Good Afternoon. “Microsoft Outlook” was a 30 year sociological study conducted by the University of East Anglia. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.
"I know this global outage is effecting everyone, but is there anything you can do to get it to work just for me?" every Helpdesk ticket today
So now that Microsoft is back we're just going to go back to sending e-mails like nothing happened? We aren't even given a moment to grieve?
“Microsoft has openly admitted what many have long known: under laws like the Cloud Act, US authorities can compel access to data held by American cloud providers, regardless of where that data physically resides.” #Microsoft #DataPrivacy #GDPR

Partially effective bc it forces the Rs to triple down on the clown show and remind everyone why they lost so bad in the midterms. January is right around the corner. And Massie needed to get this off his chest before he bounces. But also... WHERE ARE THESE 11 DEMS?!! Were they that busy?
Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · 3d agoHegseth impeachment is dead, 211 to 204. Only Massie crosses party line. 7 Republicans and 11 Democrats not voting.
it’s so cool that you can be in congress and just not show up to work. uhh sorry boss 👍 didn’t feel like going in today
Elizabeth Spiers@espiers.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is what I mean by holding our electeds accountable. Who were these 11 Dems and why couldn’t they get to DC?
Ask any random person who worked for the government or a large corporation and had their internal IT department outsourced to a big IT firm like IBM about their satisfaction with the change. My guess is that you encounter a huge amount of dissatisfaction and horror stories of projects gone sideways.

Robert Garcia's speech on what he will be focusing on an head of the oversight committe needs to bottled and sold as a aphrodisiac
One of the worst things about this is, what it says about the senior military folks who WERE promoted, or who stayed and said nothing while this was going on…
Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social · 4d agoInfuriating & detailed report on how Hegseth overrode DoD’s merit-based promotions process to shackle women & non-white officers. www.ms.now/news/pete-he...
that woman who opened the trump presser by asking how long he'd take to knock out Biden in a cage match should be frogmarched from the building and told that in case she's thinking of coming back they have snipers there
Oh hey Democrats won an election so it's time to care about the national debt again.

I read that tighter clothes are a marker or leaner times (less fabic); but with some guys' pants, it feels more like a normalization of the surveillance state.

many of us did say when he was elected - like, kind of facetiously and kind of not - that Leo would be the first Pope in history who's ever seen what happens when a loved one with cancer gets slapped with a US hospital bill he knows his healthcare access as Pope is different from, like, his brother

Okay, so, Robert Garcia from Long Beach is going to lead the House Oversight Committee, right. I had to make an exception to the “no posting screenshots from X” rule because when I tell you this man has spoken to my bitchy Xennial soul…
One of the things El-Sayed said that I think is absolutely right is that you need hundreds of little targeted bills like the “Stop Crap in Lettuce” bill and force Trump to veto them. So that people understand what exactly is happening as it happens.
Conor P. Williams@conorpwilliams.bsky.social · last wk.Been thinking about this—substance matters but maybe the perceived momentum matters even more. Like, whether you lean more towards accountability or oversight or ___, the goal should be endless activity. Show the country that this Congress is On The Case(s). Democrats are the Do-Something Party.

House Judiciary Dems@democrats-judiciary.house.gov · last wk.It’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.
Thank you to everyone posting about Brian & Wendy Froud's new book, containing 72 new paintings with literary responses by 37 women writers of diverse backgrounds, landscapes & mythic traditions. Having worked on the project for the last two years, we've all been moved by the enthusiastic response.
on the one hand i think putting miller in the driver's seat puts all of us in genuine danger. on the other hand, if you want a path to 60+ senate seats in 2029, this is it.
