Sure. Why not.
All lines matter.
There was a techlord of Xitter
Who smiled as he rode on a tigger;
They returned from the ride
With the techlord inside,
And the smile on the face of the tigger.
Tigger, tigger burning bright, might be a leopard. Its frame: your face. Dreadful.
Ugh
He’s beyond simple. He thinks that people “seeking asylum” is the same as “insane asylum”.
So he hears “urban”, in his head that means “black” so he looks around, for a while, eventually finds a black person who at least vaguely aligns with his thought, and picks that guy.
He’s not a genius. He’s operating at brain-stem level of cleverness.
“Trump’s selection of Bessent, who is also openly gay, married, and has two children with his partner, is also a reminder of President Trump’s love and respect for LGBT Americans,” the conservative LGBTQ group Log Cabin Republicans said in a statement.
The Log Cabin Republicans are the most self-hating group on the planet. They were not just shut out of all of Trump’s and later GOP events but actively crusaded against…and now they’re finding this thing (and I bet Trump didn’t even know he was gay, just saw him on TV and went shopping like he does) as a ‘reminder of his love’?
Come on man. Have some self-respect.
Tether?
Imagine you have earned science, engineering and business degrees from MIT and Oxford. You are interested in climate and sustainability, and so you choose to work for government. at the U.S. International Finance Corporation, as the Director of Climate Diversification. You are paid $172,000 per year, which is not bad, but likely much less than you could earn in the private sector.
And then Elon Musk, whom President-elect Trump has tapped to run the Department of Government Efficiency, says that you have a fake job, boosting a tweet from an anonymous right-wing poster that says you should be fired.
You have never met Musk. He has no idea what your job entails or whether you are good at it. The most likely reason he decided your job has no value is that “diversification” is in your job title, and Musk is too lazy to figure out that “diversification” and “diversity” are different things.
Ashley Thomas, the government employee in question, does technical work on how to make agriculture more robust under conditions of extreme weather. This seems like pretty important, with a classic public goods justification — the government is trying to figure out and share solutions to a problem that affects lots of people, and for which the market is unlikely to generate a solution by itself. But of course none of this matters if you are fundamentally incurious about what government does, and absolutely sure that you know better. That combination of ignorance and certainty is generally a bad condition for democracies, but a disaster when it characterizes whose who govern us.
Raw milk recalled for containing bird flu virus, California reports
