Congrats Alpha!!!!!

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace. If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

Elon Musk is hosting an X "Space" right now w/ Vivek Ramaswamy, and demonstrating a weaker grasp of our system of government than a freshman political science student.

I could not say it better:

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.

"Greedy unaccountable man demands direct access to nation's bank accounts, citing 'efficiency'" There's your damn headline, NYT

all the feels

I did Resistbot. You should too! resist.bot The SMS version works just fine, no need to give them your entire social media.

We are not attracting the best and brightest to lead us.

Patch clamp lifers: I had to use reading glasses to slice a P11 today. When did those things get so small?? 😭
