I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

1) Power centers are inherently conservative 2) What purge? Where is the data to back this up 3) What really happened is social media let more women, Black people and other actually marginalized people to center themselves.. and that is read as rendering these folks "voiceless"

What this person is describing is hobbies. Men need hobbies that don’t have to be monetized (like everyone else).They need to build ships in bottles again or perhaps read a Chuck Klosterman book, frisbee golf is also an option

arguments over who would get blamed for a shutdown are insane. the median voter has no idea this is happening. the median voter knows one fact about politics and it’s that Donald Trump is the President

"'Jobs that require just logical thinking are on the chopping block, to put it bluntly,' she says. 'I think the pendulum is swinging back to the creative side of things.'" Imagine a world where we didn't push creative thinkers to leave tech.

While I don’t feel much sympathy for DOGE employees, it is weird how abusing employees and forcing them to sleep at the office is now explicitly condoned on the right. It’s wild how Silicon Valley normalized this for years, and we were just okay with it because tech workers had “cool jobs”.

I honestly don’t know why they frame it as if these companies are reluctantly giving up DEI- these companies are disinvesting in DEI because they don’t think the courts or the political system will punish them for discrimination anymore. DEI existed for most as a lawsuit barrier.

I think multiple elected officials just nonchalantly being like “Elon Musk is not a government employee and has zero authority so his words are basically toilet paper” would probably result in one of the most epic public breakdowns and illegal threats against federal officials we’ve ever seen

I don’t want to sound like an asshole but I’m genuinely befuddled learning that people a) younger and more online than my parents or b) who aren’t assholes themselves at any point knew who this fucking guy was and didn’t think that he sucked

I have been to a few Seattle protests, and every time the vast majority of the crowd is over 50. The vast majority of the population under 50 works in tech, so you can put that one together. What would it take to get tech workers more involved?

I'm not religious, but sometimes I think it would be fun if the rapture did happen because imagine the looks on all the MAGA faces when Jesus is like: "You had people FLY THROUGH THE SKY for a Christmas pageant while you made homeless people sleep on the street in a hurricane?!?"

Big tech vibes in 2025: “We at [company] want all our employees to be happy. Therefore, if you are unhappy, we will make your life so difficult that you leave. If you have a problem with this, please drop us a note in the anonymous comment box that we definitely won’t read.”

And that’s why we need to remind big tech things like “don’t be evil” USED to be part of the job description and then it… stopped And that matters.
