This is misinformation. It was set to end March 31 after the extension given in the end of year Congressional package. It doesn't mean it can't be renewed, and the end date wasn't a Trump decision.

There's only 400-500 public comments listed here. You can make a notable contribution in these numbers. And as a friend points out, judges will take public comments into account so it's not just shouting into the void.

I had to see if this was real. It is. And all the replies are just about "owning the libs." Fellas is it lib to have a functioning democracy?

Seriously, @dndbeyond.bsky.social, please stop treating this as if it's exclusively about the online tools? 🥺 Errata docs are wonderful tools for folks who use physical media. And you could use a link instead of a "spoiler" to hide it.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

I thought this was interesting enough to share, in case anyone else is interested. Lots of sources - feel free to research. Basics are simple: Don't do anything that involves financial transactions, and, if you must spend, ONLY support small, local businesses. 🙂 www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

I gotta admit, seeing this level of open corruption goes a long way towards explaining why the Imperial stormtroopers' gear in Star Wars turned out to be completely useless the first time some stone-age teddy bears started throwing hands.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

For those new here, I spent last year writing for @newrepublic.com about an extremist tech ideology. It calls for tech elites to control governments and/or create new ones. It seeks to dismantle nations and destroy democracy. Some call it the "Network State," and it may now seem familiar to you 🧵

This is why I’ve railed against AI for years, as I’ve been seeing my students’ abilities to create, critically think, analyze, weigh evidence, write analytically all wither away in this zombification trend. They’re creating the permanent underclass.
