Feel free to throw out any level of flex you want.

Trying not to think too hard about it. I'm waiting for the idiots at work to try and bring anything up, but they've been uncharacteristically quiet. At least around me. I'm pretty sure I'm the token liberal to these nitwits.

I'm serious about the mental health thing, though. I've had to develope a certain mind set to keep things from driving me nuts: incompetent supervisors and lazy coworkers. The unions really protect us, but the system most definitely gets abused and management is hamstrung to do anything about it i guess.

To me, work is a circus. People do stupid sit? I laugh and keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

Haha, i never served and this is just a job. It just happens to be one that i feel has some contribution to democracy and i try to hold on to that.

Thanks, though, if this isn't meant in jest.

Yeah, there's a lot a that here, too. But the way or post works is that no tax money goes to support it. It's fully supported by the customers that use it.

Even when the post office turns a profit, congress will take that money and/or downsize the labor force.

I work for the USPS. We took an oath to the constitution and it's very easy to understand why. The Postal Service is a necessary component of democracy as long as it remains true to what its supposed to be, which is a pipeline of information between any two points in the world. We can debate the legitimacy of that need after the internet, but there are vital services the USPS provides that the internet can't.

I don't like the direction things are going, but i still want to be a part of that. All i can do is make sure the mail I get is getting where it's supposed to be.

If you believe in what you do and that's important to you, then stick it out. If it's not, then that's fine, but you may want to get out for your mental health.

What the fuck follow up question is that? She makes a statement that there is something she doesn't like about Trump. Then she says nothing about why she didn't like Harris, and we are supposed to believed she weighed any two evils.

How about you ask why she didn't vote for for the other one.

That has been happening here (US) for decades. The real problem is the escalation of stupid shit that Republicans do is on an exponential growth trajectory.

I was trying to get Bing to draw a fractal image of an arm with a hand that has smaller arms instead of fingers, and so on. Didn't quite get it yet, but these are neat.

 

Students in their fourth year at Einstein, located in the Bronx in New York City, will be reimbursed for the spring 2024 semester, and beginning in August, tuition will be free "in perpetuity," the school said Monday.

With little warning, the American Museum of Natural History in New York abruptly closed almost 10,000 square feet of Native American exhibitions on Jan. 26. The reason? New regulations from the Biden administration to enforce a 1990 law known as the Native American Graves Repatriation Act.

Like most legislation, this law has a defensible idea at its core. Clearly, it is a sensitive matter if people display Native skeletons in museums, especially if they were dug out of their graves at a time when tribal rights of consent were not considered.

However, repeated whip-cracking by Biden-appointed officials at the Department of the Interior has made the situation so difficult that museums with almost any Native American artifacts are finding it impossible to maintain their displays without interference.

The law was originally intended to protect actual human remains from grave-robbing, but now it has been extended to include every sort of Native American artifact, including historical canoes and wampum belts.

And the damage goes far deeper than most people realize. According to the anthropologist Elizabeth Weiss of San Jose State University, the fervor for the reburial of Native bones means that skeletons thousands of years old, which bear no cultural or direct genetic relation to any modern tribe, are being removed from archaeology collections. This effectively removes them from the scientific record, making crucial studies about modern Natives’ ancient ancestors — for example, genetic testing to trace long-lost lineages or establish ancient tribal movements — impossible.

In this way, the Biden administration is erasing Native history.
