This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Just a reminder that Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, was the recipient of $3B of taxpayer money.

We told you it was about whiteness. If it was clear enough before, it’s clear now.

Trump paused the refugee program, but when it comes back online, it will focus on resettling white South Africans (Afrikaners) who are “victims of racial discrimination.” (Camilo/CBS)

America has gone off the rails.

Palestine is not a symbol. Not a metaphor. Not a trending topic. It is a land with a people who sing, grieve, love, and fight for a future they are told they do not deserve. And yet, they exist. And yet, they resist. And yet, they will win.

USAID provides critical services to people in need all over the world, so it’s not surprising that the world’s richest man, who has never faced a day of adversity in his life, would so callously attempt to eliminate them.

If you have to pass an EO to force people to teach that America is amazing in schools, then maybe - just maybe - American isn't as great as you'd have us believe.

Joke's on them. I refuse to vote.
For those interested in politics, don’t ignore AI. AI models will further change politics into something that is probably unrecognizable.

Just like a TikTok algo can get what it wants in front of you, campaigns will figure out how to get information to get you to vote , OUTSIDE of your phone/PC
Remember when we were arguing about the term "foundation models"? It feels like ages ago! With those base models culminating in DeepSeek v3 in Dec 2024, 2025 will likely be the year of LLM specialization!

Anyway, I will be writing about it more soon :).
