Dark Crystal and a double espresso in my giant person sized dog bed is how I'm coping this morning, how about you?

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.

Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

If we can come back from the gutting of the government, manufactured financial crisis, and a period of environmental upheaval before, we can do it again. Just understand that the future you saw for your children no longer exists in the way you envisioned it. Here is a peek, because history rhymes.

Non-profits are worried about a possible federal funding freeze. We can help. Project Safeguard offers free legal help to survivors of domestic violence, stalking, and human trafficking in the Denver Metro Area. I'll match the next fifty $5 donations: www.coloradogives.org/story/B8trpf

Elon got pilled and audience-captured a long time ago.

The anons he listens to are setting the agenda of the government. Their weird conspiracy theories are his reality. Their newsletter ramblings are his media. And they mob his enemies.

An extremely repetitive process keeps happening…
Trump has given Musk total, uncabined, unconstitutional authority. And who is Musk listening to? It's the /pol/ trolls. It's who he's hired, it's who dominates his social media site. And that site is driving the entire discourse, too, controlling media narratives.
