The amount of power that Trump has handed to an illegal immigrant from Africa with a weird name who wants to round up Christians in concentration camps and who openly brags about his project to pollute the American gene pool with his supra-dominionist enumerations of anchor babies must be the greatest single feat of psychological projection in the history of mankind, recapitulating his Birtherism nearly two decades later during a second term of intermittent public office.

Another of Trump's dodgy gangs of muskovites has seized control of the federal government's payments system, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service.
Along with the human resources department (OPM), the property manager (GSA), the on-site software team spun out of the effort to salvage healthcare.gov that has since solved a very boring list of intractable bureaucratic problems (USDS), that gives Musk and his co-president an essentially unlimited capacity for corruption.

"December brought notable temperature swings in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, federal weather logs show. Temperatures near La Crosse, Wisconsin, went from a high of 56 degrees to -6 degrees a week later, then up to 34 degrees before dropping to a low of -12 degrees the following week. The kind of up-and-down conditions that create thin and dangerous ice conditions."

What people -- for whom English is a third language after Kalaallisut and Dansk -- wouldn't want to accept the invitation to become subjects of an Anglo settler colonial state whose emperor has been obsessed with your homeland yet refuses to learn the first thing about your history?
I suppose you can't expect Trump to attempt a charm offensive when he has the option to just be offensive.

Trump's OPM general counsel is a big fanboy of Nazi legal architect Carl Schmitt.

Trump OPM general counsel Kloster has really inflected his Catholicism with a distinct brand of misogynistic anti-semitism.
And embarrassingly uncultured. Asia Argento comes from a long line of deeply Catholic Italian and ítalo-brasileiro film makers. Pointing to her as self-evident proof of Jews using Hollywood to corrupt Western masculinity is generally offensive to the broader concept of human intelligence.

When AOC runs for President and the press starts heckling about the unicorns that live down candy cane lane I guess we're supposed to remember that they will only provide sanewashing coverage of her campaign if the Berniebros' death threats are credible.

34% of African Americans report DEI programs having a positive impact on them personally, which perhaps speaks to how many Americans are casually racist idiots who stand to benefit from condescending training videos from central casting about how it is impolite to dehumanize your co-workers.

Have a little golfer's elbow I think is probably due to the narrow a grip on this door jamb pull-up bar but then discovered that there is not only a website for e-sports medicine but that people can apparently earn their golfer's elbow from the triggers on their gamepads, so now I can also blame the learning curve of Sifu.
Either way the cheapest way to fix your typical case of epicondylosis is a five gallon bucket of dry beans. Time for a trip to costco.

"DeepSeek says R1 is near or better than rival models in several leading benchmarks such as AIME 2024 for mathematical tasks"
Maybe they figured out how to get the model to recognize a math problem and ask a calculator for the answer instead of pretending you can solve arithmetic with educated guesses.
