They weren’t denied. They gave up and walked away. Try harder. South Koreans climbed fences. What are the Dems willing to do?

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination. “We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

Just wondering if the sniveling worm @whstancil.bsky.social has offered a milky apology to this, or if he still lives in a fantasy world where this is real and he's an intellectual?

Brereton is doing a great job of filibustering this NACC oversight committee hearing which has just 90 minutes for questions from senators. Almost half an hour gone now and he's still in his opening statement. Mostly rehash of his speech from last week so far.

It’s wild how infrequently Insiders have any actual insiders on the panel. A bunch of columnists, senior gallery journos and politicians aren’t insiders. They have no new or unique insights into politics. They perform the same acts they perform every other day.

We're going to see AI go batshit with Trump's election. With no oversight or regulation, and support from the President to break copyright laws, we need to brace ourselves for unimaginably high fidelity slop.

One aspect of the Bandcamp news that isn't likely to get deep reporting, but matters to me and some others in scenes I run in - some of the staff impacted by layoffs were responsible for acting on reports of e.g. neonazi music on the platform. With their teams demolished, that shit will proliferate.

Facebook lied about how much video people were watching which led media outlets to “pivot to video.” Tens of thousands of journalism jobs were destroyed and never came back. People killed themselves. Do not forget. https://slate.com/technology/2018/10/facebook-online-video-pivot-metrics-false.html

Keep thinking about how, out of all the players involved in #robodebt, Kathryn Campbell exemplifies the banality of evil. A senior, lauded bureaucrat doing "torture by omission"

I think I would do pretty well in a dick measuring contest, I have fairly dexterous hands and can read numbers quickly. I haven't trained at all but if the queue was orderly I reckon I could hit like 5-6 a minute

Something very strange is happening to the Web. Finding something from the past on search engines is eroding. Atemporality replaced by an immediate, constantly vanishing, consumerist hyper-present. What we thought was an infinite Borges-ian library turning into Amazon checkout with a ticking clock…

Unpopular opinion: the horse emojis 🐎🏇 should face right, because their current orientation makes it look like they're running away from the finish line (Not to everyone, but there are substantially more speakers of L-R languages than R-L, so it's fair)
