my awful helpdesk job kept getting dumb emails from corporate like "voluntary self-evaluation" and then they complained about total lack of response and still no one did it be a clock watcher, work-to-rule, or whatever other passive aggressive shit you can pull en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work-to...

Simple Sabotage Field Manual www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184

“Be the sand in the gears for the next four years” The original counterterrorism manual for the US Army emphasized sabotage. These guys make it easier by sloppily sabotaging their own plans

The true heroes of this time are career civil servants who conveniently lost passwords or dropped keys down the sewers to delay and defer the horrors just one more day. I want their book when this is all over.

This (thread) is the way.

Living humbly for a cause almost always achieves more than dying nobly for one.

takeaway: the archetype on the left can be just as revolutionary as the archetype on the right, and there can be WAY more of the archetype on the left doing effective work simultaneously in a society than of the archetype on the right /fin

even one new class action lawsuit they have to defend equals hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of lawyer time spent on defending this thing, which creates opportunities for them to screw up in defending all the other simultaneous lawsuits you beat a giant by attacking him with a million ants

even the federal government only has so many lawyers, it cannot put its best people on every single case simultaneously they also cannot just hire more lawyers because they are already having trouble recruiting even young conservative lawyers who are rightly afraid of having this on their resume

that is a real and material result!!! if ANY of those people win lawsuits against the government, they will receive actual compensation for the harm the government did to them AND create a precedent others can use for future lawsuits, all of which sap the government's doing-evil resources

now, as the whistleblower statement EXPLICITLY tells people so that lawyers can read it and look for these clients, the ~6,000 people who actually DID get wrongfully "killed off" have grounds for successful lawsuits against the government, and they can cite his whistleblower declaration in court

they were pretending to want efficiency and cost savings, so he pretended to believe the goal was efficiency and cost savings, and produced plans for efficiency and cost savings this forced them to admit, out loud and in front of witnesses, that their real objective was to ruin people's lives

he probably THOUGHT "oh my god fuck you guys this is outrageously evil" but this is a lifelong public servant who understands a fundamental strategy for interfering with an evil plan: pretend you think they really want what they are pretending to want, and offer to help them achieve it

also important, if you are someone in a position to implement "become the node of friction" notice how the whistleblower did not say "oh my god fuck you guys this is outrageously evil" he said "you are here for efficiency? I have some other ideas for efficiencies that could produce cost savings"

do not read this PDF and let it make you even more dismayed and despairing about how evil the evil people in it are you knew they were evil, you've seen the numbers on how many kids shutting down USAID already killed read this PDF and let it make you hopeful about how the word "no" saves lives

this very evil thing appears to have not happened in large part because one guy just refused to do it for as long as he could hold out until he couldn't hang in there anymore and quit his job, at which point the Do More Evil Machine had gotten bored and moved on to other ways of doing evil

Hi I'm posting a 54-page PDF to the only app where when I post a 54-page PDF people sometimes read it everyone should read the ENTIRE whistleblower statement about DOGE attempting to falsely "kill off" 2.7 people through the SSA Death Master File. www.washingtonpost.com/documents/be...

this example is an EXCELLENT insight into two things: 1. why the opinion "we should run government like a business" should be treated similarly to the opinion "we should kill and eat more human infants" 2. how even a single node of friction in a system can halt a more powerful person's evil plan

I do not understand why these interviewers plead with this lunatic calling them names instead of just sneeringly asking if he's talking to himself. Darling. It's not like the demented old man is going to give them another interview. Go out in a blaze of glory.

Feel like you can't replace all your employees with "help yourself" terminals and not expect this result.

Hard to believe this question has to be asked… Should judges who sit on the Supreme Court be impeached when they are found to be corrupt & not upholding their oaths ? 🇺🇸

ART2Section4— “The President,Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States,shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for,and Conviction of,Treason,Bribery,or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

I have no idea what the Bears are trying to do because neither do they

‘We should not have to sacrifice’: New York could become first state to temporarily ban large datacenters

Not sure who still needs to hear this but; “HEALTHCARE BEFORE DATA CENTERS”

Oh, honey . . . the only “weather issues” that affected that interview were the electrical storms in Donald’s head causing him to completely misfire, get pathologically defensive, and rain down a torrent of rude lies and BS.

YEP! 🫡 in the Chicago Harold Washington Library

Does he ever call men “crooked or stupid“ to their faces in a one-on-one interview? You know who does shit like that? Abusers.

##datacenters #AI

Every reporter who interviews him moving forward should just keep telling him, “but there’s no evidence of that…” so we can watch him implode on national television again lol

Note to @msnownews.bsky.social when your reporters say,”…despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud…” by adding “widespread” it implies that some voter fraud exists when it’s virtually nonexistent. We didn’t even discuss voter fraud until Shitler spread the big lie. “Rigged” = he’s losing

Entertaining! Back in the day, we had an engineer who'd openly watch porn on his computer which we could easily see when we passed his cubicle. He didn't last long, but longer than one might hope.

what if i told you the bears could just stay at soldier field

The writers, 5 cocktails in: Writer 1: OK, like Wag the Dog, the movie, the president was a pedophile, I like that plot. But let’s make the Albanians good guys and they win the war. Writer 2: this plot is so stupid. I’m in. Writer 3: Let’s do another line.

We proudly fly the Pride Flag above the Illinois State Capitol this month.

an account called World Bollard Association is what the internet was made for.

Our job in 2026 is the same as it would have been in 1939—not to be "Good Germans" in the face of obvious fascism, racism, wicked cruelty.

My two cents on The Chicago Bears threatening to move to Indiana if Illinois doesn't give them eleventy-zillion taxpayer dollars to build a new stadium: F 'em. If they want a new stadium so bad, they can pay for it themselves. Illinois taxpayers have better things to spend their money on.

Data centers are asking just too much for too little in return. I'm pausing the release of any new data center tax incentives in Illinois — and I'm calling on the General Assembly to act in veto session to make sure data centers are paying their fair share.

“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of us.” This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.

Four years running, the church that schismed to be pro slavery, and covered up hundreds of child sex abusers, thinks women are unworthy of the pastoral calling.

Pepper-sprayed yet undeterred: Faith leaders keep ministering at Delaney Hall: ‘We are called by our faith to put our bodies on the line if that’s the call,’ said the Rev. Robin Tanner, a Unitarian Universalist minister religionnews.com/2026/06/04/p...

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

I know I post and/or repost a lot about SNAP and WIC and other supplemental food programs. And in some ways this might be strange, as I've never been on them. But. The US is in the top handful of wealthiest societies to ever exist. If we can't even feed people, what is even the point of society?

Why do sports teams owned by billionaires and not the public expect state and city tax dollars to pay for their stadiums? It’s so fucking stupid.

This is about owning the Chicago libs. There is no price too high for the GOP administration. After all, the overlords don’t pay taxes. Only the minions.
