So if the government of Texas removes my representation via redistricting, Does that mean I’m no longer obligated to pay taxes? Ya know, that whole “no taxation without representation”?

I was unaware dialup was still a service I could purchase.

How is Dairy Queen not all over this LIZZARD meme?

Grounds for Impeachment would be a great name for a covfefe shop

Has anyone been testing this in LA over the last week? For research purposes, of course.

ICE suddenly has the only opportunity they’ll ever have to do the funniest thing they are capable of.

I’ve just discovered that June is also Scoliosis Awareness Month, And it makes me wonder what other things that aren’t straight that I should be aware of.

Just learned about Excel’s XLOOKUP function. How long has this been a thing? Whenever VLOOKUP isn’t an option, I’ve been using INDEX/MATCH.

It’s not that “Katy Perry got to go to space and I didn’t.” We’re mad that a group of celebrities are hailed as “astronauts” while women in STEM are laid off and called “DEI hires.” Even Amanda Nguyen’s messaging about gender-based violence and inequality in STEM was overshadowed by girl-boss bs.

The version I have doesn’t seem to be removing depression. Oh wait, Surrounding area…

That’s all folks

When I finally retire, I’m gonna open a bakery. It’ll be called… Advanced Persistent Treats (Apologies if I read the somewhere, forgot, and stole it without attribution that I don’t remember)

Finally, after years of ad hoc donations, I finally became a scheduled recurring donating member of the @eff.org No idea what took me so long. I highly encourage you to do the same.

Is there a burner phone swap party at @defcon.bsky.social? Like every brings a factory sealed box to exchange? Heck, maybe even like a secret Santa where they’re all in a pile, and you can pick a new one and/or steal. We can even wrap them so you know which one you brought and not to grab that one.

There's a #LunarEclipse tonight! If you're in the dark region here, and if you have a view of the Moon at the right time, you'll see the eclipse.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Ok this is nuts but we urgently need #USAID witnesses for TODAY 2/26: Marocco has stated that the USG cannot make all of the payments by midnight tonight. The lawyers need people who can refute (can be anonymous) and make the case that these payments CAN move! Contact [email protected]

If you're a veteran cheering on Medicaid cuts, don't. They're coming for your benefits next.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

DO NOT DO THIS. Whatever you do, please do not email [email protected] in response to Elon Musk's request for federal employees to justify their existence. DO NOT send an email because that would obviously flood their system and create a lot of congestion on their email servers.

This.

I'm going insane reading posts on /r/amerexit - here is a quick private video on immigration: youtu.be/VME5gG9Xva4

Strip clubs, topless bars, Hooters etc have an opportunity to do something really funny and insist on making their workforce 50% male in order to comply with anti-DEI mandates. Those ladies are taking jobs away from red-blooded American men who need the work

I’m particularly proud of this one.

I remember making the joke that my retirement plan was awaiting the collapse of society. After many years of hard work, I’m pleased to announce that I’m retiring early and ahead of my planned schedule!

First!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation @eff.org is fighting for the digital rights of everyone in the USA. We demand accountability for this unconscionable collection and sharing of private data happening right now.

Imagine what a competent opposition party could do with this stuff

It feels so weird being in the daily stand up at work as if everything is normal, Then I look at my phone and am abruptly reminded how abnormal everything is right now.
