Again: tech journalism is meeting this moment in a way the mainstream establishment newspapers and cable channels just aren’t. I can’t emphasize enough what a big deal this is.

This is why I really have no time for the "behind the scenes, Republicans say yadda yadda yadda." This is a public-facing business. If you tell a reporter you don't want to vote "aye" then you vote "aye," who cares?

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How's the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And when will the feds finally put an end to congestion pricing in Manhattan?

This is exactly the kind of thing Europeans rightfully mock the US for: Teacher preparation programs canceled by DOGE, like this one in Winston-Salem, are now resorting to GoFundMe's just to stay afloat. Absolutely outrageous.

I'm hearing probationary employees are now getting laid off at the IRS. Another department that's likely to be left short-staffed in the coming months; good thing there isn't some massive deadline most Americans will be facing that will specifically require the IRS to be-- what's that? Oh

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

The accelerationist belief that if things get bad enough, then things will start to get better is quite something to see in the wild. It’s wrong though. Historically, misery creates more misery and is visited on the most marginalized in ever intensifying cycles of horror.

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

My entire Threads feed is doctors posting pro-vax content ab the measles outbreak, sometimes connecting the dots to HHS. It’s very weird to be curated into a pro-vax bubble for a change. Glad to see all the med pro content creators! I hope normies are getting some of this, but would bet it’s siloed.

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.
