Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.
Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge.

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

I’m working with a junior web dev to get some Rmd-generated pages onto an existing website. Seems like html fragments are the way to go, but anyone have examples or tips for a process to manage dependencies like plotly, crosstalk, etc? #rstats

Musk has no technical skills whatsoever, but he wants to appear smart. So he takes bits of information like this, told to him by junior engineers, and regurgitates it to appear smart.
Musk did this with the Twitter stack and Twitter's senior architects called him out publicly, then he fired them.

One of Musk's defining qualities is that he is a conspiracy theorist when it comes to government. He will see some ambiguous information or be presented with an easily debunked tale and he immediately believes the worst.
