I refuse to be lectured on how to properly react to anyone's death by members of a party who willingly accept the death of women as the "price" paid to ban abortion care or the death of children as the "price" paid to allow the gun industry to sell weapons of war to almost anyone

Delighted to say that my new book of words is out today, in which I explain how ‘sneeze’ was born from a mistake, that ‘window’ is a Viking leftover meaning ‘eye of the wind’, and that the Finns really do have a word for drinking alone in your underwear.

This is a very good and useful news story. It reports on DOGE’s understanding that people hate them and what they’re planning to fix it.
It notes, in detail, that what they say they are doing (streamline/improving gov’t tech) was already being done by 18F, a gov agency they blithely destroyed.
