You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

So it goes without saying, but let's say it anyway: the concentration of attacks on trans people isn't because trans people are the only people fascists hate (although they absolutely do hate them). It's because they're the people they think non-fascists are least likely to defend.

Could headlines please not just take for granted that Trump “is doing” stuff he has no legal authority to do just because he said so? Because the implication to the reader is that he can in fact legitimately do these things.

When Twitter had its layoffs, their analytics just kept getting worse until it didn't work anymore. Today, the online passport application for Form DS-11 is broken. It was working a couple of weeks ago. I must print out a PDF version and fill it out by hand and mail it.

I really do not think a single person in the US government is paying attention - or realises - what they are stoking to their north right now.

Someone with standing should file a lawsuit, too, stat. I don’t know if that’s Bluesky or someone who’s been banned from Twitter, but it needs to be challenged. Make the Supreme Court say Republican presidents can privatize government communications.

The throughline that I keep returning to is: -they collectively decided that Musk’s takeover of Twitter went *great*. -so they’ve taking that same approach to the entire federal bureaucracy. -instead of server crashes and error messages, medicaid breaks and a plane full of kids crashes.

Women are the canaries in the coal mine of how bad Twitter is now. It’s not just about echo chamber blah blah. It’s unsafe— when huge accounts like this guy w/ 400k followers (Fox contributor too) single out a random woman minding her business so mobs can attack her. And no block feature!

Distributed systems are a necessary evil when you can’t fit it on a single machine for one reason or another. Those reasons have become much rarer which lot that many people have recognized. 96 thread “supercomputers” are ~$10k

Loeffler was the CEO of Bakkt before becoming a Senator. Bakkt is a subsidiary of the Intercontinental Exchange, which Loeffler's husband founded (he's still CEO & chair). This week FT reported Trump Media & Technology is working on a deal to buy Bakkt. Is USDA part of the deal?
