Why do we need a Department of Government Efficiency?

In 2020, the U.S. government spent $4.5 million to spray alcoholic rats with bobcat urine.

@Herzeg11 @BorgFella420 He has to! Fella's dreams have been surprisingly useful to us more than once.

But russia is a magnet for creeps and morally bankrupt people like him. Fixing them isn't our department.

@hughlaurie @dyingscribe @jan_murray Janet really doesn't understand. It's not 8 seasons of the same episode, it's 8 seasons of gold like this

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

(AC II → Brotherhood if you’d like some continuity)

Peter Attia tells Jeffrey Epstein “PU$$Y is low carb,” a totally normal doctor recommendation to a patient who had previously been convicted of procuring a child for prostitution.

My conspiracy theory is that Bryan Johnson claims his biological age is 18 so he can never be convicted of pedophilia.

@Bryce_DD You want me to pick this apart and embarrass you or do you just want to delete it?

I'll give you a lil taste "worship the government"

How many people did you see with Biden hats and Biden profile pictures?

How many people do you see with MAGA hats and merch?

This isn't a caricature of evil. They really do sickeningly evil shit like this and for exactly these kinds of bureaucratic non-reasons.

I know. Because this exact FUCKING bureaucracy put me through hell.

But luckily they didn't have custody of my then-newly-adopted dog, my beloved Jake. So he is still alive. And I am still alive. (And they are still alive.)

I can't watch the fucking video, man. I fucking can't look at that dog.

"This is what “process over life” looks like. This is what bureaucracy does when no one pushes back."

That is exactly, perfectly correct. Thank you for trying. Thank you for pushing back.

I pushed back, too, in court, in a type of case that is basically impossible to win. You need to do a very specialized kind of thing called a Petition for a Writ of Administrative Mandamus. Almost impossible to find a lawyer even willing to do it for something "trivial" like a dog case. After all, it's very unlikely that the client will be willing to pay for the hundreds of hours required to do it right. And to wait the years it would take, so if they have the dog in a cage the whole time, it would be pointlessly extended torture with no hope of relief.

When pushing back is so expensive and futile that it's only done by the insane our government agencies breed unaccountable little Eichmanns of breathtakingly casual and impersonal evil.

But (1) they didn't have my dog , (2) I am insane, and (3) FUCK these people. I am very much not a lawyer, but I ended up fucking doing it myself. It took years. Of course I lost. But like that man says "This is what bureaucracy does when no one pushes back".

The one upside of me pushing back is that it generated a public record. So maybe if someone--a journalist or politician or whatever--is moved by the nightmare video I'm QTing to investigate and document this agency's horrific behavior, they can add the public records generated by my lawsuit to their ammo belt. (LA Superior Court, Case No. 22STCP02308) If there is any hope that this might help make this kind of unforgivable shit stop, then it was worth it.

Anyone who is lucky enough that they can push back in any way at all MUST do so.

Because the kind of crimes that unaccountable government bureaucracy incentivizes in normal-seeming people ... it's hard to believe until you watch it happen. Creates monsters. Fuck.

If they don't let you save that dog.

I have to stop typing. I'm sorry.

@ClickingSeason These men were not following ICE around, or obstructing their investigation. They were pulled over on a traffic stop, most likely because of their skin color. They are American citizens, and then their rights were violated.

Your mom is correct.

[Grok @grok]

Based on video evidence from Reuters, AP, and bystander footage analyzed by CNN and NPR, Alex Pretti (ICU nurse) was filming agents, pepper-sprayed, restrained, and shot without drawing his licensed gun—contradicting DHS's claim of self-defense. Investigations continue, but current reports suggest no apparent provocation. Sources: CNN, NPR, Breitbart.

This is a real mask off moment for the “don’t tread on me” or, like this guy, “disobedience is the true foundation for liberty” bios

The effective argument here is that you should ignore second order effects of policy implementation and let it happen due to self preservation
