How in the hell did a metric boatload of talent get fired at MSNBC and none of their names rhyme with Schmoe or Schmika? I will ride or die with Rachel and Jen, but there are other options for the rest of the day.

Between the venture capitalists who bought my mobile home park in order to economically evict 125 families and the rest of this (all encompassing arm wave), I feel like I'm standing on the sidewalk with a firehouse pointed straight at my face. All day. Every day.

Never been in this position before. Going to a protest on Monday, and I'm paralyzed by what to put on our signs. SO hard to focus. Writing teachers, help! #rhetoric #protest

Looks like somebody manned up and told Presidents Dunning and Kruger what the "S" in NNSA stands for.
National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

People, I've got "Baba O'Riley" stuck in my head, and all I can hear is "Teenage Henchman. We're only Teenage Henchmen...." So, that's not great.

Fantastic roundup of the Musk coup by @mmasnick.bsky.social; Musk's unappointed cronies have infiltrated more of the federal government than I'd heard.

Alta Vista. I know it's not still a thing, but, could we get it back?

Thinking right now about a long ago report that came across the AP wire on the overnight shift about some kid in Chicago, who was directed to climb up on top of a box corrugater and kick loose an obstruction. Feel free to thank a Trump voter.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Smashed records.

I assumed I'd be the young one at Senior Citizen P.E., but our 'aerobics' playlist starts with the greatest hits of 1984 and works back to 1970. Apparently, all of these other old people I'm looking at as we sit here in this circle doing our chair weightlifting are...my peers?
