Does anyone really know what is in this big ugly bill? Has any member of Congress actually read it?
#dysfunction
The backlog has alarmed career ofcls who warn it could amount to illegal impoundment of funds.
Major #funding agencies including the #NIH & the National #Science Foundation [#NSF] have been mired in #dysfunction that has slowed the routine work of awarding new #grants & sending billions in funding, appropriated by #Congress, to researchers & projects across the country.

The Inspiration for Tiered Democratic Governance
The TDG was not born out of thin air. It foundation was laid when I spent six years as an active volunteer in a Canadian political party.
I learned that politics that internal party politics is quite dysfunctional. No wonder we can't find good solutions. No wonder many voters are cynical.

"increasing internal #dysfunction of the #US #militaryindustrialcomplex is causing a steady decline in military capability.. US may intervene to enable #Israel to win the current war against #Iran & compel Iran to accept harsh restrictions on its #nuclear program & #military capabilities. Tis won't alter te #economic, military, & #political #trends working against Israel’s current political model of a militarized ethno-state.. Israel can't persist in behaving like a ruthless warring kingdom"
Recognizing unhealthy dynamics in our family relationships is crucial. But have you ever paused to consider: could your relationship with your career also be unhealthy?
You could plausibly argue that a significant portion of the #social, #political and #economic #dysfunction around the globe are attributable to a handful of bad #legislative and #judicial decisions in the #US.
The conflict within #PeteHegseth’s inner circle persists even after he purged several political appointees in April & attempts to portray a sense of unity among his remaining *brain trust*🤣. His claims, however, are belied by continued behind-the-scenes #dysfunction, brought on by unresolved personality conflicts, #inexperience, vacancies in key #Pentagon leadership roles & a steady-state of #paranoia over what political crisis is next…
Today is going to be very difficult for people separate from parents to protect their mental and emotional and sometimes physical health. Don't forget to be kind today.

@flexghost @msbw #Xhitter has always been about the #LookAtMe culture. It's always been about #Narcissism. It's the equivalent of a 3 year old putting their underpants on their head in a living room and screaming for attention #LookAtMe from #DrunkMommy and #DrunkDaddy: lots of #Dysfunction to go around from the parents as well as the kids.

The only thing that I share with that elite is some of the family's disdain for #TonyTenFlags, aka Tony Abbott.
Interesting that it is less prevalent among the young and the old but a notable prevalence among adults aged 30-60 years
Post-COVID Cough Linked to Neurological Dysfunction
Coughing appears to be more closely linked to neurological dysfunction than to classic respiratory involvement.

I made the mistake of trying to spring clean the garden room/my study on a day after I had a full 8h sleep for the first time in >6mo.
Thing is my brain is working well enough to remind me I that I apparently hate absolutely everything and everyone and now I am too pissed off to clean and am just leaving everything like a dusty bomb went off in here.
Gonna go sit with my dog on the sofa and get another early night so that I can get right back to hating everything BRIGHT AND EARLY. #dysfunction
#webIndustry & #AI by @baldur
"Even the #paidjobs when they happen have much lower budgets and are employing fewer people.
This #dysfunction means that the “adjacent but still in the industry” jobs that used to pay for the #passionprojects are fewer and farther between. More and more people have to rely on unrelated day jobs (or spouses) to stay in the industry and the cold hard truth is that most of them will burn out and leave eventually."

The continued #Dysfunction in the #DemocraticParty paired with the #Ruthlessness of the #TrumpublicanParty will continue to drag the US down. Unfortunately for #Americans this #Asymmetry is a #DeathSpiral https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/aoc-loses-house-oversight-committee-vote-gerry-connolly-rcna184581
Seems like we're reaching a point where people are willing to put up with their own family dysfunctions less and less. This is likely why estrangement, for some, is a far more viable option than it ever used to be. The results of the recent presidential election aren't slowing this down either. #family #dysfunction #politics
