Before there was DOGE, there was England’s 1866 Exchequer and Audit Departments Act. Elon Musk could learn a few things from its history.
What Elon Musk Could Learn From the World’s ‘First DOGE’

This was announced everywhere as a feminist March 8th protest. I thought I was in the wrong place when I got there. Why do y'all have to turn every single protest into this?

I've heard different conversations going "what's this for?"," I don't know, Pαlestine or something?"

Primavera Sound's "AccessTicket" app requests way too many permissions for an app that you need to gain access to the festival. It also has third party trackers (Google, Braze, Facebook). Having to upload my ID and verify my identity also seems a bit too much. @primavera-sound.bsky.social

one thing about this is that it shows how terminally online these people are
ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh.

Once again something that looks to cis people like "it doesn't affect me" but it actually does...
To cis people who think it doesn't affect them... EVERYONE has a gender identity. EVERYONE! Just the fact that yours matches up with your sex assigned at birth is irrelevant to that fact.

I don’t support stopping humanitarian aid into Gaza.

But if after 17 months of Hamas torturing our hostages and denying them the entering aid, if all you have to say about it is “Israel is evil,” then you’ve got no claim to a moral compass either 🤷‍♂️
