Having not actually read Yarvin, I didn't realize his arguments were this stupid. We're talking like, Jordan Peterson or worse. Who cares about clear Constitutionally dictated powers when we could just consider the etymology of the word Executive? 🤪👈

Between this and the experience at Twitter I think there's now enough evidence to say that "not buying toilet paper for the office" is a core aspect of Elon Musk's management philosophy. It also raises some worrying questions about the state of Musk's own ass.

Trump officials admitted to an “administrative error” when they deported Abrego Garcia — a legal resident with no criminal record. A judge ordered Garcia be returned, but Trump is fighting it in court. Garcia now sits in a prison in El Salvador. The cruelty is staggering.

The stock market is something we watch and feel and measure, so its collapse is well-tracked. But when you see the charts of a straight downward trajectory, they also summarize what’s happening with cancer research, academic freedom, basic rights, America’s standing in the world, and so much more.

"DOGE is eliminating the government's tape backups because they're too stupid to know why they're important" is the generous interpretation, when what they might actually be doing is stealing all the money and trying to destroy the records of them doing so.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

The general rule of thumb is to keep three copies of all data on two different forms of media and one copy off-site. Tapes are a really attractive option for at least one of those two forms of media. They're cheap, secure, simple, and resilient to degradation.

I've said this before but I'll say it again: Wine moms get the job done. When Moms for Liberty attempted a hostile takeover of K-12 education, it was the wine moms who rose up, ran for office, supported candidates, went to school/library meetings, made calls, and went to the mat.
