Thanks also to a media-obsessed chief executive

He should go further. Trump should have to not just stop, but publicly repudiate what he has said about Canada becoming a state.

The Gulf of Mexico name change, I think, was always intended to be a shibboleth. So he can quickly tell who is pliant and who is not.

“Maximally transparent.” “Limiting factor.” Does he speak this way because he thinks it makes him sound like an engineer and people will be impressed?

I don’t know the school’s rules for unofficial or off-campus activities but could they continue as private groups, not under the school’s sponsorship? Then in some brighter future the school could sponsor them again.

This is so outrageous if true that I really want to see confirmation of it — a statement by someone who saw it directly and took that photo or at least by someone who knows them directly, if they need to keep their name a secret.

This could be a case of malicious compliance to demonstrate the absurdity of the order. But a protest is the natural response regardless.

A reminder for any Republican that ever wants to run for office again: he was talking about unilaterally cutting Social Security payments just a few weeks ago.

What a perfect scenario in which to spam US government employees. As if a regular administrative transition weren’t chaotic enough.

Also, Trump is handing out 6 month interim top secret sensitive compartmented information clearances to an as-yet unnamed list of Executive Office of the President staffers who don't have them yet. This could go very wrong.

Peng Cheng Labs was listed by BIS's Entity List last week. The facility like supports offensive research on behalf of China's hacking teams. Specifically, the lab very likely supports the recreation of targeted networks for attackers to rehearse operations before conducting them.

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

Current life is not annoying in its cynicism but rather the lack of exactitude of its mechanisms so let’s do the fucking math for them. If our economy is primarily driven by attention, then let’s quantify attention, a quantum of attention is an ‘attenum’ (plural ‘atteni’).

People block for different reasons: philosophical or political distaste of course, but also sometimes just to simplify their daily reading. Being blocked feels like being rejected, but sometimes it’s more like “I like their posts but just don’t have room.”

Judge Lopez seems to say that the trustee erred in allowing secret bids, which did not maximize the return to the families, and in choosing The Onion, because the families should not have been allowed to contribute money to the bid by The Onion, and without it a company supporting Jones bid higher.

Bluesky is fine as a communication medium, for now, but the “great migration” doesn’t quite feel worthy of celebration. I don’t trust Dorsey any more than Musk. Technology is not a panacea.
