Oh look, a conflagration between two nuclear armed states has begun. This year just keeps getting better and better.

Yey! #Skype is finally dead! I hate you. No one will miss you.

But I also hate Microsoft Teams and Zoom. When? 20 more years of life?

Former leaders of the national weather service have warned that DOGE laying off workers who’re responsible for detecting and issuing warnings about floods, tornadoes and hurricanes will lead to deaths.
