I'm thankful for all the technologists, FOIA officers, parks workers, public health researchers, criminal investigators, and countless other civil servants who have kept diligently doing their jobs under extreme duress. This year has been bad but it could have been so, so much worse.

Something I keep thinking about in convos about 'when to leave' is that finances really ARE an insurmountable barrier for people, as are qualifications (e.g. 'digital nomad' visas are great, but what if you're a barista, or a pipefitter?), and, of course, disability penalties.

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.
