Wow it’s so crazy that Congress appropriated funds and the president just decided that the money isn’t real

Like Article 1 isn’t a thing anymore lol 🙃

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Chinese scientists have created a oyster-inspired medical adhesive called Bone-02 that can bond shattered bones in just 3 minutes. Inspired by how oysters cling to rocks underwater, the glue forms a strong, biodegradable bond that replaces screws and plates. buff.ly/znJ2jxD

Great 🧵; this is the main point. If the President can spend money on whatever he wants without congressionally mandated appropriations we don't have separation of powers, or even really a constitutional republic (at least under the terms of our constitution). We just don't.
So just how bad is this? I got a text from an appropriator friend saying "The Republic has fallen. Pack it in."

Mike Johnson gives me the creeps almost more than the rest of these fuckers.

Anyway, here’s a German language news story where his wife admits they banged before marriage and they lie about it to their daughter

Today in war ravaged Portland, the yarn bombers brought out their weapons and attacked another neighborhood, leaving stunned citizens and skeins of unrest everywhere. When will it end? The horror!

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history
Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Someone trying to explain large language models to Ezra Klein is both the scariest and funniest thing I’ve ever read.
And then we don't quite know how the billions of tiny numbers are doing the work that they do. We understand the thing that tweaks the billions of tiny numbers, but we do not understand the tiny numbers themselves. The A.I. is doing the work, and we do not know how the work is being done.

Core to playing this down is pretending that "Young Republicans" aren't 40 years old with top positions in both the party and government. One's a state senator.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
