Frequently curmudgeonly and proud of it. Somehow I went from being a scientist to the “dad/designated asshole/adult in the room” for a whole bunch of people at a startup. “Why is that duck in the ceiling?” -every scientist everywhere

If you walked into the voting booth and put a fucking check mark next to "Donald J. Trump" for President, you cannot fucking say "I didn't vote for this". YES YOU DID. You checked the box, you posted the memes, you owned the libs, and now we are all being rewarded for your hatred and racism. Thanks.

In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

It's time to end DEI and bring back the meritocracy.
Among other things, Bari Weiss' sister is now making appearances on CBS News.
"How embarrassing. Bari’s been Editor-in-Chief for five seconds and has revealed that all she really wants is to be on TV herself. It doesn’t get more toe-curling than this," one network staffer told me about Weiss moderating a CBS town hall with Erika Kirk.

DOGE hasn’t gone away, it’s metastasized.
The Reuters article is more illustrative than the headline of course, but “DOGE doesn’t exist anymore” is a misleading premise because more than 100 former DOGErs have become deeply embedded in federal agencies to generally fuck around with our data and arbitrarily disrupt budgets.
UPDATE: We've added 5 more staffers to our DOGE tracker, taking the total to 114.
This is everyone who we've confirmed has worked for DOGE ⤵️

Nursing is no longer considered a ‘professional degree’ by Trump administration under new bill
Nursing has been excluded as a “professional degree” by the Trump administration as the Department of Education prepares to make massive cuts to providing student loans.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.
