Instead of ending the constitution and murdering people, we could have high speed trains and universal health care.
No cheating, reskeet with the most recent photo of your pet.
Pretending to be credulous for a moment - why would the shutdown impact a (supposedly) private venture? Did someone get confused and furlough the supposed T Phone employees too? Do they have USPS folks doing this off the side of their desks?
Once more for the folks in the back: accessibility is a human right. Your web standards godfather shares thoughts on a small atrocity.
The devastation I feel about this attack on science in particular is hard to cope with. It’s like watching my dad die all over again. I would do anything to spare someone a death via pancreatic cancer.

Oh no, I have discovered that Slack has a character limit on who much you can write in a single message.

It has been wild to see what were always the two most paranoid pro-Second Amendment scenarios—the government snatching people away and sending occupying armies into communities—literally happen this year, to the delight of conservatives

www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/u... let’s pause to note that yesterday, as the administration slow-walks recovery from the Texas floods, they muster a small army to march through a park to scare LA. They succeeded only in clearing out kids at summer camp and a few people literally feeding the poor.
Today, *every* living prior leader of NASA's science directorate have released a joint letter condemning the proposed cuts to NASA science. These individuals every administration from Reagan to Biden, and all believe these cuts are insanely destructive: www.planetary.org/press-releas...
