I invented a game. It’s called 4 x 3.

It’s like connections except that there are three words in each category, there are four categories, and one word is in all four categories.

Easy mode is when you know the special word. Hard is when you don’t.

one thing about this is that it shows how terminally online these people are
ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh.

here’s the thing: why wouldn’t you treat every dumbass idea as potentially worthwhile when a month later you can just go “oopsies” and no one holds you accountable for giving credence to stupid shit?

It’s almost like this was just a stunt and poorly thought out 😒
Across the country, workers who were just ordered back to the office have now learned that their agencies will no longer occupy the buildings they once were in, leaving them scrambling to figure out how to honor Trump’s return-to-office mandate with vastly fewer offices.
Federal workers sent back to the office, then told the office is going away
The Trump administration’s widespread lease terminations are leaving agencies scrambling and federal employees feeling whiplash.
