Wanted to experience the Criterion closet at #sxsw and get a few classics I’ve had my eye on, but the line situation was nuts all weekend.
Getting there early still had a 7-8hr wait and no promise of getting in let alone having stock for what you’d want to buy. Quite disappointing.

This is tragic. Anyone who was familiar with 18F knows those were some of the real heroes of government, who helped make government tech/digital services better for the public.
They were doing real work that DOGE pretends to do, but is too ignorant to know how to do.

18F, a digital services unit inside the General Services Administration, has been completely laid off, according to an email I’ve seen. The email says that 18F was deemed “non-critical” and the decision was made with the “explicit” direction of the administration and GSA leadership.

The CFPB has returned $21 BILLION to consumers. It’s the reason your overdraft fees aren’t 7x the amount. They go after the shitty customer service you love to complain about online and get you refunds. Killing the agency is taking money out of your pocket.
