This week on #VibeCheck, @zachstafford.bsky.social fully gagged me and @samsanders.bsky.social by saying “When you look at my resume, the question you should ask yourself is ‘what is he running away from?’” 😮

Also, we talk about the TikTok “ban” and the benefits of boredom.

But @AP the article repeatedly refers to loyalty you just mean support for Trump. Career civil service employees owe loyalty to the Constitution and to the interests of the United States. Please write headlines & text w/greater clarity so we’re not confusing terms.

Why Pigeons Make Bad Nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, there's a pigeon standing awkwardly next to a pile of sticks with two eggs on it, and the panel is titled "Why pigeons make bad nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics." In panel 2, a pigeon sits on a pile of sticks: "Many people think that pigeons are bad at making nests. Here are three good reasons why pigeon nests look bad." In panel 3, there's "Reason 1: Some birds, like orioles, nest in tree branches, so they weave elaborate structures that can withstand the elements..." And there's a female Baltimore Oriole weaving an elaborate hanging nest in a silver maple tree. In panel 4, "...but rock pigeons evolved to nest in crevices in cliffs, safely tucked away." And there's a pigeon sitting on a nest in a hole in a cliff. In panel 5, "Reason 2: People domesticated pigeons ages ago. Pigeons didn't need fancy nests because they had human-built homes." A beautiful dovecote shelters a flock of pigeons. In panel 6, "Reason 3: Less time making nest = more time eating seed." A pigeon pecks a seed near its nest, and says "It's called math."

Trump Is Poised to Turn the DOJ Into His Personal Law Firm
The question the Senate confirmation process must address is whether the department’s tradition of independence will be supplanted by a new value: loyalty.

Fact checking is not censorship.

It's an essential public service.

Disinformation kills. Period.
