Friends, what if there was a job where you got to be annoying, extremely online, make terrible "art", and help save lives?
No, it's not fiction. It's real.

The world factbook was an invaluable resource in asylum petitions—a place where the federal government acknowledged in writing that, for example, Tibetans face systematic repression in China. I don’t like to have it vanish.
Add the CIA World Factbook to the long and growing list of disappearing government datasets: www.cia.gov/stories/stor...

School librarians are freaking out. The site is used a lot, esp for middle school. And nonfiction that isn't narrative or bio - such as country fact books - has been decimated in kidlit to the point where it doesn't really exist anymore outside little kid books, so no replacement for the site.
Killing the CIA World Factbook might seem like small potatoes, but it was a touchstone of curated facts in a sea of disinformation.

Mark Watney would disagree.
There's a persistent idea of space as the next step in human exploration, and I think a kind of disappointment that at least for now this isn't a high seas style adventure. But those high seas adventures were motivated largely by trade and conquest, neither of which are available in space.

As if educators weren't radicalized enough, they had to go and delete the CIA Factbook.

She read the room.
She has been fairly anti-progressive in the past. But off to a great start as governor.
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Leftists have this thing that purity outweighs practicality and that’s dumb. But liberals have this thing that we can’t demand better and just have to accept the suck. That’s stupid too.

Constantly telling ourselves that the right wins because hate is “easy” is a get out of jail free cards for Democrats not trying. The party of “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” and “yes we can” just isn’t trying anymore.

Watching the Pope clean Mike Johnson's clock in a boxing ring would fix me.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

A guy at work was telling us all a story about his hot water heater. I chimed in that it’s actually called a water heater and that hot water wouldn’t need to be heated. No one ever sits with me at lunch.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
Yes, Peter decided that the continued existence of our democracies isn't compatible with his desired level of personal freedom.
