Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

aiddata.org

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned

Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

"All of this is a huge diversion of resources and deflection from the task at hand. As one of us likes to say, when you’re in a climate hole, stop digging … and burning fossil fuels. It really is, at some level, that simple."

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

The difference between you and the billionaire class is greed. It's not hard work. It's not intelligence. It's not skill. It's not good ideas. It's just greed. Even if you had incredible luck, you would need greed at a level that is unfathomable to most of us to make it stick.

A Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump with a diagram of a volcano with cement plugging the vent. The caption reads "Why has no one ever experimented with placing cement in the mouth of volcanoes considlered (sic) active, as in the image, or heavy metal rocks. And when erupting the lava would be blocked, preventing deaths and accidents."
