What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

One of the things @kerryhowley.bsky.social describes people at DOD close to tears about is the possibility that Whiskey Pete will be in charge if, say, Israel were to attack Iran. Just some exceptional timing for publication of this, I guess.

whether you like AOC or not, that's a fucking bar bsky.app/profile/acyn...
AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

Replying to @yasharali.bsky.social
Jackass implying that employees are too incompetent to itemize their accomplishments. Completely ignoring the idiocy of soliciting millions of emails from people with no reasonable way of evaluating them. To say nothing of having no true authority. Musk is the incompetent one in this scenario.
Exactly!
DEI and affirmative action are designed to ensure equal opportunity for everyone not a guaranteed result for a few. There is not a tension between these efforts and excellence and equality For those opposed to the concepts I have two words : Pete Hegseth. Explain that and your commitment to quality
