I'm looking at you now @bloomberg.com ... why do you keep asking me to log in when I pay you? Which I'm happy to do. Like, just keep me logged in for the term of my subscription (probably a year?), then ask again (or not)?

Everything happening this week was laid out in Project 2025. Government hiring and funding will tilt to MAGA loyalists while “DEI hires” pushed out and “woke programs” defunded. This will be a durable change as Democrats will never execute a similar purge to excise MAGA influence if they win again.

Ladies and gentlemen: we did it

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation. The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ? Suggestions ?

God what a gift to be able to dog-walk Zuck in his mentions on his own platform, I finally have a place to channel all of my rage to someone who truly deserves it and who knows that I have been shitting on him to his face for fully half of his time on this earth.

I think I'll just make this a periodic post. Why do news organizations that I pay $$ for keep "forgetting" my login and making me re-login? Same device/browser. Do you not like loyal subscribers? It makes me regret subscribing. Remember me. How hard is it? @forbes.com I'm looking at you this time.

@jay.bsky.team please, i beg, implement “remove this follower” or soft blocking. i don’t need to give certain people the attention of being blocked (it’s what they want), but i also don’t want to be associated with them in any way.

My "New Heroes" project for the National Academies aims to capture the essence of leaders in science, engineering, and medicine through photography. I hope these quiet portraits will help humanize those who play a vital role in our collective existence. www.christophermichel.com/New-Heroes/N...
