In an ordinary world, this kind of screw-up would result in: 1) Resignation of the official involved 2) Congressional hearings 3) New communications rules I suspect this will result in lots of name-calling aimed at The Atlantic generally and Jeffrey Goldberg specifically.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Is anyone else concerned President Trump has ordered the DOJ to go after any law firms bringing suit against any of his administration actions?

"#IT leaders are driving a new #cloudcomputing era" Maybe 'new normal', but not new. Pragmatic #CIO , #CTO has always seen #cloud as a platform, not a religion, so used #hybridcloud, #multicloud, on-premises, #MSP, #datacenter - where they make sense. What do you think? www.infoworld.com/ar...

"this guy tapped his girlfriend on the shoulder, turned in my direction, and said, 'Looks like a Transformer took a shit.' I know he was talking about me because the only other car on the road was a cute little Mini Cooper, and they don’t look like any kind of shit, never mind a Transformer’s shit."

I can hear DOGE now - DOGE: Sorry, the data says you are dead, therefore you are committing fraud and we will come after you - Person: If I am dead and committing fraud, how can you come after me - DOGE: We have our ways. You need to prove you are alive - Person: how? - DOGE: thats your problem

This is a good primer for self-hosting. There's so much benefit in Infrastructure Autonomy and the actual costs are way way less than people assume.

It amuses me to have AI create pictures of robots for the #Cloud2030 podcast thumbnails. It feels oddly like asking tge AI for a selfie. For this episode: soundcloud.com/user-4100912...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Stay tuned. Same bat channel..... From 18F, "we're not finished yet"

This is tragic. Anyone who was familiar with 18F knows those were some of the real heroes of government, who helped make government tech/digital services better for the public. They were doing real work that DOGE pretends to do, but is too ignorant to know how to do.

This. The focus on building bespoke platforms vs customer focused apps is an awful, long running, trend. Your compliance/security/platform requirements are likely almost identical to 100s of other companies. Your needs are likely not unique. Despite what the conferences & blog posts tell you.

Wondering what House Republicans are up to today? They're trying to pass a budget that paves the way for slashing Medicaid so they can pay for tax cuts for billionaires like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Seriously.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.
