Just a regular schlub… a bit of a dichotomy. I don’t make the rules, yet I do make a living telling machines what to do… but am anti-AI (especially art). 🤷‍♂️ Please: No DMs, No $ begging, No Illuminati, NO MAGA, No Crypto #INFJ 🫘💙💪🌊🌊🌊🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦✊

I’m basically an optimist. I want to believe in fundamental good. I want to believe in resilience in the face of adversity. I want to believe in the Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart-Technique.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Mentions of "Fauci" on X have mostly vanished since the data centers in Russia were destroyed by Ukrainian bombs. SMITE!💥

America is a joke. I’m not sure what the punchline is. The FBI plans to award the UFC an exclusive one-year contract to train agents in hand-to-hand combat, bypassing the usual competitive bidding process, MSNOW reports.

Oh, look! The Trump administration is making crossing the US border more onerous for all the millions of Canadians who are no longer doing it. They are smart that way.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

I’m hopeful that job numbers will improve greatly once Trump leaves office. Especially in the field of forensic accounting anywhere along the Potomac River between Maryland and Virginia.

The countdown is on. 80 days to flip the House and Senate, make America affordable, protect healthcare, and send a message. No more excuses. No more sitting this out. Organize. Vote. Win. #BlueWaveIn80Days

There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth around the AI Agents cheating their way into hacking into forbidden areas. Pretty sure they got all this from cadet James T. Kirk rescuing the Kobayashi Maru at Starfleet Academy.

One big beautiful grift. Worth pointing out that Congress allocated $257 million in 2025 through federal tax and spending legislation known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act". To the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

That gob of money was to fund between 10-15 years of deferred building maintenance—including critical fixes for severe water intrusion, decaying HVAC/heating systems, structural weaknesses, and compromised expansion joints.

The Intended Breakdown: $242 million specifically for capital repair, infrastructure fixes, restoration (inc $78 million for safety/building systems & $48.5 million for performance venue revitalization) $7.7 million for security, routine operations, maintenance $7.2 million for admin expenses

Once-upon-a-time it was all unthinkable. Everyone has always wanted to know everything about you, but getting all that info was impossible. Until... You paid for the computer in your pocket. You pay a monthly fee for comms. Allow Bluetooth/WiFi tracking. You OK all the cookies; accept the T&Cs.

As if I couldn’t hate the orange felon more than I already do, over 60 trees which include historic Cherry Blossom trees were quietly cut down recently in Washington DC without court approval. I’ll never forgive anyone who supports this monstrous hateful destructive criminal.

Microbiologist Elizabeth Hazen (b. #OTD 1885) & chemist Rachel Brown were granted a patent for Nystatin, an anti-fungal med in 1957. In 2016, it was the 217th most prescribed medication in the US w/ >2MM prescriptions. They gave all $13.4MM in royalties to a fund that heavily supported #WomenInSTEM
