Looks pretty awesome! What happens when all or most of the federal funding is pulled?

Do not refer to the Incel Clown Posse as "engineers."

Engineers are trained. Software engineers are educated. They have degrees. Experience. Credentials.

These little zit pickers are failson wanna be hackers.

Stop using professional words to describe them. They are not professionals.

Thanks to @saragoud.bsky.social and @thebulletin.org for lending me their platform.

US national security and economic stability are at risk so long as DOGE officials are meddling in codebases they do not understand. The systems must be restored to a known-good state. bsky.app/profile/sara...

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

Been wondering how ready our science friends in agencies like NPS and EPA have been for this second journey into chaos. I'm guessing pretty damned ready

Yesterday, ICE raided a business in New Jersey and detained both citizens and non-citizens — without a warrant. They even detained a U.S. military veteran.

Nobody is safe.

Trump's aides are just warming up for an entire presidency of "having no idea" that he was going to do the thing he just did. Hell, he doesn't even know until it falls out of his face.

Not to be alarmist, but please be prepared for many gov services to vanish or be horribly downgraded in the months to come. While continuing to push national and local electeds to hold the line, think about non-gov groups that are supporting folks in your community and consider how to support them.
