DOGE was extremely bad at cutting overall spending, but managed to eliminate a bunch of stuff that saved large numbers of lives cheaply
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

The number of people blaming the continuation of blue laws in Bergen co on Christianity and not on America's Moloch, the Automobile, is a little frustrating.
So getting a lot of questions about this, basically, Bergen County is one of the last counties in the United States that has a Sunday closing law which bans the sale of electronics, clothes, etc., but it does not apply to groceries, so Costco is open, but any non-groceries look like this:

Before you leap to judge this, consider that these laws are what make Bergen County the model of placid conviviality and strong citizenship that we all know it to be

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

okay I don't mean to spoil the ending but the real horror is that she's Italian
it is very much Lovecraftian cosmic horror bc the horror isn’t something “scary” as much as an sense of deep violation upon the contemplation of a sexual act between a woman and a strange creature from New England that non-ironically hates human lives
has anyone pirated the Eldritch Horror post yet
