Extremely nice explainer video with a solid math background. I love to see it when someone manages to break new ground in such an old school technique such as 1-bit dithering, and not just any ground, but a stunning leap forward, to mix metaphors a bit. @panic.com bring this to the @play.date API?

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

US government's retroactive interest in South Africa dismantling of apartheid clearly originates with Musk's grievances.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?
