Murderbot is incredibly well-adapted. It’s got all the heart. All the spectacle. But without being so beholden to book details that it falls flat.

Just restarted The Lady Astronauts by the incredible Mary Robinette Kowal and in the first sentence I already want to go back and listen to every audiobook she’s ever narrated.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?
DON'T DO IT.
If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.
Document, document, document.

This is fucking hilarious. Like Medicare has a monstrous anti-fraud army. They’re been at it literally decades. They’re good at their job. The idea that these people are going to walk in and find actual fraud is so fucking stupid.
Musk's latest power grab: your Medicare benefits.
Elon - you're looking in the wrong place. Private insurers in Medicare Advantage overcharged taxpayers by at least $83 billion in 2024 alone.

Public sector HR are almost always decent people.
A USAID HR director sent out this email today to staff letting them know he was placed on administrative leave.
“Today, representatives of the Agency's front office and DOGE instructed me to violate the due process of our employees by issuing immediate termination notices to a group of employees.”
