The bearded ginger some god-bothering dingus probably warned you about.
He / Him
- Imagine my surprise at hearing one of my former colleagues being interviewed during an episode of a show I listen to pretty regularly. I'll post a link in a reply below.
- Speaking only for myself, the work Merici was performing was invaluable. Sadly, it has all basically been thrown away, which is the exact opposite of efficiency. Her interview starts at about 35:30. 5/8/25: #theDavidPakmanShow podcastaddict.com/the-david-pa...
- Poor Linda McMahon. She could have avoided this embarrassing incident if she had used A1 to check her spelling and grammar before sending the letter to Harvard.
- AgSec Brooke Rollins mentioned "[...] non-trade bariffs" (not a typo) & said, "[...] our soybeans are being taken advantage of" on CNN's State of the Union today. Now, I fully expect conservatives to start talking about "bariffs" and how immigrants are raping soybeans later this week.
- One of my favorite talks from this year's American Atheists (@atheists.org) convention was Arden Hart's (@theardenhart.bsky.social) presentation on confronting transphobia in the secular movement. You should definitely watch it. youtu.be/cxOAh20qo84

- Your own personal data is being weaponized against you. Trump Wants to Merge Government Data. Here Are 314 Things It Might Know About You. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...
- Trump: The tariff policies informed by Peter Navarro's bizarre beliefs will never change. Market: *nosedives* Musk: Peter Navarro is "Dumber than a sack of bricks." Trump: I'm pausing the wild tariff policy for 90 days. Now we know who "wears the pants" in this bromance.
- What will you wear when your MAGA hat goes out of style?
- Such good news!
- The demographic group that benefited most from DEI efforts was white women. That same demographic voted for Trump (43% for Harris, 53% for Trump) because their bigotry and hatred for others is stronger and more abundant than their levels of intelligence, compassion, and self-preservation.
- The Utah legislature is making embarrassing headlines again for continuing their long streak of bowing to the whims of cranks and kooks. abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/u...

- According to Donald Trump while speaking from the White House today, POC means "People Of Crime."
- It's always fun when people say things like, "Bernie has always been right and has always had the same views."
- So, we're outright denying objective reality now? I suppose that shouldn't come as a surprise from our resident space Nazi. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
- TFW you learn your National Security Advisor added a reporter from The Atlantic to a text messaging group to discuss military attack plans.
- Krasnov strikes again.
- Trump terminates program tracking mass abductions of Ukrainian children www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
- Golly. Who could have seen this coming IMMEDIATELY on the heels of the shameful display of cowardice from Schumer, et al? 🙋 The more he is given, the more he will take.
- Tariffs are taxes used by wealthy people to hide those taxes in the cost of products.
- THEY'RE ALREADY DOING THAT @SCHUMER.SENATE.GOV YOU FUCKING IDIOT ALL THIS DOES IS GUARANTEES MUSK CAN KEEP SHUTTING THE GOVERNMENT DOWN OFFICE BY OFFICE RESIGN, YOU GUTLESS BRAINLESS TRUMP COLLABORATOR
- Republicans are going to continue ruining our economy and destroying our government regardless of whether their "awful" CR passes or not. Rather than being seen as doing something to get in their way, Chuck Schumer will forever be seen as supporting them while they do it.

- WATCH--@chrislhayes.bsky.social to Sen. Chuck Schumer: "What is the cost you see to the constitutional order of a shutdown that isn't already being done now?"
- Republicans are going to continue ruining our economy and destroying our government regardless of whether their "awful" CR passes or not. Rather than being seen as doing something to get in their way, Chuck Schumer will forever be seen as supporting them while they do it.
- Senator Chuck Schumer is a weak and ineffectual "leader" who needs to retire or be retired. He intends to vote for the partisan Republican spending bill, further exposing his cowardice and his weakness. He's certainly old enough to have learned this lesson, but he still hasn't. #FuckChuck
- Good. This should happen more often. Small federal agency blocks DOGE employees from entering its building www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
- Jesus Christ. This looks like something one of his particularly dim worshippers would have tweeted.

- This is a clear violation of several laws, including the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution. He is officially becoming a dictator while his supporters cheer him on and congressional Republicans continue their obsequious and cowardly stance of handing over their own power.

- Show me your favorite TrumPutin meme.
- If you have a substantial amount of money in your 401K or TSP, I urge you to examine your holdings and consider transferring the bulk of it to very low risk funds. Things are going to get very bad very quickly.
- Because I was asked, these are the changes I made to my TSP: I made an interfund transfer of: 10% to the L 2070 fund 80% to the G fund 5% to the C fund 5% to the S fund And then I set my future contributions to be: 35% to the C fund 30% to the L2070 fund 35% to the S fund
- This is exactly what every experienced risk and security analyst knew would happen. America's adversaries are more intelligent than our incompetent and disastrous administration. They are recruiting disaffected federal workers for the insider knowledge they possess. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

- Yep. And most of them will suffer consequences for the information they provide without realizing how easily that information can be compiled and used against us.

- That's exactly right for some people. The broader concern is the number of people who will unwittingly and innocently divulge the inner workings and weaknesses of our agencies.
- You don't stop a bully by giving him what he wants. You punch him in the fucking mouth. #FuckPutin #FuckTrump
- You know what would make America great again? Getting rid of every sniveling, cowardly, traitorous Republican politician who has abandoned our allies to side with a murdering dictator. I have never been so ashamed of my country and the "leadership" that is actively destroying it.

- Trump and Musk plan to throw all of that experience and dedication - along with the knowledge of even more seasoned employees - on the dust heap of humanity with everything else they have ruined throughout their despicable existences.
