Imagine all the poor organic chemists if they have to justify grants involving trans and cis molecules.
Fatty acid must be listed by the configuration of its creation!
All you have to do is lift up their electron shells and look between their bonds.
Looks like Little Marco isn’t onboard with Elmo’s antics.
At least one union is telling its members not to respond, either.
Even Kash Patel says not to respond.
My favorite suggested response to that “what did you do last week?” inquiry went something like—
I responded to a message from the mother of my children.
According to the latest news update I saw on CNN, that new director of the FBI, Kash Patel, said to hold off doing it, so no worries for now?
Looks like trouble brewing within “paradise”, one can hope, if he’s putting a stop to Musk’s decree.
Had GPT write an email listing the five dumbest things Musk did last week.
I then asked it to write it as an email to the HR department, in the first person.
I then asked it to write it in the voice of Jar Jar Binks.
I then asked it to revise Jar Jar so that he sounded like John Milton:
… and I sent this to the @gov email address I saw floating around in all those screenshots.
Everything Elon knows about management, he learned from watching Office Space.
“The Chainsaw of Dominion” feels oddly Shakespearian.
I would commit murder if it would get me transferred from Musks department to Lumberghs.
ETA: I would of course still hate it under Lumbergh.
I’m not convinced anything will be done with it. It may just be a petty tactic to intimidate and sow chaos.
His “fork in the road” scam failed to get any significant number of people to quit their jobs and got laughed out of court. This is his new attempt at the same thing.
As others have pointed out imagine if musk had to give his update:
- Morning spent on social media
- Brought child to work
- Ran around with a chainsaw
- More social media
- Etc
Eh it would probably be fine as long as he includes a “Heil Trump”
"I spent most of my week responding to inane requests from DOGE.
Perhaps we could be more efficient if we eliminated DOGE?"
I got an email from the HHS news server this morning saying that it was a legitimate request and we should comply, followed an hour later by an email from the director of NIH saying don’t respond until his office sends further guidance.
Fun times.
Yes, no one that’s not a federal employee should respond to this by e-mailing a list of 5 things to HR@opm.gov
It would be a shame if that e-mail address was flooded with snarky responses.
On a completely unrelated note, there is a site called trash-mail dot com that makes it easy to send e-mails that you may not want to send from your own e-mail address.
The site will prompt you to create an account, but you can ignore it and send an e-mail without registering. I definitely did not send an e- mail using the name Betty Phuckzer.
Done. That was fun actually.
DoD says to ignore the email.
Someone found a screencap from CPAC where Elmo briefly lowered his glasses and you can see how absolutely bloodshot his eyes were.
He’s hepped up on goofballs.
George Conway, at one point early on a clerk to a federal judge (and therefore a federal employee for at least a while), submitted his own list:
I do love @JohnT 's effort, too.
But:
So I guess these will all be as fleeting fragrance hanging momentarily upon the desert air.
I do love that Trump’s installed Cabinet goons are so territorial that they’re willing to push back against Elon. I can’t claim to be optimistic that they can do much more than tussle with him publicly, but at least it’s better than quiet acquiescence.
Do we need a new thread entitled Now that Elon Musk has bought the US Government, or just rename this one?
