There's a lot of nonsense here, but I'll just comment on the claim that education should focus on "patriotism in American history" feels pretty dictator-y.

One of the USAID lawsuit declarations I added to my page today is this one, from a person who did cybersecurity at USAID. It provides best technical description I know of what the DOGE boys did after they arrived. They lost access on Feb 4, a month ago. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

one thing about this is that it shows how terminally online these people are

Good to know!

We say “hit by a bus” because “quit for a better job” is uncomfortably closer to being likely.

What you just said.

I'm sure this will work out spectacularly necause cooking the books has always turned out well...🙄

"Biological woman need a voice" says biological woman in column that trans women have never been allowed.

“Don’t believe the career experts who showed their work. Believe the partisan idiots with an agenda who won’t show their ‘proof’”

I am so tired of hearing 'but trans people are just a tiny segment of the population' as a supposed defence of us. The number of out trans people is small (though growing) - but the reason we're in such danger is the threat we pose to the whole rotten order. You need to acknowledge that to help us.

for the last two years, I’ve had people screaming at me when my analysis includes the fact that the techno fascist clearly stated for years that their goal is to literally capture the US dollar with crypto, and then drive the dollar into the ground so they own the entirety of the world’s finances.

At least the people who needlessly die in the next wave of hurricanes will die in a world with fewer pronouns. I'm sure that'll be a comfort to their loved ones.

Why would he go on premium cable and admit on live tv that as a tween he wanted to watch girls pee

Blind Spot.

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

As they grow more and more AI dependent, these people reveal how little they read. See also Bill Ackman, who is constantly demanding “investigations” over stuff that would be solved by reading to the seventh graf. Arrogant, lazy, stupid.

I already wasted 3 hours in January listening to Rogan interview Zuck, so I'm just going to read Anna's summary of the Elon interview rather than subjecting myself to more Rogan.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

every day I spend time thinking about how stupid and unnecessary all of this is and I hate it

Men just need to be more assertive during salary negotiations. It’s not women’s fault if men don’t push for higher pay or demand promotions.

So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.

genuinely there are few things on this Earth more fragile than a white cis liberal experiencing the lightest criticism at all from a trans woman

A reminder for these times.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

If you work or worked for CISA, please read this from @swiftonsecurity.com infosec.exchange/@SwiftOnSecu... You are appreciated, and we are sorry for what’s happened to your hard work.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Again, Jews were less than 1% of the German population in 1933.

BRAIN: wait! we’re forgetting something super important right now ME: omg what is it? BRAIN: idk i was hoping you knew 👉👈

Hot take: Social security is good actually

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Apparently we aren't going to talk about LockBit as a threat anymore. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/28/trump-russia-hacking-cyber-security Good going "cybersecurity isn't political" chucklenuts. You're cooked. We're cooked.

This is the first time in US history that a state has repealed statutory protections for a specific group.

We really need to revive and adapt the idea of wrecking to describe this

It’s easy to feel hopeless when headlines are screaming negativity 24/7, but don’t let them trick you into thinking there’s no good left in the world. There is kindness in strangers, laughter in unexpected moments and resilience in people like you. Keep looking for the good.
