DOGE is not really gone, it’s just been made standard operating procedure now. Please stop celebrating DOGE ‘ending’ as a ‘win.’ It’s not. Their cuts have already killed 600,000 people. Elon stole all your data. Don’t fall for the clickbait.

New horrors and attacks on science daily. I guess that’s what you do when you have so much free time, since you aren’t doing any actual science or even any reading (or thinking).
Guy whose family forced a lobotomy onto his aunt wants medieval medicine for all.
In fact, forget lobotomies for some, let’s bring back trepanation for all!

Exactly 👍- I think this is how artistic and creative person feels about AI. It seems to be taking all the good parts.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.
