This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.

TWENTY.

As in, they call that getting slammed.

So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

TWENTY is a lot.

Billionaire board members feeling peer pressure to take drugs with Elon because if they don't they think Musk will be angry and cut them out of his companies and life. The world is so stupid.

@nbcbayarea.com is there a reason you're not covering the protest that's supposed to be happening at Alex Padilla's SF offices today? Not scared to cover the will of the people, I hope.

They are not operating from a position of power. They're operating from a position of weakness.

Call them want they really are: HACKERS

This "DOGE engineers" thing is bullshit!

They are boy hackers! Plain and simple

This is 2016 Cambridge Analytics bullshit on steroids

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

If your article about "best event engagement strategies" includes the groundbreaking idea "speaker Q&A sessions" I am going to stop taking your content seriously.

@evgostock.bsky.social what is the point of your chargers if literally none of them ever work?

Don’t let anyone tell you this guy is popular or that the country is trending his way. Just isn’t true. Never was.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

90s kid app idea: you have to identify a song by only 10 seconds of distortion from the beginning or end of the song.

When democrats are in office, republicans warn "careful, they might tell people you've been behaving badly!"

When republicans are in office, democrats warn "careful, they may knock down your door and abduct you!"

The Trump Chaos Cuts are threatening the safety and well being of Americans everywhere—from our children and elderly, to police and veterans. The administration needs to provide answers now.

Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity

Trump: Trade war!

Colombia: OK

Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights

Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?

Trump: They gave in!

I know you mean Trump but I love the idea of Biden launching JOECOIN on his last weekend in office. 😂

Guess it's time to invest more in Bluesky and migrate off Threads...

... before Casey is expected to do a huge takedown on it.

Pretty sure that would all be pretty hl challenging to do in depth reporting on before the service truly went live (I believe the account deletion thing came out after Casey's piece). To be clear, I'm in no way advocating for Threads, just suggesting it makes more sense for it to be out a hot minute

Yeah, no clear vibe/vision yet. Bluesky's seems kinda accidental, but exudes safety and critical thought (and shit posting).

Yeah, worth noting that Google+ started with access to a big audience...

Was there much to rip to shreds yesterday? Did it not just launch?

Well, look, if I were the newly hired chief executive officer of a social media company, and if the directors and shareholders who brought me in as CEO had told me that my main mission was to turn around the company’s precarious financial situation by improving our position with advertisers, and if I spent my first few weeks reassuring advertisers and rebuilding relationships and talking up our site’s unique audience and powerful engagement, and then one day my head of software engineering came to me and said “hey boss, too many people were too engaged with too many posts, so I had to limit everyone’s ability to view posts on our site, just FYI,” I would … probably … fire ... him?
