  1. Private school teachers are not having sex with students? Yeah, that doesn’t track from my private school experience. Teachers lap clergy on interaction with children, I think we can agree.
  2. CDC is now barred from releasing public health information. Good thing there isn’t any threat from Black Death. Oh, wait. ”A tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in Kansas City has become the largest documented TB outbreak on record in the United States. Data on the outbreak from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) show that 67 active TB cases and 79 latent cases have been reported since the beginning of 2024 in Wyandotte and Johnson counties, which are part of the greater Kansas City area. Most of the cases have been in Wyandotte County. KDHE says it has been working with local health departments in response to the outbreak and is following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure patients are receiving proper treatment.” https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/tuberculosis/kansas-tuberculosis-outbreak-now-largest-us https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/hhs-memo-cdc-report-communications-trump-team-rcna188733
  3. I have a Japanese acquaintance who is envious of US innovation and creativity. He claims his society is quick to let outside the box thinkers know the expected way things get done.
  4. Mediabiasfactcheck says this about PlanetCritical: ”Overall, we rate Planet: Critical as Far Left-Biased due to its focus on progressive issues and critiques of systemic structures. We rate its reporting as Mixed, acknowledging that while the information is generally accurate and well-researched, there are instances of unverified claims and one-sided reporting.” Could be better.
  5. If the “bullet ballot” info is correct, then that is compelling evidence.
  6. Leader of the Coast Guard. Three hours to vacate her house. Cruelty is the point. “President Donald Trump's administration evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her home with three hours of notice on Tuesday — not even enough time to gather her personal effects — according to two people familiar with the incident. Fagan, a four-star admiral and the first woman to lead a branch of the military, was removed from her post as the Coast Guard’s top officer on Trump’s second day in office. Officials at the Homeland Security Department — which oversees the Coast Guard — cited border security issues and an “excessive focus” ondiversity, equity and inclusion among the reasons for her dismissal.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-administration-evicts-former-coast-guard-linda-fagan-3-hours-rcna190820
  7. Stonekettle: ”Trump on immigrants: Put them in camps at Gitmo! Trump on crime: Put them in camps in El Salvador! Trump on the homeless: Put them in camps outside the cities! Trump on Gaza: Put them in camps in foreign countries! I don't dunno, but there seems to be a common theme to all these final solutions.”
  8. No kids, huh?
  9. Ah, you could manage a lil smokie. You can do it!
  10. Smart people are smart. Nice.
  11. They never said any of those things. They did not issue invitations to speak at the DNC, yes. But, not the same thing. I forget, did those groups speak at the RNC? But, perhaps you can show proof (facts) those statements were uttered?
  12. Eldest is doing microbiological research at UT Health in SA. Federal funds have been cut. UT stepped up and filled in the gap. She is concerned about the future of her doctoral studies.
  13. Why’d you make me hit you?
  14. I never saw this, but there can never be enough pointing and mocking laughter directed at this hateful cunt. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAYvpxLRJhw/?igsh=MWdvc3c5OXlvdWkzbA%3D%3D
  15. Of course. With respect, I suppose I am curious where you believe a person can best escape the finding out part of this fucking around.
  16. Torching all leases for federal offices. ”One of the next moves in President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s sweeping effort to fire government employees and curtail operations is using the agency that manages thousands of federal employee worksites around the country to cut down on office space. Last week, regional managers for the General Services Administration, or GSA, received a message from the agency’s Washington headquarters to begin terminating leases on all of the roughly 7,500 federal offices nationwide, according to an email shared with The Associated Press by a GSA employee.” https://apnews.com/article/trump-musk-gsa-terminate-office-leases-f8faac5e2038722f705587c8dd21ab26?user_email=dabc81d5ec766cfb0c88230c077bd88afdc57894c6b8dcdfcf8102146e6ce9b3# I presume there is a financial penalty to violating lease terms. And, as skunk said, the government will have to reinstate that which was cut stupidly, which will incur additional cost, so, how much money do they think they are saving? Flood the lowlands! Leave no water for crops!
  17. Here’s the memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge of agents who did their jobs.
  18. If the US economy crumbles, where in the world would one go to avoid the fallout?
  19. You’re not a rule of law kind of person, it seems. Because, I expect the government to follow the law. I also now expect thousands of folks to lose their job, and millions to owe additional fees for being late on payments. Further, I expect lower courts to reject these goings on and for the executive branch to largely ignore the judiciary; when this ends up at SCOTUS, I expect pure Calvinball.
  20. The Texas Tribune has a report on uncapped oil wells, and the story probably belongs in the climate thread, but the report focuses on the paltry amount of money designated to address the problem and how none of the money has been spent. Uncapped oil wells are a serious problem. For instance, one well just upped and created a brackish, 60 acre lake, which is emitting hydrogen sulfide, among other toxic substances. Texas is not a serious state. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/02/04/texas-leaking-abandoned-oil-water-wells-tceq-railroad-commission/
