Even from the pragmatic standpoint, all their talk of “time to build” was accompanied by steady hollowing out of all technological expertise other than software and shitcoins. We wont’t build anything physical other than vibecoded BS the way things are going.

Until I see nerds in short-sleeved white shirts who know how a turbine works, this is all empty talk.

If a reporter stubs his toe in the East Coast, it’s a tragedy. If the West Coast gets nuked, it’s trivia.
Trans people existing makes the NYT editors more personally uncomfortable than Trump ordering military occupation

There’s an interesting meta pattern here that exemplifies how one of the largest economies in the world is basically an exotic foreign country to people who ostensibly speak for the whole country. It’s such a strange provincialism.

One thing that ties everything together is that it seems like everyone has taken basically everything for granted. They actually can't believe that things can get worth. It's society wide affluenza
The transition and first month of the Trump administration has seen some of the most embarrassing miscalculation by elites in business, in finance, in tech, and in Congress
14. The enthusiasm of U.S. tech moguls to bow the knee at Trump's inauguration few weeks ago may turn out to be a massive strategic error. Can people outside the U.S. trust U.S. tech any more? That is now an open question. Finis.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

What's incredible is how there are thousands - tens of thousands - of stories like this, a genuine national crisis akin to a foreign invasion, and our elite press is so bubbled, so insular, that they can only cover it by writing "Strong leaders flex governing muscles" 700 times over. Pathetic.
“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

There is no super secret "ultra-competent" wing of the federal government that's figured it all out.
This country/planet is a spaceship, and every day we wake up and through our labors keep this thing going, and if we stop just for a single day, we will all be worse off.

One of the defining features of our current moment of lumpenfascism is a preoccupation with symbols of strength, power, or prestige, while being totally uninterested, or even actively opposed to learning about, the actual reasons why those symbols came to be in the first place. Cargo cult ideology.
