@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social On the episode with @jenpsaki.msnbc.com: what we need from the media is to channel Will McAvoy from The Newsroom. Maybe major networks like MSNBC won’t allow that, and maybe the Democratic party can’t handle it either. It’s what we need. It’s how you bring people back.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

There's really no words to express the absolute absurdity of a lone person trying to rewrite a bunch of old mainframe code like my brain rebels that anyone could possibly be doing this and how badly it's going to fail

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/the-us...

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

Great point here on fixing App Store by taking from the margin, not the total. "I’d say what would be rational is if you were a reseller of a digital good that you would pay Apple 30 percent of the profit margin. Thirty percent of the margin would be reasonable" bsky.app/profile/sixc...

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

Again, I don’t understand how threatening the territorial sovereignty of, & starting trade wars on the basis of national security laws with, our closest ally in the world is not an immediate presidency-ending scandal. We are deeply unserious country whose constitution has completely failed.

This sounds like a bad movie it's so hard to believe but does seem to actually, possibly be happening that that core US government private information on US citizens and businesses and confidential govt operations is being carted off by unvetted malevolent possibly foreign actors

Ask yourself a question. Are you just raging? Choose your battles wisely. Not every issue is worth confronting directly; focus on key concerns where your input can make a significant difference. Local activism is the place to start. You can impact that. If you actually want to make a difference

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

This is not an argument either way, but with the cycle depreciation of computer hardware I wonder what after-life these utterly massive Hoover-Dam-scale AI investments will have, if realized. Unfortunately they are hyper-scale stuff you can't do consumer things with even if they're outdated.
