I am all for this. Now everyone can tell who is a sycophantic moron even after they scrub the orange tanner off their nose. Super intelligent of them.

Not surprised and I'm not naive. This is how the world works now, but still disappointing.
Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of Saudi Arabia post on Linkedin with a photo commemorating a meeting between them and CEO of Datadog, Olivier Pomel.  The official Datadog linkedin account and other Datadog employees liked the post.

This is the ideal language breakdown. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like (my very happy last ~1.5 weeks) #clojure

These are the iconic photos of 2025 with rot and corruption at the heart of the US tech industry on full display. DOGE, the failure to curb Meta and Google monopolies, and FCC bullying that followed were all premised by tech titans kissing the ring.

2025-10-21 Dinesh D'Sourza responds on twitter to a racist attack saying "In a career spanning 40 years, I have never encountered this type of rhetoric. The Right never used to talk like this.

A graph of Master's Degrees in Education and GMO corn grown in Ohio overlaid to make them appear correlated.

- time on the x axis 2012-2021
- a left y axis of "degrees awarded" 145.6K-179K
- a right y axis of "GMO Corn %" 2%-13%

The two lines are spuriously correlated.
