Why AI Can’t Replace Cybersecurity Analysts tisiphone.net/2025/02/26/w...

A tiny bit of good news.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Here's the link to the article.

Who's got a line on the campaign to mail a physical copy of this report to every Democrat in office every week for the next year?

“‘Craven. He's Fearful of Trump’: Marty Baron Slams Jeff Bezos' Censorship of Post Opinion Section” An exclusive interview today with Marty Baron by ⁦‪John Harwood‬⁩ for Zeteo:

Microsoft CEO Admits That AI Is Generating Basically No Value futurism.com/microsoft-ce...

Maybe the most illustrative sentence about what’s going on that I’ve read in weeks.

reminder! when elon musk was stumping for trump (and giving his campaign hundreds of millions of dollars) he called himself anti-government, more recently said there should be no regulation by “default” & previously said he thought he’d wind up in prison if trump didn’t win…

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone. Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

No lies detected.

Amazing lack of self-awareness from Clarence Thomas, who takes a dig at Oklahoma's attorney general for appointing a "personal friend and campaign donor" to review Glossip's case. I guess he has realized that friendships and money can influence personal judgment? www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

hey look I found some wasteful spending

Not that you needed any more evidence that Musk is an utter buffoon but JFC.

BREAKING: Office of Special Counsel Finds Many DOGE Firings Unlawful with Major Implications for the Future of the DOGE Purge and Potential Jeopardy for Those Who Executed DOGE's Orders talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/big-d...

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

No notes

The correct answer is “Your Honor, given my professional ethical obligations and my obligations as an officer to the court, I am not in a position to make a representation on behalf of the government in response to that question.”

He and Musk have no idea what they are doing. Dangerous clowns

Treating Elon Musk as the equivalent of a malign foreign actor seems to be the only prudent approach at this moment.

Non zero chance this makes it really obvious how shit generative ai is

Of course they will use AI because it's easy to be a soulless asshole and outsource to a machine; being human requires compassion and giving a fuck about *people*.

what an irritating case study abjectly demonstrating a lot of the shit i've been saying for years. i hate this.

If only there’d been some way to know this would happen…

It is nuts to have some random clueless billionaire w/ no official authority send such a demand on a weekend, rather than a manager. Combined with then telling people (on Twitter, not in the email) that they'll be fired for not responding the next work day? No reason to give this any credit at all

My dog just killed our favorite chicken. The friendliest of the flock. Feeling a pit in my stomach now. RIP Pidge.

Incompetent weasels. Can't even configure an email server securely, #ffs #doge #dipshit #resist

oh no too bad. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

If you’re a federal worker and you feel it prudent to respond to the Musk/Trump demand for an accounting of your work last week, this tool could be quite helpful.

"Patel and Bongino, who does not require Senate confirmation in the role, bring none of that acquired expertise or wisdom to the role; neither has worked for the FBI for a single day and neither has meaningful senior management experience." Sure, why not.

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

I finished my response to the "what did you do last week" email just before we got an email from the agency telling us not to respond. So, here it is, the fuck you I had crafted. Enjoy!

The right is doing a good job convincing the right that Trump is doing a good job. But as this weekend's town halls showed, there are a lot of other people who very much remain unconvinced. Gift link: wapo.st/3EQUTiR

Good morning! Yes, we're on Bluesky! All our rider alerts started posting here on Friday, providing you with service updates. And starting today, we'll add some human flair to the mix!

I abandoned Chrome because of this (well, it was the final straw, anyway.)

New: All 50 states have now introduced right to repair legislation. A really amazing milestone for a grassroots movement. Wisconsin just became the last state to do it: www.404media.co/all-50-state...

I'm miffed because I'm gonna have to rewrite sections of two separate papers, but you know what, I'll fucken take it. (Original screenshot reposted with alt text)

Whoever puts this on their list of five things they did this week should get the employee of the year award
