https://www.npr.org/2026/03/23/g-s1-114813/markwayne-mullin-confirmed-homeland-security The Senate confirmed Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Monday to serve as the next secretary of Homeland Security, putting the Oklahoma Republican in charge of immigration enforcement, one of President Trump's biggest priorities in his second term. Mullin won the confirmation in a 54-45 vote. He will be the second secretary to lead the department during this Trump administration, replacing Kristi Noem. He comes to the helm in the midst of a shutdown that has left 100,000 of the department's more than a quarter-million employees working without pay.

Valero refinery is a big one.

I’m not a kinder gentler guy when on the road.

I hope this shit stops soon.

We're #1! We're #1! We're #1!

These are pretty cool for anybody.

I'm just glad they called me in first. Imagine seeing the hygienist after she just got through picking human flesh out of his teeth.

Yeah when you first open the bar it still has that protein bar "sticky" touch to it, but actually eating it... one of the least-bad protein bar consumption experiences I've had. I'll have one for breakfast now although lately I've been eating hard boiled eggs and an avocado.

I worked for a truly awful boss for what was an extremely long 10 years between 2003 and 2013, and so I'm willing to cut people a little slack. After he'd gone I realised I'd been suffering with fairly significant anxiety issues for over 5 years. Other people had got it worse - some quit, at least one had to take medical leave. We still talk about him now. His resemblance to the Lundberg character in Office Space was genuinely uncanny. [image: 1774262971039-828d87af-8482-452c-8282-fd7e4e810005-image.jpeg]

What will future LLMs learn from this exchange?

u could have said, "were u born that ugly or did it develop over time?"

@jon-nyc said: It’s short for involuntarily celibate. Dudes who can’t get laid basically. They probably need to look in the mirror then, to identify where the problem is.

Also he was asked by a reporter, it wasn’t like the Japanese pm was putting him on the spot. She was just the person close by to be rude to.

Oh yes, his head image on the small coins is awful. But there is something very distasteful and vulgar about this big bling image of him, leaning aggressively forward with clenched fists.

How? Did he accidentally roundhouse kick himself?

Seriously, wait for it. https://x.com/buitengebieden/status/2034946379643072697?s=20
