@horizontalescal @mattyglesias Because the federal government doesn’t need news? Are they supposed to get it from social media? The Air Force research center I worked with took ‘Aviation Week’, a McGraw Hill publication. MH owned TV stations until 2011. Did that mean the USAF was subsidizing ABC affiliates?

@JDVance If @JDVance really believes this, he needs to hand back Yale his JD. If it’s just BS, he needs to resign.

@DrPatSoonShiong Reminding me I made the right decision dumping your paper after you spiked the Harris endorsement.

If Trump can disregard process to give Musk’s employees quick access to the Treasury payment system, he can just as easily give them access to the IRS and Census. If that doesn’t bother you, you’re part of the problem.

RT @sandibachom: Read/copy/repost if you can From an anonymous OPM employee on Reddit. submitted 3 hours ago by Throwaway918284: "I'm a cu…

@WIRED If the OPM includes senior advisors to the new leadership that "WIRED is not naming because of their ages", WIRED needs to grow a pair. If they're in a position of authority in the Federal government and old enough to sign a contract, they're old enough to face public scrutiny.

@davidshor We know Trump is to take the great economic hand he was dealt and fuck it up. The Democrats will win the midterms, and it’ll be Jeffries tearing up paper in front of him. Whether he will reach the finish line in such tatters that JD just packs up and moves back to OH is TBD.

@Chris_Taylor_0 @RepJasmine Hey there Chris. Quick question: are you equating “DEI” with “Affirmative Action”, where the latter is defined as “giving hiring preference to people who had previously been excluded from being hired, and might be less qualified”?

RT @nikicaga: I can't believe one of the most scathing quotes about conservativism comes from George Wallace

It’s going to be a bit nippy, so Trump’s taking his Inaugural indoors. 2021 wasn’t exactly picture perfect, but Joe did it outside anyway, because he’s not a t-word.

@catturd2 Funny? In what way. The Democratic campaigns told voters what was coming. Now that it’s going to be Administration policy, they’ll switch to talking about the various pieces of Project 2025 shit as they hit the fan.

@front_ukrainian My thought would be to ask @Shaban113 what he’s heard about which foreign IFV seems to have done well. My opinion isn’t relevant.

@MarkSZaidEsq I don’t see that the apparent inability to identify urgency is relevant

@broadwaybabyto Having married long before dating apps became the primary means of finding romantic partners, your story makes me wonder if the popularity of electronic sifting was driven by these situations, and if it has at all decreased them.

Alice Springs, Oz was my first experience with locked up toiletries, to keep the Aboriginal kids from huffing deodorants. And my workaround 10 years ago was the same as everyone in the US now: “screw it, I’ll get it on Amazon.”

A tale of two PRC corporations: Kunlun Tech divested Grindr for $490m profit. Bytedance would rather take a $16b loss to close US TikTok business than sell? Perhaps Congress was onto something.

@ScottWalker California: 250 ppl/sqmi Montana: 7.8 ppl/sqmi So, if you burn a square mile of each, "liberal policies" cause more damage in CA? Don't act like a dipshit, it's not becoming.

Any Senator/Congressman from a state colored blue should STFU about aid to orange states that create the tax surplus they leech off of. @TTuberville @MikeJohnson

@_HistoryNerd No, it wasn’t a future they almost created. Germany put the equivalent of a Manhattan Project worth of GDP to get the V-2 developed and into production, and deployed to almost no effect in the last eight months of the war. The rest was concepts and underfunded lab experiments.

@timfarmer As the old man would have said: “sure, that’s plenty of room…. in an F-4!”
