  1. RE: mastodon.hongkongers.net/@glca

    Oh yay, I haven't been keeping track of the #Artemis #space #sls program of late. First manned return to the #moon since #Apollo17. With a #Canadian, a woman and #poc.

    I wonder if #Trump will have speeches prepared for the various mission contingencies as #Nixon had: space.com/if-apollo-11-astrona

    Of course, if they leave with 3 and come back with FOUR #astronaut, then we should be concerned: xkcd.com/1484/

  2. Attempted #Drumpf & #RFKjr purge of #CDC workers initially fails due to clerical "coding" error.

    “The employees who received incorrect notifications were never separated from the agency and have all been notified that they are not subject to the reduction in force,” said Andrew #Nixon, director of communications for the US Department of #Health and Human Services. More than half of Center for #Disease Control staffers gleefully fired Friday by #GOP administration have been reinstated.

    “We figure they started this thing, so they should be #Democrat-oriented,” the President said, placing blame for his second #GovtShutdown firmlly on a minority #Democratic lawmakers. #DJT did not provide details on what qualified the affected dismissed workers as “Democrat-oriented.”

    Once the "coding error " on the dismissal notifications is figured out by the admin's "Christian nationalist" headchopper #RussVought, it is almost certain thousands of federal workers will again be re-fired

  4. Watching X-Files. See this poster on the wall.

    I look it up. According to multiple sources it’s an actual campaign slogan that was used during a Nixon election campaign.

  5. For some context, let's remember that #Strom #Thurmond so detested Abe Fortas on #SCOTUS, he screened #pornography on the Senate floor (since Fortas voted w/ majority to allow #pornographic films), calling it the #Fortas #Film #Festival. Fortas #resigned the following year, after a personal donor got arrested for stock fraud & #Nixon's AG threatened to #prosecute Fortas' wife for #tax evasion. He later argued cases before the #court! #impeach #clarence #thomas #now en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Fort
