Disabled. Old. Terminally grumpy. Kind. I'm basically the best parts of Capaldi's Doctor in a body that's falling apart. Still a white cat on the Internet. I love to learn new things. TTRPGs, comics, Hallmark movies, weird stuff. He / Him.

So DOGE can just shutdown and people will be satisfied?
No consequences for breaking into buildings, ransacking the government, stealing our data (selling it?), firing workers and causing millions of deaths across the world?

DOGE is dead- and - thanks to cutting USAID so are some 600,000 of the world’s poorest people- mostly children. Also about a thousand Americans have lost their jobs

DOGE isn't really dead, but it is injured. Part of the credit for that belongs to my former federal colleague Chuck Borges, rhymes with gorgeous.
Chuck blew the whistle on DOGE Social Security data theft and got fired for it. Now he's running for office! Check him out: @chuckborges.bsky.social

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.
New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.
But Trump has halted those efforts.

Holy. Shit. I only got to the leg part, but this is already the best thing I'll read today.
Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats:
1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).

Suicide can have many contributing factors. His family is speaking out about bullying and misgendering as two.
