Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

Cancelled all things Amazon today. Good riddance. I hope more people continue to resist by taking their money to local small businesses.

I’m realizing most people are decent and social media has ripped society apart. LA is pulling together with love and ACTION while idiots on Twitter and Threads blame DEI, democrats, and aren’t doing shit to help. Meanwhile this is the reality on the ground.

exciting! the bluesky team often calls the AT Protocol "billionaire-proof," but this term is only accurate when there are viable alternatives that users can benefit from. (@atproto.com is the underlying standard that bluesky is built upon.)

this new project is helping to make that a reality!
Hollywood stars and geeks unite to billionaire-proof social media
The likes of Mark Ruffalo and Jimmy Wales are backing the Free Our Feeds project, to ensure Bluesky's tech will thrive even if the company goes bad.

Just started Orbital today. Interesting so far, and quite a departure from books I’ve been reading lately. #booksky
