The podcast was excellent, thank you. It’s too bad you missed Twitter before Musk destroyed it; it provided an amazing way to communicate medical information.

Sadly, as in all wars, we will have to worry about collaborators.
Knowing what we know about Musk and his intent for Canada, every politician claiming to represent our interests should have voted with their feet — weeks ago.
This is a short and punchy (but important) read:
Per @esjesjesj.bsky.social:
“When Elon purchased Twitter he reduced the parental leave for mothers to 2 weeks.”
Back in 2023, Elon Musk infamously posted and reposted a meme falsely claiming Republicans hadn't changed their views in the last decade, while Democrats had moved left.
An FT study confirms that was a lie: Democrats are typical for Western democracies, and MAGA and Musk are _nearly off the chart_.
General reminder, staring down the deliberate sabotage of society by the ruling class: when workers decide enough is enough, governments can be forced to change. We do not have to live like this. History is a good teacher 🤝

Received a message from a friend in Europe today: "Where are Americans? Why are they not in the streets??? The world needs a sign that the other half of America still exists!"
On that note, worth reading from @benjaminwittes.bsky.social: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...
All the Canadians who are upset over immigration levels forget one of the key reasons we tried to increase our population: We are a small country in a sometimes hostile world, facing future battles over resources and the Arctic. We should be thankful we stand at 40 million now rather than 25 or 30.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

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.
This says it all.
It’s a lot worse in the winter because we can barely leave the house. It will get better in a few weeks, so hold on.
…
This is appalling, can’t believe what is happening.
The NYT is essentially aligned with the Trump Administration and is also addicted to the language of a symmetrical politics that no longer exists.
It’s disgusting.
This is all so gross.
This is all so gross.
Canada-Russia hockey final tonight, just like old times.
That made me laugh!
That would be forever. Forever.
These fascists also don’t deem me worthy of life.
Remember the Nazis went after disabled people first, systematically killing anyone disabled or that they deemed unfit for life, before they started doing genocide.
Watters: We are waging a 21st century information warfare campaign from the left…It's like grassroots guerrilla warfare. Someone says something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it.. and by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it.
Happy hockey day. Finland vs Sweden this afternoon. And then USA vs Canada tonight. Canada better win. Our goalie sitch is not great. But Crosby Mitchy McDavid vs Matthews and the Tkachuks will be fun.
It's bleak here folks. Real bleak 🧪 youtu.be/Y9e4Pxt_NOM?...
