Fun fact: we do not need more oil. There is currently a 3-4 million barrels per day surplus. Total bullshit.
President Trump said this evening that Venezuelan interim authorities will "be turning over" between "30 and 50 MILLION" barrels of oil to the U.S.
Trump: Venezuela to turn over 30-50 million barrels of oil to U.S.
"It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States," Trump said.

I don’t ever want to hear any “pro-family” bullshit from this Administration ever again. Cutting off $10 billion for child care in California and 4 other blue states will make kids, parents, families, and providers suffer. This is disgusting political retribution.

In 2025, quitting social media felt easier than ever
I tried to get back on social media this year but sponsored content, AI slop and lack of other humans made it all so boring.

Yeah, hard to get (re)elected if you publish a report that says 77.3M Americans are just effin idiots.
The Democratic National Committee has decided not to publish its report of what went wrong in the 2024 election. Ken Martin, the DNC chairman, ordered the report months ago but is now said to believe that its release would be counterproductive.

Social media companies attempt to detect and remove this type of astroturfing for violating their inauthentic behavior policies, which is why Doublespeed uses a bank of phones to emulate the behavior of real users.

It's not that "no one was ready" it's that literacy efforts don't get funded, fact-checking is now "censorship", grants got killed, taxing companies to mitigate social impact =nonstarter in the US, politicians focused on the wrong things. Trust & social norm breakdown the are major non-tech issues.

Do we think MAGA/Republicans will speak up *at all* about this new and improved step towards our surveillance state?
"The creation of the Tech Force follows the administration’s hasty closure of several of the government's existing technology teams ... . In March, GSA dismantled 18F, an internal government tech consultancy group, after Elon Musk posted on X that the group had been 'deleted.'” 🤷‍♂️

Some of the recruits to government service will be on leaves of absence from private sector companies while working for government — a setup that raises ethical questions about conflicts of interest.

The aesthetic of these NYT food graphics is on point. A clean, simple, informative surround that really showcases the food stuff, almost sterile but somehow warm, too.
