And there it is. Same holds for activists, writers, "free speech" orgs, arts institutions and everyone else who has been silent for 15 months.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please remember who the Nazi’s targeted first. They wanted to make Germany healthy and “pure” The Aktion T4 program mass murdered people with disabilities. They tested the gas chambers on us. Please do not obey in advance. Speak out. Save lives.

In my book I called it a cinematic universe. People are established as villains and heroes. They become characters in a serialized alternate reality immediately recognizable to fans. There is now deep lore underlying all of the characters & plot points. There are "heroes" exposing "villains".

@qasimrashid.com I have a question. This suit got on my radar recently, but it's not clear to me what it implies legally. Could this truly set up to endanger sec 504 standing? Or is that a misinterpretation? OP looks legit but I value your trusted perspective. bsky.app/profile/lfle...

They aren’t just leaders lying casually via a broadcast. They have a crowd of people that participate & amplify, making their own memes, deepening the belief. Rumors as propaganda. Any correction from outside can be dismissed bc they did the work of delegitimizing media, experts, outsiders already.

Reminder: LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” was also a diss track that won a Grammy… I remember telling Complex that back when they still mattered & they tried to pretend I didn’t exist. Fun times. Being nostalgic about the Blog Era is hard for some of us who wrote longform during it.

They keep rejecting the comparisons, yet it's the Nazi playbook all the way down

I post lots about alt text as disability justice. You should use it on all images and enable the “require alt text” setting. But if your username uses a fancy font, is full of emojis, or has other tedium for screen readers, all your posts are inaccessible, even if you use alt text. Listen to it:

Tutorials used to create tutorial hell, but I feel like after quite a few recent conversations, there is a new "hell" for beginners. ChatGPT Hell. I am meeting so many beginners that rely on ChatGPT to deliver all of the code and answers but they do not know what is going:

Software engineers of the world, I beg you. Stop disabling copy and paste in password fields. Sincerely, Someone with non-human memorable 20+ character passwords generated by a password manager.

"New Year" is pretty optimistic framing. Should just be called Next Year. Happy next year
