MITRE supports a ton of federal cybersecurity work, with the CVE program probably being the most famous example. It's a globally used repository for vital information about vulnerabilities. cve.mitre.org I've asked DHS what's going on with the MITRE contract.

Musk using his only child who isn't old enough to run away from him yet as a bulletproof vest in all his public appearances is the kind of dark comedy that keeps me going. Sure he's immiserating millions and will immiserate millions more but at least he's also profoundly miserable. We deserve that.

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong chronic illness. It cannot be cured, now or in the future. Insulin keeps us alive. It costs around $2 to make a vial of insulin that’s then priced at hundreds of dollars bc we die w/o it. It’s fucking immoral & inhumane. Insulin should be free.

Falling for “the waste inspector (who has the sole, unchecked power to define what waste is and defines it as anything he doesn’t like) sure is finding a lot of waste!“ doesn’t even rise to the level of the wallet inspector. It’s “got your nose” level. Infant shit.

It's even worse. "We were DIRECTED by the Office of the Deputy Attorney General to provide the lists identifying employees by name." - Acting FBI Director Driscoll (h/t: @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social) What DOJ did contradicts what DOJ told the federal judge in writing (see my post below).

No, the president does not in fact have the authority to turn over the treasury and government infrastructure to an unelected billionaire and his digital mercenaries! This would be the headline of every major news outlet if they weren’t owned by corrupt oligarchs who put this criminal in office!

Important to note the incentive structure here, which is certainly clear to the people involved. "Everyone should have healthcare and the government should pay for it" = crickets, yawns, eye rolls "The right is correct about DEI being bad" = profile in the New York Times

This book was hard to read in some spots, but I truly loved it. An excellent story about a lot of things, but in my mind, about the world being afraid of the power of women and even women themselves being afraid of their power. And how they get it back. #witchcraftForWaywardGirls #gradyHendrix

So Christian-based holidays like Easter and Xmas are out the door as well? Stupidest part about this is that for decades, whilst people still celebrated any and all of these days, there were millions of flights without incident. No link between crashes and these celebrations. (with alt-text)
