U.S. President Donald Trump has fired all 24 members of the National Science Board, the body that oversees the National Science Foundation. Many science advocates see it as the latest step by his administration to erode—some would say destroy—the independence of the 76-year-old research agency. https://t.co/5LrByFdzHz
@AandGShow It’s impressive how much Trump has lowered the bar for pretty much everything.
Yet people will still stand to him.
Jesus was about taking the high road when you can bet Trump will always take the lowest path possible.
It’s funny how American “Christians” always cite the Old Testament to condone violence and ignore pretty much everything Jesus Christ thought.
Or well, now they apparently cite Pulp Fiction…
And now the waiting begins to hear back. Tomorrow, we will receive either a text or a phone call from the delivery team stating that they cannot change the pickup location and that we should call @LGUSSupport to change the work order. And everything starts over. LG=customer-hell
Oh boy, @LGUSSupport is the worst experience in my life. Delivered a broken product and now refuses to pick up the item at a new address because we moved in the meantime, while spending hours and hours on the phone with this intentionally Kafka-esque "Support" scheme every day.
Ok, this time it got escalated to the "leadership team" again, which will take care of everything. I did not, of course, as is common with other firms, receive a confirmation email, case number, or proof that something is happening. That is all by design. Waiting it out by design
@LGUSSupport Being put on hold yet again, so the guy can "escalate" just to either connect me to another person who needs to hear the same information again or with a 10% chance to say they can help me, send a text requesting some information that they ignore with the promise to call me back.
Don’t come to the U.S.! Not for business, not to invest, but most of all not for enjoyment. This is an asshole country.

@elonmusk The war ends when Putin is gone. It’s quite simple, isn’t it?
It’s funny how the law and order crowd doesn’t get it. The burglaries end when the criminals are in prison. Same principle.
@elonmusk@POTUS That’s selection bias. Mostly only people who like Trump watched it.
It’s like polling people who watch the NBA whether they like Basketball. Chances are most do.
@712jefferson@PeteButtigieg So that’s your binary logic?
If China invaded the US, it would be on us to roll over and give up?
Spoken like a true patriot.
Russia has done the same thing several times before, no one fought back and they still attacked Ukraine again.
There is peace when Putin stops the war!
@Mick_O_Keeffe Are you real?
That was during Putin’s first term when there was still hope Democracy could endure in Russia.
That was long before Putin’s aggressions and before he became a de facto dictator.
@JonahDispatch I guess in this day and age we have to be upset and critical of absolutely everything. There can’t be harmless enjoyment anymore. We all have to be miserable all the time. My wife and I enjoyed the show.
You once wrote about enjoying Dune…
