Responded to a ridiculous tweet on the other site, people couldn’t follow the thread and now pinned me for being ridiculous, when I was clearly commenting to a different post, now gone viral. I really need to stick to BlueSky

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.

Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Interesting how the bungling of the Epstein files is now completely out of the news.

I agree
I think the totally understandable negative polarization among people on the left towards AI has obscured for people just how shockingly advanced the tech is getting. The consumer facing image slop is laughable but DeepSeek’s research abilities are insane.

The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control.

Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

#SuperBowl | Hip-hop king’s performance will undoubtedly go down as one of the most important halftime shows in the history of the event, if not the most significant mass-televised rap performance of all time.

The FAA is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk helped push him out. The former FAA administrator stepped down on Jan. 20th after Musk called on him to resign. Musk was angry after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.

Trump backed down.

This is a win. It's what happens when we fight back.

Trump's spending freeze was unconstitutional and a violation of the Impoundment Control Act.

But the public uproar yesterday should serve as a reminder that Trump's plans to gut federal programs are deeply unpopular.

Keep fighting. Keep up the pressure. Don't tune out. www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/p...

Very soon, MAGAs are going to feel the crushing weight of objective reality come smashing down upon their red hats, as the truth becomes terrifyingly clear: they have lost, too.
