Elon Musk fancies himself some kind of maverick technologist superhero. But he’s no Tony Stark. He’s PHONY Stark. He’s the one the Avengers defeat at the end of the movie.

It kills me that so many people think that boys are actually playing girls sports … talk about a manufactured issue.

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

I sincerely hope that every AWS, Google, and Azure cloud customer from Europe have their private keys safely stored away. And that the migration off those services is ongoing for any critical systems. The regions in Europe are heavily integrated to US regions. They are not immune to US events.

At the Federal Bureau of Investigation, anxiety around officials possibly targeting officers and activities perceived as being disloyal to the president has cratered morale, a federal law enforcement source with knowledge of the agents' concerns tells WIRED. The FBI declined to comment.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”
