I am a total nerd. I love DnD, video games, knitting, fountain pens, and many other nerdy things. I also occasionally launch rockets.

So I got this email
1. It its absolutely as unhinged as you think it would be
2. It is very clearly Elon's doing because it talks about this in the same terms as his downsizing of twitter where it implies that anyone who stays on is hardcore and anyone who says no is a pansy woke liberal

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.
Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

Assuming this is true, it is scary. Posted by someone in OPM about what is going on and the weird test emails.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

OPM's email is sketchy as hell. Comes from outside the organization, only contains a link, unsigned, demands a response....this is like anti-phishing 101 to just delete it.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Went to check on the data volume for a project I work on, and found it to be 160GB when I was expecting ~1.5Tb. Nearly panicked before realizing those are the same number and I shouldn't do bit -> byte math before coffee.
