Digital rights activists have long railed at the use of the term "IP," criticizing it for being deceptively imprecise and also rhetorically dishonest. I get where these objections are coming from, but I think they're misguided.

There was literally a pangolin that flew combat sorties with the CIA in a dirty war in Laos that then died after drinking too much gin, so there’s at least one pangolin whose record is morally ambiguous

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Just finished the excellent and very readable When the Clock Broke by @lioneltrolling.bsky.social. Having lived through it I certainly recognized much but it was fascinating and terrifying to read about some of the figures I hadn’t clocked at the time, like Carroll Quigley or (shudder) Sam Francis.

Care for us? True indeed! They ne’er car’d for us yet. Suffer us to famish, and their store-houses cramm’d with grain; make edicts for usury, to support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act establish’d against the rich, and provide more piercing statutes daily to chain up and restrain the poor.

Here, @joshtpm.bsky.social picks up on excellent @wired.com reporting (by @kimzetter.bsky.social) ... ... to note that Musk and his DOGE lackeys are trying to centralize control over federal systems ... ... that were created disparate by design. For security! talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

Screenshot reading:

The additional, clear through-line in the whole DOGE story is that the DOGErs arrived at a federal government that was complex and decentralized in its powers. There’s no button at the White House you can push and turn off all the government’s computer networks. On a more mundane level, there’s no central email database from which the President can fire off an all-staff email to everyone who works in the U.S. government. This feature of the federal government has many roots, some good, some bad. But one reason it’s set up that way is that it creates resilience. You're not going to have a computer virus take down everything at once, or gain access to everything everywhere. If we look at everything that DOGE has done over the last 3+ weeks, a unifying feature is the effort to pull all of these networks together for more central control. The first signs of DOGE activities at the Office of Personnel Management was the creation of just that centralized email distribution. It kicked off with the “fork” emails. But it continued from there and expanded out beyond email. Gaining access to CISA is just another chapter in that fast-moving story.

Means-testing to shut lower middle-class people out of government services has convinced those people that those services don’t exist or exclusively serve the undeserving and that the shutdown of the government is no big deal because it doesn’t do anything for them anyway
