"The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]" @rbreich

On Friday, I was informed by a collaborator and friend that postdocs on a probationary period at the United States Geological Survey Coastal Sciences Office in St. Pete to short, Florida, were fired on 30 minutes notice. They received an email that they were terminated and they had 30 minutes to cleat out their offices, download data, and leave. At that point they would no longer have access to their computers and their key cards would not work.

We are told that the $20 minimum wage is too much for workers to ask for, but Musk can ask for a $56 billion salary?
This is the equivalent of 1.4 million jobs that pay $20 per hour. He wants to get paid more than a million regular jobs. It's complete insanity that it's gotten this far, even if the judge blocks it.
As a time traveling Vulcan I know that Harris will win. How?
Here's a bumper sticker I found on a Deplorean (aka #CyberTruck) in 2027.
My point is that when #Harris wins next week, they won't stop lying.
#Musk & #Thiel have the money & MAGAts have the delusion to keep fighting over a lost cause.
The mocking of them MUST continue, so I renewed my subscription to Jen because she turns the horrible, bizarre & wacky news into funny, insightful cartoons. https://www.patreon.com/jensorensen
#NASA Administrator Bill #Nelson on Friday called for an investigation into a Wall Street Journal report that #SpaceX founder and Donald #Trump ally Elon #Musk and Russian President Vladimir #Putin have been in “regular contact” since late 2022.
The report raises national security concerns as SpaceX’s relationships with NASA and the #US military may have granted Musk access to sensitive government information and US intelligence.

Now would be a *really* good time for #Mastodon to make the photos forced into our timelines by the flashy new #PreviewCard either globally optional by user, or at least hideable on a post-by-post basis
How many time are we going to be forced to see #Musk's smirking face just because some web site we'll never visit is using it as click--bait

great piece by @parismarx
"Through #effectivealtruism, #longtermism, and #pronatalism, they’re trying to have us believe that they should remain in charge and we should let them set the course of our collective future. The idea is that since they’ve built large tech companies and accumulated sizeable bank balances that they’re best placed to set societal priorities. Yet nothing could be further from the truth — and more people are recognizing it."

Putting all humans in touch with each other without meaningful oversight or guardrails is observably short-sighted. I believe this has contributed to millions of deaths + serious atrocities, up to & including genocide. Now with #musk , leaving #twitter is a no brainer.
