After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in.
Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then.

It's Monday. @DOGE is the laziest, most overpaid bunch of incompetent, unelected bureaucrats we've ever seen.

I am retiring from teaching GR. Here is the final course material (lecture notes including all problem sets and exams). Hope some students might find it useful in their studies. tinyurl.com/5n786bkn
[Thanks to @gimmytomas for his amazing help in making the exam questions.]

Itβs incredibly striking how his entire aesthetic is βterrible 80s action sci-fiβ isnβt it? You keep expecting a young Schwarzenegger to step out of one of his vehicles and make a terrible pun. He would probably think that the greatest compliment known to man.
(It is not)

Why do you think Trump talked about Wind Farms and Windmills for years? B/c he Scottish Government fined him close to $300,000 for failing to provide evidence that windmills are harmful. Trump wanted the windmills removed b/c it provided bad view from his golf course.

The 2024 Noble Prize in physics has been awarded to Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie for the Barbenheimer effect. This phenomenon, involving the superposition of two very attractive people, allows physics to become interesting, a state which is otherwise spin-forbidden.

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, and paid holiday and sick leave.
It would make them tens of billions a year.
But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

In 2017, I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trumpβs racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaireβElon Muskβstole my land and dumped his shit all over it. @ElonMusk owes me $100. #ElonOwesMe100Bucks ElonOwesYou100Dollars.com

There are so many iconic photos around this time.
Atlantis (STS-125 - HSM) and Endeavour (STS-400 Launch On Need Rescue). A one-off requirement due to the lack of safe haven during the one post-RTF mission (Atlantis not going to the ISS).

Thankfully, it was not required as STS-125 was a full success.

This week in 2008, two space shuttles stood ready for launch. To the left is space shuttle Atlantis and the right space shuttle Endeavour. Atlantis launched the STS-125 mission to repair @NASAHubble, while Endeavour later launched to @Space_Station.

At long last, the Polaris Dawn spacewalk has been accomplished. Now I can study the videos from the spacewalk (and also from some promo material) to learn more about the design and functionality of SpaceX's new EVA suit! In this thread I will share my findings..
