A reminder for any Republican that ever wants to run for office again: he was talking about unilaterally cutting Social Security payments just a few weeks ago.
Musk's cost-cutting process is this: First, he asks to cut off payments. Then his people go line-by-line to justify expenses. If they can't, the expense is cut or severely reduced. Payments are withheld to payee, who either accept cut rates or is dared to take Musk to court.

Peng Cheng Labs was listed by BIS's Entity List last week. The facility like supports offensive research on behalf of China's hacking teams. Specifically, the lab very likely supports the recreation of targeted networks for attackers to rehearse operations before conducting them.

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

Current life is not annoying in its cynicism but rather the lack of exactitude of its mechanisms so let’s do the fucking math for them.
If our economy is primarily driven by attention, then let’s quantify attention, a quantum of attention is an ‘attenum’ (plural ‘atteni’).

Bluesky is fine as a communication medium, for now, but the “great migration” doesn’t quite feel worthy of celebration. I don’t trust Dorsey any more than Musk. Technology is not a panacea.
