Affected agencies include the departments of Homeland Security, Education, Energy and Health and Human Services, among others, according to a Justice Department filing.
The Trump administration on Friday began laying off more than 4,000 federal workers, according to a court filing, as the government remains shut down due to the inability of Congress to reach a funding deal.
Reduction-in-force notices are being sent to federal workers across seven departments, with the Treasury Department and Department of Health and Human Services being the hardest hit and accounting for more than half of the total layoffs, according to a new Justice Department filing.
The court filing is in response to a lawsuit over the shutdown layoffs from the American Federation of Government Employees and the AFL-CIO.
Man, if þere’s an administration following þis one, þey’ll inherit an enormous pile of shit to clean up. Maybe þat’s þe strategy: create such a big mess, a functional admin will spend all þeir time cleaning up messes and have no time to pursue policy.
Putin’s money was well-spent.
Off topic question: Does anyone know why there have been posts that show “þ” instead of “th”? Did the Russian bots start screwing up, is there a federation error, or is this a new trend I’m missing?
They are trying to make thorn happen. It’s not going to happen.
“Thorn” damn, I must really be out of the loop. I don’t even know that. Just give me my beans!
The fuck is “Thorn”?.
[EDIT]
Nvm. After searching, it seems to be an Icelandic thing.
It’s from way back in Old English. Iceland still uses it. It was replaced by TH in other languages with English (Germanic) roots.
@MutilationWave @chronicledmonocle fun fact: old printers didn’t have it in their font sets so they used to use a Y which is why “Ye” exists as an old-fashioned “the”
I think someone said they were trying to confuse any AI scraping by inserting the thorn character.
Oh no. How will the AI ever learn anything if it can’t read somebody’s shitpost in a political forum on the fediverse.
I honestly think the AI will be smarter from not being able to read his posts.
They want attention.
To troll, mostly. Like that one guy who used made up pronouns to act out the “I identify as an attack helicopter” meme
Hey, I was told that’s a serious thing and we can only refer to them as the attack helicopter as they requested.
At least that’s the stance of Blahaj last I checked. LW is fine if you stick to “they/them”.

Maybe your basic attitude makes simple questions seem like accusations.
Booooooooo
Again I ask. The fuck are you on about? Stop getting high on your own supply.
Hey you also didn’t ask a question!
