I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Day of Rest     Blessed Sunday, day of rest,  a day on which to catch your breath  and put the busy world on pause,  while cracking on with all the chores.    The hoovering, the weekly shop.  The housework, laundry, washing up.  The futile war on disarray –  Sunday, such a restful day.    A chance to let yourself unwind, to spend some precious family time  when on your phones or arguing  about the state the bathroom’s in;   to shake off last night’s beer and wine  by being made to run the line  at your youngest’s football game,  while getting yelled at in the rain.    Long may the reign of peace prevail  so you can answer work emails  and start the coming week less stressed –  blessed Sunday, day of rest.  Brian Bilston

Here’s to another relaxing Sunday.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.

I like my version better.

🎼And I'm ashamed to be an American
Cuz the POTUS is a twat.
And I won't forget that asshole Musk
Who thinks we can be bought.

And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And tell them to fuck off
'Cause there ain't no doubt
They ate this land.
Pigs at the fucking trough!🎼

Fat Thursday - Wikipedia

For those not familiar with Polish traditions: the Thursday before Ash Wednesday (when the Lent starts) is "Fat Thursday", a day that Poles traditionally spend buying an unhealthy amount of donuts (spherical ones) and then trying to eat as much as we can 😃

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
