Pictures from Day 1 of my Nepal trek from my good cameras. Jiri to Shivalaya.

@neoavatara That's what they did for the old Robert Lee elementary in Austin: Russell Lee (he was a WPA photographer)

@eigenrobot Yep. There's no reasonable center position on DEI given the entrenched workforce who were supplying DEI. And the idea Affirmative Action was anything other than a quota mechanism at heart is...naive.

@AlexCaswen I’ll just say large follower accounts with very few following are not why I spend time on Twitter.

@anielizarmly I refuse to accept it is the cuck chair.

@WomanCorn You know, I've noticed this a few times as well. What was weird was the posting style was definitely for people who knew the game a bit and I was surprised to see like 30 Follows/5 Followers.

@Bonecondor Wait, they were arm wrestling? I missed that.

@matlamb74 @chriswithans That's what's amusing about it.

@seanmmcbride @EdWhelanEPPC Yeah, my question is how appropriations controls and statute work together for the Feds. Does an appropriation control, duly passed into law, overcome a statute? For us it doesn't ever come up.

@MichaelWatsonDC @varadmehta @CTIronman The one thing I would say is a lot of this that is being ripped out took a long time to be established and would take a long time, and unified D control, to build back.

@arctanno @seconds_0 Japanese I think and a few old Yahoo email accounts.

@growing_daniel Whoa. My youth.

An appropriations rider is not guidance, however--it is a legal restriction on the use of funds. There's two prongs here: a) Directs the agency to do something specific--I'm not sure how the Feds work but this would violate single subject rule here but b) Tells them they cannot expend funds. This would stop any change because no agency resources could be used to do it.

@Bonecondor Go Pancake!

@chriswithans "It's an APA violation for designated employees to see a database" from the same crew that gave us "You can mint a trillion dollar coin" Is tough to take seriously.

@bf_crane We must be the tutorial version of the simulation. I mean: MR BEAST

@baseballcrank Yep. This is why a far smarter strategy is to reallocate funds as allowed by the appropriations act.

@tbonier It's nothing more or less than government administration of a racial spoils system.

@jonneale01 I missed the bit where dismantling a racist spoils system intended to create a government administered caste system is lurching into oligarchy.

@ReubenR80027912 Sure, but hell no to box 2!
