PSA: Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr., so Scientific American published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new administration.

Apparently the Office of the Director (OD) at #NSF didn't even know about this until last night. Then today we had an event at the building where they announced that #HUD will move into our building, and that NSF will be ousted over time with no known relocation destination yet.

The announcement was not well received at NSF today as you can see in this video. They had to move the governor and HUD Secretary to another, closed door location to make the announcement.

Jan. 2025: According to nearly a dozen retired officers and current military lawyers, as well as scholars who teach at West Point and Annapolis, an intense if quiet debate is underway inside the U.S. military community about what orders it would be obliged to obey if President-elect Donald Trump decides to follow through on his previous warnings that he might deploy troops against what he deems domestic threats, including political enemies, dissenters and immigrants.

Nope. Nothing I might add could improve this headline.

Somewhere Barbara Streisand can heave a huge sigh of relief. It will henceforth be known as "the Vance effect."

Fun fact: @irene’s Miata gets a discount on the ferry because it is smol.
It’s still kinda crazy to me that I can just *put my car on a boat* and this is a normal means of transportation in the PNW.

I know I asked this a while back, but I'm stubbornly going to keep at it.

There are more than a few entities on fedi that are into standing up old phone networks, ranging from military field comms, business PBXes, even homelab ESS implementations.

But I can't find a dedicated hashtag for the life of me, so I'm going to pick one and run with it.

#OtherNetworks is a great catch-all for the more esoteric, #RetroLab is broad but you get the idea, and #HomeLab is *really* broad.

#Boost maybe? ❤️

STOCK ANALYSTS: Ignore Musk’s behavior, geniuses are just eccentric sometimes, it’s OK, his repeated failures will soon give way to 10000x growth

MUSK: After listening to Ace of Base on repeat for 72 hours straight while huffing jet fuel, I now understand that I am destined to merge with the AI resurrection of Hitler to become Machine Jesus who saves the white race after 1000 years of continuous stock market crashes, which are of course necessary and a good idea. Libturds have hidden this truth from your mind
