Pull your troops out of Ukraine and then you can talk

Rogue partisan bureaucrat who has been doing her job for 20+ years. Not the rogue partisan administration that has been in office for a week and is trying to set everything on fire without any oversight from these 20 year professionals.

The White House defended the firing of Fong and the other inspectors general, saying "these rogue, partisan bureaucrats... have been relieved of their duties in order to make room for qualified individuals who will uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy."

The doublespeak is rampant

Is it political spam? They were sending all political emails to spam, but then politicians complained, so they changed that policy.

Misleading headline. Here is what is actually going on.

"This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo," she said. "Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction. The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented."

It’s not. They are still pursuing this. The headline is misleading.

Deporting all the aliens from the space force base. I get it, they’re finally admitting that extraterrestrial life exists.

That’s literally the plan. What the fuck. Also, the Biden Administration didn’t abandon them, Boeing’s craft was deemed unsafe.

You mean they ripped off the copyrighted material that OpenAI ripped off?

Dog execution was a qualification for the position

The memories of shooting her puppy were starting to fade

What’s going to be the impact of all these workers giving up their jobs in 10 months? Probably flood the labor market, reduce consumer spending, tank the economy.

 

This morning it was my turn to walk the dog. I took her to a nearby park with two hiking loops, which are about a mile total. Lots of folks bring their dogs here and although there are signs to keep your dog on leash, almost no one follows them. So, I let mine off whenever I go there. She enjoys being under the trees and sniffing. But, there are many squirrels and if she catches one moving, she’ll often take off running after it. Depending on how driven she is by the squirrels I might have to put her on leash so that she calms down and walks next to me. Today, there were a few other folks with their dogs, but none that my dog found appealing. Occasionally, when she meets a dog she likes, she’ll befriend them by doing zoomies in the field and getting the other dog to chase her. We finished our walk and went home.

A Fediverse Alternative to TikTok

In the last few months i really gotten into the whole Fediverse thing, but i noticed that, despite it being the most popular Social Media Platform, there isn't a TikTok alternative. I know there is Loops, but it's not open source or federated yet, so it's not really an option. Why is that?
