I regularly have to reassure my team at work that they do not suck. (They’re great, they’re overachievers who’ve been mismanaged in the past.) So new rule: we’re gonna have a “and how many fighter jets did we yeet today?” metric going forward.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

NYT headline: “Kennedy Advises New Parents to ‘Do Your Own Research’ on Vaccines” 
Subheader:
“In an interview with Dr. Phil, the health secretary offered false information about vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals.”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

Not sure we interact a ton, but I’ve been a follower of yours since Ye Olde Bad Place. Just wanted to say I see you and validate these feelings and I’m sorry and you’re not alone. 🩵 The light is coming. The dark can’t last.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

from the r/fednews subreddit, reactions to how they should reply to phony stark’s email to federal workers telling them to detail what they did last week 

If you end up replying don't give them an opportunity to evaluate your performance based on the reply:
This week I accomplished:
• 100% of the tasks and duties required of me by my position description
• 100% of the work product that my manager and I have agreed to
• 100% of the duties and performance elements that are used to evaluate my performance
• 100% of the deliverables requested of me by my direct supervisor.
• I exceeded expectations in the delivery of the above
Details available upon a formal request from my direct supervisor.

this is good enough to confuse the Al they're going to use to analyze 2.4 million emails. A human might understand it's a troll, a computer will just say this person did well.

yes. love it. do this.

From a national security perspective, this is asinine. Every security training I’ve ever been through is like “don’t send Bob Customer 03’s address via email! That’s sensitive info!!!” But cool, let’s give our enemies advance notice we’re gonna email OUR ENTIRE GOVT’s OPERATIONS for last week. 🤌🏽

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny
