Lot of @noaa.gov folks leaving us this week, since those choosing to retire have to be out by May 3rd.
Thank you for your service.

Don't want to hear the complaining. No calls all day long for anyone. Can't just decide to start on the last play of the game. Big win! #NYK

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

Separately, on Musk's email, a point I think is not being made enough is that federal payroll makes up less than 5% of US government spending.
Federal workers are 1.4% of all workers, but they're responsible for how 25% of US GDP is spent.
This has *nothing* to do with saving money

It’s curious to me that the only people celebrating TikTok’s (apparently temporary) ouster are those that had never used it. Why not just let people be?

The Dodgers have signed closer Tanner Scott to a four year deal worth $72 million. @feinsand.bsky.social had it first. Passan had the numbers.
