Agentic bots scrapping everything there’s to scrap & the impact on open source can be detrimental. @reckless.bsky.social @davidpierce.xyz. Good story for @theverge.com to dig into.

I am disappointed by @theatlantic.com framing of RFK. Most destructive is more apt. I would expect @theatlantic.com to be more precise in their language. Powerful makes his intentions ambiguous. Destructive is factual and describes what he is doing to science.

Who knew today is World Elephant Day. Anyway...we are very fortunate to have these magnificent creatures live among us and hope that we don't mess up the world for them.

Do better @nytimes.com...geez. Risk is the best you can come up with? If risk is the word you chose to use, then words have lost all meaning. Madness is more appropriate. @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

I know facts, data etc. are weaknesses of this administration - cruelty is their only strength. But firing federal employees because its too large is ridiculous given US population growth over the last 35 years. What a shitshow.

This man is utterly despicable. He fired the FAA director because he would not kowtow to Elon and now without knowing the facts he is already blaming others. We are in for a long ride. And Congress is asleep at the vehicle about it's responsibilities.

Anyone else facing this message when trying to access Tiger Line files from the Census Bureau? Been happening since yesterday morning and not fixed it. Since the US Census Bureau is not here, tagging others who might know. @censussdc.bsky.social @censusreporter.org @kylewalker.bsky.social

Ancient tech (late 2000s) or a comment on our disposable society. Wonder if it still works 🤔.
