Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

For those who missed it, these anti-protest laws were actually written by an oil industry funded lobby group.

People in tech talk about the idea of a “10x programmer” — someone whose work is worth that of 10 others. I get the impression Musk etc think they can apply it all over the federal workforce but like… there’s no such thing as a 10x ATC navigational aid maintenance worker. Some jobs just need people.
Abruptly firing people who work in air traffic control is like murdering your own soldiers in the middle of a war.

Even if you think things now aren’t working as efficiently as they should there’s no clear path to recovering from this; it’s just a really extremely foolish and dangerous thing to do.
On the heels of multiple airplane disasters, including one less than a month ago that killed 67 people, and after years of warnings about our understaffed air traffic control system, Trump has begun firing hundreds of FAA air traffic control workers.

Of course Elon Musk and Donald Trump will use defunding, poverty, homelessness and starvation instead of Gas Chambers.

Because they are socially acceptable and not 'Murder'.

Even though they definately are.

Elon Musk is requesting all the IRS data so he can see all the taxes everybody has paid.

One of the first things the Nazis did was go through Social Security data and find everybody who had never worked.

They then murdered every disabled person who hadn't.
