My son cannot do an American accent AT ALL. He's auditioning for a role in the Yr 6 leavers play which requires 'an exaggerated American accent'. Me being a massive Mea Culpa fan he hears @michaelcohen212.bsky.social a lot so I said 'pretend you're Michael Cohen'. And he NAILED IT.

My plea to reporters is to not call it the Department of Government Efficiency. It is not a Department. It is almost certainly going to a Federal Advisory Committee, and it is very important that reporters accurately convey that Vivek and Elon are working on an advisory committee.

Okay, one more random tip for newbies: if someone quote-skeets (yes, they're called skeets, shut up) you in a way to dunk on your or annoy you, you can "detach" your skeet from the quote, so that it no longer shows.
This is also useful in ending brigading attacks.

The slow trickle of MAGA folks over here underscores how much their experience of online is entirely dependent on people getting mad at them. It also underscores how even they, given the option, would rather not hang out with themselves either.
