Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.
@SaltEMike It's super easy to dunk. Some people only offer dunking as their skill and criticism but otherwise they offer no other value. But when the chips are on the table it's never the dunkers who pull us through anything. You have become the consummate dunker. Enjoy your dunking.
Keep an eye out, folks. My org, @TheGardenOrg will be taking on the entire shard on Saturday. All are invited to try and break through our defenses.
More details below!
The federal government has finally acknowledged the practice of surveillance pricing, months after the NDP raised the alarm and sparked a national conversation about it.
But the bill doesn’t ban this disturbing practice - in fact, it doesn’t even mention it by name. Instead, it just promises vague regulatory action in the future.
In contrast, Wab Kinew’s NDP government in Manitoba is simply making the practice illegal. That’s the only way to stop big tech and big grocery chains from teaming up to gouge consumers.
We’ve put this issue on the table, and we’ll keep building public pressure on the government to act decisively: today’s bill does nothing definitive to protect Canadians from this very real threat.

On December 27, 1968, Apollo 8 needed to fire its engine to leave lunar orbit and return to Earth.
If the burn was wrong, the crew would never come home.
In Mission Control, a 25-year-old mathematician named Frances Northcutt, known as Poppy, had prepared the return-to-Earth calculations.
She was the first woman to work in Mission Control in a technical role.
When the burn data came back, something was off.
The numbers didn't match the expected trajectory.
She had 4 minutes to determine whether the deviation was within tolerance or whether Apollo 8 was in danger.
She ran the calculations by hand.
They were within tolerance.
She gave the go.
The crew came home.
She later went to law school and became a prominent civil rights attorney.
When asked about her time at NASA she said:
"We were just doing our jobs. Nobody thought it was unusual except the reporters."
The people who kept the astronauts alive were largely anonymous.
Most of them were young women with slide rules.
@SpaceySpiff Sometimes I sneak in a Pepsi zero when I wake up 5am and have been working for 5 hours so 10am arrives and I'm like damn, time for a drink. That's how I justify it anyway.
@SpaceTomatoGG Absolutely they are but that has been a UI bug as far as a week back when they did the first 4.8 (no .1) hotfix. Luckily it's just a UI bug and we don't have 60 shards with one player each.. Easy to tell when it gives you the shard name and use r_d = 3 for player count.
