Ugh this just reminded me that I ran into this exact issue a couple years ago. We were running jobs every hour to ingest data from an API into our data warehouse. Eventually we got reports from users about having gaps in our data. We dug into it for days trying to find a pattern, but couldn't pinpoint anything. We were just missing random pieces of data, but our jobs never reported any failures.

Eventually we were able to determine the issue. HTTP 200 with "error: true" in the response. Fml

Oddly enough, that's actually still way more efficient than driving an ICE vehicle.

Lol I know, I was just thinking of Vance's "have you even said 'thank you'?"

I don't want to come across as if I'm defending this, because I absolutely don't agree with anything these shit heads are doing. But to answer your question, getting rid of the Department of Education doesn't mean getting rid of public schools (at least not immediately).

Most of those are funded and run by local governments. So they won't just be closing because there's no Dept of Education.

However, this move will ultimately heavily affect public schools in the long run. Conservatives seem to hate the idea of separation of church and state - so they've been pushing forever to allow religion in schools. The only way they can do this right now is through private religious schools. Their problem is that private schools are privately funded.

Their ultimate goal is to be able to take taxpayer money away from public schools and move it to private schools. Ultimately, this will decimate many public schools.

“I think he says at the end of ’26, he’s gonna start making tons of robots, ’27 and ’28, he thinks 2028 you and I are each gonna have five robots each. They’re gonna mow our lawn and they’re gonna make us coffee and they’re gonna make our bed…and they’re gonna fix our bathroom and renovate our bathrooms — I’m telling you we are gonna have very nice bathrooms!”

Wtf is this man smoking?

It's pretty obvious what he's doing, but the media absolutely cannot help themselves in amplifying everything he says. And you can't really blame them. When a president says he's going to overturn pardons issued by past presidents, you have to report that as major news. Even if he says it and isn't serious or is just trying to keep the spotlight on him and away from something else.

"He wants you back," he screamed into the night air like a fireman going to a window that has no fire

... except the passion of his heart.

I am lonely.

It's really hard.

Update from this post yesterday: https://sh.itjust.works/post/34622756

Trumper has since scrubbed her Facebook page of all things political, including pictures of her husband in a MAGA hat. She is now claiming to never have made political posts.

Transcript:

I'm posting this not to start a debate over politics but just for a generalized statement so please do not come at me or try to start a debate. I do not nor have I ever talked politics for the sheer reason that everyone has an opinion and is absolutely entitled to that opinion; that's why we vote and I am not about to go at it with someone because our beliefs arent the same. I have recently had too many people flooding my text messages or DMs forcing their opinion. I even had one friend end our friendship because I politely stated I do not talk politics and I was not going that rabbit hole with her.

The fact of the matter is like it or not the president is who it is. I have worked for the federal government for 15 years and it is a scary thing right now. [Redacted] also military and we don't know what our jobs will look like in the future. We're rolling with things as they come out and will adjust as needed but a lot of things I receive or read from a lot of posts have somewhat taken me by surprise and do not wish to be apart of it.

 

I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a federal worker.

Right now I'm working on my resume. I'm open to work, preferably in finance as I have my accounting degree. If you know of anyone hiring please let me know.

As I have mentioned before, please do not post your political beliefs as I am not interested in debates or opinions. During this time, please remember that government employees are workers at risk of losing their job. It's scary as most of us have dedicated our careers to government and government operations is all that most of us know and now will be forced to look outside for other options and start over. No matter which side everyone is one, no one wants to lose their job so please be mindful of this. Remember that government employees are humans too and it is a very scary time for most of us and our families.

Nineteen Republican attorneys general have called on Costco Wholesale to abandon its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, citing concerns about about discrimination and legal risks

This comes after 98% of the U.S. retailer's shareholders last week voted against a proposal requesting a report on the risks tied to its diversity and inclusion initiatives, pushing back against the growing scrutiny such policies face.
