  1. If I were one of Elon's DOGE underlings, I believe I'd be updating my resume in the coming days.
  2. Bondi might be collateral damage. Which is glorious.
  3. I've spent nearly 2 hours cleaning up from a phishing email an employee responded to (and mass sent out around 1000 emails to lots of other folks) and my wife texts me about the lovers quarrel. I'm going on vacation for the next 2 weeks beginning at 3 pm today. This thread is an outstanding way to finish my work for the day.
  4. Many, many years ago, when I was in college, I ran the municipal swimming pool in our fair town for 3 summers. Now, by "ran" I had zero to do with lifeguards, concessions, whatnot. I was the ugly kid who was given the task of making sure the PH levels were fine, that the ratio of piss to water was satisfactory, switch over the chemical tanks when they ran low, visit with the health department when they came out periodically to test the water etc. The pool held 1.2 million gallons. It would easily lose on average around 20,000 gallons per day from evaporation, people splashing water out, cracks in the bottom of the pool, people getting out of the pool and having water drain off of them, etc. The pool had two 4 inch faucets that were used to fill the pool; we would open up one of them partially to top off the pool after it closed for the day. My last summer there, they hired a company that came in before hours, put on scuba equipment, and were to "seal" the cracks in the pool with some special caulking that was supposed to cut the water losses in half, but after they were done, we still were losing around 20K per day.
  5. DOGE was supposed to find a few trillion in waste, which would be offset with whatever was in this bill. That didn't happen, obviously. Of course, the real reason for DOGE, from Elon's perspective, was data mining to the nth degree. And reward himself with lucrative government contracts.
  6. Where the grifters start to step on each other's toes in an attempt to grift even more. And there's no doubt at all that Trump even has a clue about what is going on.
  7. And be sure to unmute it.
  8. I'm guessing there is at least a 98% certainty that the authors of this proposed legislation have seen some (or all) of these photos and concluded that by God, they were going to do something about this:
  9. The Onion couldn't put out a better headline than this

  11. Great article https://www.vulture.com/article/matt-wolf-pee-wee-herman-as-himself-documentary-paul-reubens.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=s1&utm_campaign=nym Pee-wee and Me The film I made about my childhood hero was four years in the making, and it almost broke me.
  12. RFK is on it:
  13. Want to feel some nostalgia? Presenting WeatherStar 4000. Maybe this has been posted here before, but I couldn't find it. He even has the music down. You can run it in kiosk mode. https://weatherstar.netbymatt.com/ And here's his GitHub https://github.com/netbymatt/ws4kp
