I love when various flakes are thrown into my enclosure. Rooting around for them enriches my experience.

Gangsta: "Those who have received RIF notices cannot prepare for their upcoming terminations because the human resources staff who would typically assist them are also furloughed.” Some human resources employees were brought in from furlough to work on the RIF, and then told to RIF themselves."

Uh-oh. Sounds like Speaker Johnson dove back into the sewer and came up with a nickel between his teeth.
Can he avoid taking a new vote forever? Maybe!

Scientists🔬 have built a super thin, sun-powered film that can kill about 99.995% of bacteria in heavily polluted water in about 40 minutes, making it a cheap, reusable way to get safe #drinking water 💦 in places that lack big treatment plants 😊

New sun-powered film purifies highly contaminated water in minutes

As per the study paper, this water disinfection film has been particularly designed for resource-limited and disaster-affected regions.

Also, the naive credibility so many have given the GOP's claims of caring about antisemitism given the explicitly anti-semitic origins of their support for Israel remains shocking to me as well.

It's not hard to figure out what is going on here!

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · Apr 9

It's remarkable how well Christian nationalists have gotten the media to accept their "antisemitism" framing, given their support for Israel is PROFOUNDLY anti-semitic.

These end-times Christians "support" Israel bc Revelations says Jesus won't return unless there's a Jewish state there.

BUT THEN?

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · Apr 9

Media challenge: try writing headlines without using the word "antisemitism". Stop using Trump's framing for his authoritarian actions.
"Trump administration now monitoring immigrant social media" would be shorter and more accurate, since no-one really believes this is about anti-semitism.

I don't know what Fox is doing by joining in with the news orgs. Not really their niche anymore. I'd be pretty shocked if it had something to do with preserving democracy.
