Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American.

@tuatha.ie - Hello! I am trying to connect with archeologists who have knowledge of the glass bead industry in Ireland in the 890s / La Tiene - specifically the cable beads. I'm a modern lampwork artisan fascinated by this astounding art. Do you have any recommendations for contacts?
March 25, 2025 at 8:06 PM
@dodoarchaeology.bsky.social - can you recommend any of your colleagues as a good point of contact for 890s La Tiene glass beads? I'm a modern lampworker studying medieval techniques and trying to find professionals with that field of study.

Brilliantly succinct: "just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns"
the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns
Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

....and yet none of the firms who filed lawsuits on his behalf that were so egregiously false that the lawyers lost their license to practice will be affected by any of this. Only those who opposed him. What a small, weak, disgusting, whiny little man.
I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy.

Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work.
