Tomorrow about a third of Perseverance rover staff will be laid off, despite the mission being the penultimate step in a decades long effort to bring samples back from mars.

Reckless, needless budget cuts intended to hinder the pursuit of knowledge.

Waitress, Come From Away, and Hadestown are on my current rotation of music to listen to while doing chores/crafts/whatever.

And it looks like that’s already in the works. From CNN: “FEMA is in direct contact with state and local officials and has an incident management team traveling to Alaska as we speak with a FEMA search-and-rescue group pre-positioned in Washington on standby.”

The governor has to ask for federal help and the president has to issue a Declaration of Emergency for FEMA to be able to do anything.

There are no big-hearted billionaires. For everyone's good the number of billionaires needs to be zero.

For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing “a great job.”

Men Are Becoming Less Manly, Scientist Thinks

Men today are not as roughly masculine as they used to be, according to Dr. Edward K. Strong, of Palo Alto, California, noted psychology professor at Stanford University. He set forth this conclusion in an article in the current issue of the Journal of Social Psychology.

The only he-men are engineers and farmers, he stated in an account of a survey of divisions of interest among the sexes.

But if you are a minster, a lawyer, a doctor, a writer or a newspaperman, you have feminine interests, which have become stronger with each generation.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare.

But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there.

Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.
