State Dept. Plans $400 Million Purchase of Armored Tesla Cybertrucks The department plans to buy armored Tesla vehicles. Elon Musk, who is leading efforts to cut government spending, has won more than $13 billion in government contracts in the past five years.

This is so incredibly, goofily stupid—a slapstick level of dumbass, self-defeating, wasteful procurement even if it’s somehow not as corrupt as it looks—but I suspect absolutely no one is going to prevent it from happening. What an embarrassment. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

USAID Lifesaving Aid Remains Halted Despite Rubio’s Promise A new directive puts further exemptions on hold. Aid workers also say the U.S. government has made it impossible to pay partners around the world.

Even though Rubio promised life-saving aid wouldn't be interrupted, it has essentially been halted worldwide, interrupting HIV and TB treatment and threatening millions of lives. People are dying today because of these chaotic, inconsistent stop work orders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

I get healthcare from my union, but if I don't work enough union days (film industry) I lose it or have to pay out of pocket to keep it. Feels honestly the same as company healthcare.

flipper the little pup sits on a towel and looks at the camera. she’s so skinny her head is wider than her body. her front paws jut out at 90-degree angles from her legs, and her ears are angled forward and sitting almost on top of her head.

an x-ray of flipper’s front half. her arms are out to the sides in a wide W shape, and her paws stick out at odd angles.

flipper chills in the arms of a person wearing black scrubs and kneeling on the ground. the pup’s long, skinny neck is extended to its fullest length, giving her a little bit of a giraffe/E.T. vibe. the tip of her tongue is sticking out in a little bitty blep.

This is Flipper. She was found discarded on the side of the road inside a crate with severe breaks in her front legs. The injuries have healed at a 90-degree angle, leaving her in pain and struggling with mobility. You can donate to her surgery below ❤️‍🩹

Give up before you get too deep, I promise you won't regret it

My dad! He loves storytelling of all kinds. He and my mom fought over allowing us access to TV/movies (and tech in general) but they agreed on libraries and comic book shops. Well, mostly on the latter ;)
