Anyone who knows anything about systems analysis will tell you this rewrite needs to be done properly and that will take years. Call you representatives and say no to DOGE doing another crappy job. www.wired.com/story/doge-r...

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse

Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Trump's Kennedy Center canceled a concert planned for May 21 that was to feature the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC, performing alongside the National Symphony Orchestra. No explanation was given.

No explanation was given, the chorus says: "We regret that this opportunity has been taken away."

I deleted my earlier response as I had misread the title of the article - I thought the GMC had cancelled their show and I was applauding that. But just wow that the Kennedy center has cancelled them. Outrageous and something to be very very worried about.

Per this @theguardian.com article, if Tesla stock drops, it affects 1/3 of Musk's wealth. 1/3 is in SpaceX, which is totally enmeshed in the federal government.

We need to find ways to drag down SpaceX.

Stupefied I think although there are some people doing excellent work. I feel numb and am reeling at the same time - each bit of bad news like whiplash. Got to stop burying my head and try to do something useful and effective but don’t know what.
