#Kegseth doesn’t even UNDERSTAND the troops.

What we should be doing is training them in quantum computing, so they can figure out a way to protect encryption schemes… from quantum computers.

Because that’s the only thing they should be doing.

Just a note that these are likely career civil servants, and their firing is illegal, but the Supreme Court has chosen not to stop the purge of government employees for partisan reasons.

Elon Musk’s Worst Nightmare About DOGE Is Starting to Come True Federal agencies are starting to admit that DOGE’s policies were trash.

The National Weather Service has received permission to hire hundreds back—including 126 “front-line mission critical” personnel whose need became especially apparent in the wake of Texas' floods. trib.al/SFuFL0a

It’s coming right back down in 2029. Bank on it. The proper place for that is a museum, where it can be placed in context. Not out in some square giving a finger to every descendent of a slave, or a descendent of a any American from the North who fought those treasonous pricks, for that matter.

Filipino egg rolls.

#LunchAgenda: One word – Lumpia

Because #Kegseth is a complete moron who’s destroying esprit de corps.

There’s no logic here.

I dig it.

Thing is, I want to stand up at an arcade cabinet, not use a controller from now. I want to use Before Times™ controllers like a regular joystick and firing button that I can hit violently. Go all the way old school. Like, they should have this in Dave & Busters or Buffalo Wild Wings.

Terminator 2D: No Fate (Oct. 31): Game Overview Trailer

This is truly the game I've been waiting for for 33 years, back when I used to play Contra III: The Alien Wars (aka Super Probotector: Alien Rebels).

#OTD 1944 – IBM dedicates the first program-controlled calculator, the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator

best known as the Harvard Mark I

if dune had been directed by a giallo auteur it would have been called “the poison bile of the newborn worm”.

"If the U.S. can't get its greenhouse emissions under control, they need to face real consequences" said the rest of the world.

Is he unaware that screens are a thing that exist?

maaaaaaan, the onion's still got it good

Here’s another WTF moment.

So he got HEALTHIER… at his own expense… and then wanted to also serve his country and you said no… why, exactly?

That makes even less sense than the anti-trans shit they just pulled.

Are they gonna try to deny retirement benefits to the trans member of the Seal Team 6 that killed Osama bin Laden?

Because doing this at all is vile throwback foolishness, but that would be a particularly ungrateful and tacky trash move.

But this is my emotional support apocalypse.

An empty frog-shaped impression in the cement to the right of a pair of feet.

Wile E. Frog

And “Voilá!” He’s gone.

Ugh Lord, no shit fair wages. I was literally just commenting on the sticker shock, and you’ve managed to make it needlessly boring, which tells me you’re a #ConflictBot.

Go pointlessly argue on Bad Twitter.

ESCAPE HARCH.

I look forward to making use of the proutic haripotator.

I can't help think anyone onboard this vessel will be providing their own skidmarks, so the skids will not be required.

AI is now capable of designing a record-breaking deep sea submersible on its own. This marks a new age of exploration and I encourage all my fellow AI champions to build one and get in it so they can celebrate this achievement from the bottom of the sea.

Yes, using nuclear power on the Moon has been posited for like, forever.

What’s different (and inherently hilarious) is the idea of Sean fucking Duffy having anything to do with it.

That dork can’t even keep planes in the sky, much less manage nuclear power plants on the Moon.

To most of us following Lunar Surface Power systems this isn't new. NASA Has been talking about this for awhile and had plans for this that predate the current administration. Dr.Tyson is right however, science reductions that are happening now aren't on brand. So much for Making America Great 1/

Raise your hand if you think Dean Cain is an asshole. 🙋

The end of the article quotes an expert “who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal” which makes the whole thing even MORE depressing.
