You don’t necessarily get manicures or pedicures for appearances; they’re relaxing, they work on your rough skin, strengthen your nails potentially, etc

Even for my printer, which is legit great overall, the driver vibe has for several OS upgrades been “if you want a printer with drivers that allow you to use all of its features, buy a new one”

Pitch: a reboot of Fringe set today, where they have to figure out how to write a parallel universe that is realistic and also somehow legibly more dystopian than this one

CISA has basically been a basket case since Krebs (a conservative Republican) was fired for being correct in a way that Trump disliked, but it was still better to have it than not

DHS spox just confirmed that RIFs are happening at CISA (the cybersecurity agency).

"RIFs will be occurring at CISA. During the last administration CISA was focused on censorship, branding and electioneering. This is part of getting CISA back on mission."

Russ Vought just said that firings have begun. OMB called them "substantial."

Our initial story is below — but we're very short on the details. Please reach out if you hear anything, I'm on Signal at annakramer.54

I was gonna say, my Brother HL2270DW disagrees that you can’t make a functional and robust printer — it’s just B&W and very low-feature

Still from the Futurama episode “The Late Philip J Fry” of Fry walking along an orange horizon with a vast barren desert in front of him. In this episode three characters get stuck going forward through time, and at one point end up so far in the future that Earth is dead.

Nothing makes me feel more ancient than the extent to which things are being marketed at nostalgia for my teen years specifically

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

Russ Vought v @russvought

I absolutely do not believe in the Antichrist in the sense someone like Thiel means it (or at all), but if you take it seriously, I have no idea how you draw the conclusion that it’s anyone other than Trump
