    As #yanks don’t really care about children ie #guns, we will assume they won’t care about this. Our #fedgov sadly will react the same. I don’t remember being asked if I wanted a #war.

  5. Are you fucking kidding me??!!

    I thought this was some spoofed AI attempt at humor, but this is real, from the Dept. of Labor!! "Project Firewall"

    Here is the American Dream... Everyone is, of course, white in all of the imagery for this campaign, and here we see the happy white family sitting in church -- demure, begloved housewife sitting in her place, watching her bonneted little girl adoringly before going back home to tend to the housework and get her husband's pipe and slippers ready, no doubt.

    Apparently this actually is a real campaign - "Project Firewall." I knew that these backwards thinking nutcases wanted a return to the "traditional values" of the 50s -- rights for women and non-white men stamped out and medical technology pushed back 75 years by RFK Jr -- but I didn't know they LITERALLY wanted to go back to 1950s in all visible respects!

    I guess I'm surprised to be surprised.

  10. This ad is fucked up on so many levels.

    A HALO game screenshot calling illegal immigrants "the flood."

    First of all -- stay out of our games for your recruitment tactics. But, beyond that, The Flood (basically a zombie apocalypse in the game's story) can only be defeated by eliminating all that it consumes, namely humans, citizens, people.

    Creepy, offensive, and ill-conceived.

  11. This is nuts.

    NEW: A DOGE staffer appears to be posting DOGE work on his public GitHub, as of this week. The staffer, Jordan Wick, also created a repository for a Twitter DM-downloading tool just 3 days ago. He posted work on geospatial data in Jan—undersea cables, ports & “critical minerals.”

  12. NTSB forces reporters to get plane crash updates on X

    "Moving forward, the federal agency tasked with investigating transportation-related accidents and disasters said news organizations and reporters will have to follow the agency’s official account on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, where “all NTSB updates about news conferences or other investigative information” will be posted moving forward."

    If you're still on Twitter, you're making a statement about yourself.

  13. What exactly are Presidential Executive Orders (EOs)? EOs are in essence a form of "executive prerogative". Note that this phrase is no where to be found in the Constitution. As documented in the Library of Congress, Executive Orders:

    - are "directed to, and govern actions by, Government officials and agencies"

    - have the force of law if the topic of the Executive Order is "founded on the authority of the President derived from the Constitution or statute"

    - are required by law to be published in the Federal Register

    EOs cannot replace or contravene laws enacted by Congress, they can only 'fill in the gaps,'" see this piece by Susan Sullivan. gai.georgetown.edu/executive-o

    Unlike laws, EOs can be overturned by subsequent presidents. Courts have recognized EOs as having the force of law until superseded by legislation or unless they are clearly in conflict with existing law. EOs have been overturned by the courts in the past. #executiveorder #potus #FedGov #government #laws #congress #USA

  15. I love working on Election Day. I like working in the polling stations. I like helping people to vote. I think it is a great way to spend the day.

    So in QLD it has been the local and state elections and they are run by the #ECQ. It may all be chaotic but having a computer to mark people off provides a speedy process.

    The #ECQ run it. They register our details in their system and they pay us. All good.

    I’m moving to WA and the #AEC runs the elections.

    Why I don’t want to work for the #aec

    1. They use books not computers. Makes the days longer and harder.
    2. They use a private firm to take your details and pay you. So basically you are a subcontractor. I’m forced to give my private details to a private company.

    Maybe someone out there can tell me that this isn’t so but i’ve checked multiple times and i’m pretty sure it is.

    The federal government is a big out sourcing firm who doesn’t run anything particularly well. It didn’t used to be this bad. I worked for #DFAT when I graduated. Over time they have become a big tax wasting mess. Where giving our taxes to mates to do the job we should be paying bureaucrats to do. You may think the usual trope of bureaucrats waste money but it takes a private company to change millions into billions with the extra bonus of bad unaccountable service. #qantas

  17. The #Canadian federal government announces that they're pivoting to being "digital first" and "digital by design".

    The newly appointed Citizens' Services minister, Terry Beech pointed out that being digital first doesn't mean there won't be in-person services but people can get services completely online.
