USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.”
THIS HAS TO STOP.

Top Security Officials at Aid Agency Put on Leave After Denying Access to Musk Team Workers at the U.S. Agency for International Development are bracing for a loss of its independent status and sweeping layoffs as President Trump continues slashing foreign aid.

Wtf is this guy even doing? These kind of resource-related untruths are the smoke and mirrors that distract people from large-scale disasters in-the-making. Similarities to past events under dictatorships in other parts of the world (thinking of Maoist China) are hard to ignore.

A poster called Snakes of the United States & Canada, featuring every species of snake found in these two countries, all arranged by relative size and taxonomy, all smiling.

A close-up of the poster, with a variety of cute snakes, from watersnakes to hog-nosed snakes.

Happy year of the snake! I would argue that the snakes of the United States are just as varied and pretty as our birds. A few years ago I made a poster to try and prove it. Drawing this took many months and a lot of research. You can get it here:
