So…”US health chief Kennedy targets 'environmental toxins' as cause of autism.” But…Trump gutted EPA & FDA. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Testing various Ai / LLMs has led me the opposite conclusion. People with advanced degrees (or experience) would easily note mistakes Ai makes, as well as nuanced details it often misses. People stop using Ai when it takes them longer to fix the output than do it themselves in the first place.

It's really just Wealth anywhere. Saudi money, Russian oligarch money, Musk money and every single tech company that can wheedle into their account books. If you've got vast sums to spend influencing the White House, Donald Trump wants to talk to you.

"You can't disassociate. There's no disassociation allowed... It's the long fucking run with these people. You gotta stick in there." @karaswisher.bsky.social has some important advice amid all the Trump and Elon chaos.

The architects of #Project2025 explicitly said they had the first 180 days mapped out. FOR EVERY FEDERAL AGENCY. We're only 17 days into it, and we are already in profound crisis. I've said before that this country will be utterly unrecognizable in 6 months. www.project2025.org/playbook/

@krassenstein.bsky.social Musk's long term plan is to privatize the flow of money through the Federal government, and he intends to be the head of the company that provides that service. That's why he has the baby-bros involved. They are collecting requirements and they will build the new system.

Survival horror is when you read the news and keep on going

Trump: "FEMA is gonna be a whole big discussion very shortly, because I'd rather see the states takes care of their own problems."

Revealing exchange between Douthat and Marc Andressen. Douthat says that DOGE won't save money b/c most programs are popular and you need people to run them. Reasonable! Andressen: the existence of the program reflects contempt for the taxpayer. Social media will allow us to weaken public support.
