UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

This is serious in that the UK law says Apple can't announce that this was because of the law. What's even more concerning is that Apple took this step, but NO ONE ELSE providing data services in the UK has done so. How many caved and built back doors into their encryption services?

Sometimes I think about how bad the risk management of Silicon Valley millionaires and billionaires banking at Silicon Valley Bank was. Then I think about how all they use margin loans to avoid taxes. Then I start wondering how much pain they can really take before their wealth collapses

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, Zelensky is negotiating with a very big card: 3 years of thwarting Putin's attempted conquest, at an immense cost to Russia which they cannot sustain. We can be confident Trump gets, at some level, how big that card is, because he keeps trying to weaken it.

Among the many, many hypocrisies of Shapiro as a free speech hero is that he went to Hungary to celebrate a government that bills itself explicitly as "illiberal" and has shut down entire areas of studies and universities.

I was watching a hearing on a bill to ban wind farms, HB2223, when one of the speakers made an outlandish claim, that wind farms exterminated animals on the ground as a way to protect birds. Long story short, she made the whole fucking thing up.

The last WI Supreme Court election saw the end of gerrymandering and hope for reproductive rights. All that could be reversed. This will be the first big race since the Presidential election. A progressive win will show the broligarchy is not inevitable.

Standing up to the authoritarian wave requires more than cheerleading for democracy; it demands making democratic societies more participatory, responsive, and adaptable at all levels, from local to national, in response to the societal shifts driven by the Internet over the past 15 years.

This is not about efficiency. Giving federal employees purchase cards saves money - it reduces layers of paperwork and red tape. Imagine running a business where you stopped employees from purchasing anything. The goal is to shut down government by other means.
