Day 21 - Labs still dark. I’m still working. I’m still missing my paycheck.

Can we PLEASE declare a moratorium on ‘thumbs up’ poses for pictures?

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

A Colorado restaurant is helping out furloughed government workers! The special runs from October 6-10th, 11 AM through 2 PM. Furloughed workers get a free sandwich with a side or salad with a protein, plus one free beverage (including beer and wine!).

Came into the empty laboratories today to maintain critical equipment. The fact that so much important science is on indefinite hold leaves me a bit empty too.

Can’t wait! I never partook in the first run of MN.

Ready for Mischief Night? I didn’t even do it one single time during its first run years ago.

That event needs to pop more often. I hardly ever see it.

The Trump administration’s cancellation of over $550 million in Federal funds for energy projects across Colorado — including critical programs at Colorado State University in Fort Collins — is UNLAWFUL.

We will use every legal and legislative tool to reverse it.

Trump administration slashes $550 million in Colorado clean energy grants. Democrats call it revenge.

Mostly blue states, like Colorado, are losing $7.5 billion in federal clean energy grants. Democrats say it is an act of political revenge.

How have I never noticed Pam Bondi’s Vulcan ears? Her and Marco Rubio would turn out some pretty funky kids, wouldn’t they?

Incoming data point from my wife, bread has gone up 50 cents per loaf. Name an increase you’ve seen.

Yeah, we don’t want any fat general (schedules) to be roaming the halls of federal buildings.

Grateful for the opportunity to visit with the hardworking folks at NOAA in Boulder & drop off some breakfast items.

As we grapple with the Republican-initiated government shutdown, I hope you’ll join me in thanking & supporting the Federal workers being impacted — we owe them a debt of gratitude!

… and NOT just MY future.

Ted @tekee.bsky.social · 19d

Beginning the first full day of furlough. I already feel out of sorts. I should be reading email and laying out my work load. I should be planning ahead to keep experiments running at the lab. I should be checking supplies in the 3D print prototyping lab. Instead, I’m left to worry about the future.

On a military training field, I’d put my money on any female or transgender soldier up against Petey any day of the week!

OpSec tells you not to put that many generals together but TripleSec tells you to ignore OpSec.

Reminder. Congress gets paid during a shutdown. Fed workers do not.

On top of that, feds deemed essential must continue working while not getting paid.

Refusal to work could easily lead to termination.

Make sure to find a way to helps feds who will be impacted by losing pay. Not all make big $$

A dog and a cat are having drinks in a bar. The dog is saying, "I ran really fast, turned around, and realized it was a fake throw. I felt like SUCH an idiot." The cat looks unimpressed and is saying "That's cute. Let me tell you about the little red dot."
