@carelesspeople.bsky.social very well written. Amazingly detailed. Incredibly scary. I recently completed Maria Ressa’s How to Stand Up To a Dictator, and between it and Careless People, it is clear how the power-drunk, including Zuckerberg, are astonishingly alike. I will champion this book to all!

I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

Hi. I’m an expert in modernizing legacy government software systems. This is profoundly stupid and will definitely fail, and it’s just a question of whether our social security system fails along with it.
