One year ago today, NASA flagship Europa Clipper launched. Today, NASA JPL, which built it, fired another 500 people. (They've lost 25% of workers total.) We're sacrificing scientists and engineers to build concentration camps and gaudy White House ballrooms. NASA is in crisis. America is in crisis.

Layoff notices at JPL are going out today.

About 11% of the Lab, or 550 people, are being let go.

I'm thinking of my friends and colleagues there, some of whom will still be employed after today and some of whom won't.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this.

I will send both of you a really cool video of monkeys I just took if you do your things

Uh that is extremely hot

I’m on travel so I’ve been quiet but thinking very much of my friends and colleagues and science family at JPL today. I was lucky enough to work there from 2004-2005 and my heart is broken.

They brought their amateur weirdos to a PDX fight.

LA: we will fight you.

Chicago: we will fight you.

PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

It's happening again

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

You would think maybe one media outlet could not only assert that this isn't true, but also make a big, multi-day story out of the fact the U.S. president believes a perfectly fine, major American city is a burning, dystopian hellscape

Yale researchers analyzed data from 158 million US workers and found that even after the pandemic, COVID-19 continues to raise work absences by 13% and labor force exits by 13%.

The virus has created a new year-round baseline similar to flu season.

Yet again, USA:

Do not permit this or anything like it.

Require that Congress block it, #ImpeachRFKJr, and #ImpeachTrump.

Before they kill even more people than they already have.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Matthew Wasserbach, brokerage manager of Express Customs Clearance, said of the UPS backlog. “It’s totally unprecedented.”

😂fair

None of you are helpful 😂

😂 amazing

Is it ever not?

I’ve been away from the internet since Monday. Anything I should know?

I see that. I’m glad! (I’m in an unusual time zone for me and it makes everything so confusing)

What???

The Trump admin has lied about this case from the start — and now it can't get its story straight about next steps for Mr. Abrego Garcia.

This reeks of a political prosecution and the courts must continue to ensure his due process rights are protected.
