This is what the underground stations look like - not sure how you would do floor to ceiling in their case

Again this morning. This bus is supposed to run every 10 minutes, instead you have a 20+ minute gap and then back to back buses

These numbers, lordt

Nearly 7,600 federal HR managers in the 0201 job series have separated from their positions, either voluntarily or involuntarily, since January 2025. Just 928 employees were hired into a federal HR management role in that same time.

Contracting roles in the 1102 job series have faced the separation of more than 6,700 federal employees since January 2025, while agencies made just over 1,100 new hires.

And close to 20,200 federal employees left jobs in the tech fields OPM is now highlighting for early-career job candidates. The tech-related separations mostly stem from the 2210 job series for IT managers, with over 18,000 employee separations in that category. In that same time, agencies made about 2,300 new IT hires.

And of course the underground station (which would have been under the parking lot) wouldn't have solved that. But what if...

From the new dietary guidelines released yesterday by secretary quack:

From NYT article: "The guidelines focus on priorities from Mr. Kennedy and his Make America Healthy Again movement, emphasizing protein, which most Americans already get enough of. They advise adults to consume 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight per day — 50 to 100 percent more than what federal health officials have previously recommended for people’s basic needs (0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day)."

What's wild is that this story/controversy appears to have resulted in an even more strict policy than what was in place in 2023 (read from bottom-up):

Evolution of the coast guard hate symbol policy from 2023-present from the post article linked below:

"Excerpt from February 2023 U.S. Coast Guard policy document, Page 21

The following is a non-exhaustive list of symbols whose display, presentation, creation, or depiction would constitute a potential hate incident: a noose, a swastika, supremacist symbols, Confederate symbols or flags, and anti-Semitic symbols. The display of these types of symbols constitutes a potential hate incident because hate-based groups have co-opted or adopted them as symbols of supremacy, racial or religious intolerance, or other bias.

Excerpt from November 2025 U.S. Coast Guard policy document, Page 36

Potentially divisive symbols and flags include, but are not limited to, the following: a noose, a swastika, and any symbols or flags co-opted or adopted by hate-based groups as representations of supremacy, racial or religious intolerance, or other bias.

Excerpt from Thursday memorandum

Divisive or hate symbols and flags are prohibited. These symbols and flags include, but are not limited to, the following: a noose, a swastika, and any symbols or flags co-opted or adopted by hate-based groups as representations of supremacy, racial or religious intolerance, anti-semitism, or any other improper bias."
