DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Let's be clear, Republicans are also getting calls! In fact, weighted by population, Nebraska constituents have had a higher call rate than California constituents...
NE: 357.0 calls per 100k residents (total: 7,002 calls)
CA: 356.3 calls per 100k residents (total: 140,872 calls)

**NEW CALL** Demand your reps work to reverse the Trump admin's decision to cut NIH and NSF funding!
These cuts will cause an immediate and massive funding shortfall at research institutions nationwide, forcing layoffs and jeopardizing critical scientific research.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Should these pages come back, pay careful attention to the changes that have been made & how they are being used to construct a fantasized, national identity. Heritage, incl. history, are powerful parts of identity, & they are going to be rewritten into fantasized, & likely nativist, narratives.
Every archaeologist in the US needs to be proactively organizing against the erasure of cultural heritage 🏺
While I can't confirm anything at this point, it looks like the National Park Service has taken down web pages for:
National Japanese American Memorial
Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial
Stonewall National Monument

A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with a joke inscription roughly equivalent to:
“I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂
Dated to about 70 AD, this iron stylus pen was found in London during excavations by MOLA. 📷 MOLA

![The photo shows a Roman iron stylus pen used to write on wax-filled wooden writing tablets. It has an inscription which runs along its length on four sides. The image shows the four lines of inscribed text which read:
‘ab urbe v[e]n[i] munus tibi
gratum adf(e)ro
acul[eat]um ut habe[a]s memor[ia]m nostra(m)
rogo si fortuna dar[e]t quo possem
largius ut longa via ceu sacculus est (v)acuus’
‘I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift
with a sharp point that you may remember me.
I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give)
as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty.’

Here's one from my trip to Memphis in 2016. A pilgrimage to the legendary Stax records (now a museum). Memphis has a fascinating history if you stop to read.

So I don't really have any self promotion to do here. I don't write stuff down, or put stuff up. But I did used to have a Tumblr for a while called Weird Plaques. After some time I stopped posting because the plaques I like are not always "weird" per se, just historically interesting
