You're a half duplex hub in a high bandwidth world.
You could have done this right, but you're choosing to be a straight thru cable between two switches and making it their problem.
I trust you like I trust this copper Ethernet connection at 101m.

Oh what's that? Elon and Trump are fighting?
Watch as Elon gets really close to China in the next 6 months.
Watch as Elon gets really close to China in the next 6 months.
So there's only a small subset of win conditions for Elon that remains:
1. He gets the authority to act as a king in the US so he can do/fund whatever and whoever he wants
2. He uses his new animosity in the US to make his projects a popular brand in a country that dislikes the US
5/n

This. All of this.
I know a lot of US citizens only care about US citizens, so I'll just go ahead and point out: when ICE arrests you, the due process would be the point where you prove you can't be deported because you're a US citizen. Without it, there's nothing stopping them from sending you to CECOT forever.

The "proof" from AG Bondi as to why an innocent man was deported is truly amazing.

I might split out my political ramblings from this account to one dedicated to politics.
Swapping between linux rants and my latest thoughts on politics probably appeals to maybe a half dozen people.

At what point are we going to acknowledge that we are *currently* in a dictatorship?
Trump is disappearing people without due process.
Courts are ruling against him and no one is coming to enforce it.
Congress is full of sycophants who go along with everything.
The US is an authoritarian state.

I'll be amazed if this even gets to a trial.
Trump really out here trying to pretend the First Amendment doesn't exist. 🙄
"I am so honored to be suing 60 Minutes, CBS Fake News, and Paramount, over their fraudulent, beyond recognition, reporting." Get bent.

I used to work at The Motley Fool. If I did anything like this, I would have been fired immediately and promptly sued by the SEC and probably TMF too.
Does Trump sign his social media posts with DJT? Yes, but rarely. He ran up Newsmax's IPO 2000% off a post, this was intentional.

Trump is honestly claiming that we're seeing historic gains in the markets and that people and him need to be flexible regarding tariffs.
Like motherfucker, YOU did this. You broke the records you hit in you first term regarding market losses within small time frames. Oh my god.

Trump is short-selling America—deliberately tanking the economy so that businesses and entire industries bend the knee and beg him to save them.
Thanks, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, for sounding the alarm.
Now, what is Congress going to do about it?

Does anyone have a helicopter view of the DC 50501/hands off protest today?
There were so many people across so many blocks I couldn't take a single photo that held everyone, or even did the turnout justice. 😳
