US court said Spain could keep a priceless painting looted by the Nazis from its Jewish owner. A judge said it went against her "moral compass."

A thing that’s particularly absurd about “all Jews are rich” rhetoric is that the Nazis took A LOT of shit from Jews and left them with absolutely nothing and most people were never able to get any of it back.
