Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

It’s all smoke & mirrors. What disturbs me is how many decades Republicans have managed to pull off this “fiscal conservative” masquerade to a never-questioning public. #Sociologists: is there something in the human psyche that correlates hateful & cruel with “economic savvy?”

Just saw my CPA to do my taxes this week and he was freaking out about DOGE firing 6000 IRS workers during tax season. ("where do they think the money comes from!?") I should have told him to call Congress.

👀 Trump in remarks to the House GOP just now promises no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime + an extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts. That is, at minimum, an $8.95 TRILLION increase to the national debt for a tax bill. So far, no talk about paying down the debt.

So here's what's cool about my job: Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

Over the past 4–5 years, Facebook has sunset tools (chiefly CrowdTangle) used by researchers and journalists, made data difficult and expensive to get, and iced out academics studying disinformation. Now, it's shutting down the fact checking on its platform.

Is anyone else getting besieged by porn bots? There's been at least a dozen today. I was so not missing that from the old place.

I was excited to tell my kids that there's a sequel to Encanto, only to scroll down and learn that Google's AI just completely made this up

DAMMIT NPR. I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded. Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

Idiotic move, which will endanger US & global health It will make America and the world more vulnerable to future health crises As I previously said, “it is hard to think of an action more destructive to public health at home & abroad than the U.S. severing ties with the WHO” 🧵

People voted for a fictional Trump they made up in their heads and the question is whether the massive propaganda apparatus behind him can maintain that fiction while he does all the things many of his voters told themselves he wouldn’t do bsky.app/profile/carl...
