It's not, is my point.

They're burrowed in like ticks, as Wired put it.
A lot of people seem to think DOGE is over.
We already had a functioning US Digital Service. It was created by Obama in 2014 to improve the design, cohesion, and usability of federal online services. This bastardization is mostly a handout to AI cos and trump’s billionaire tech backers, and a large part of trump’s HUGE Obama envy.

I’m thrilled and proud to have my story included in the newest issue of khoreo! This is a dream pub for me. I hope you’ll grab a copy and read all the wonderful stories inside 💕

Please check the CWs. Inspired by a tragic Thai spirit, my story of generational trauma was a tough one to write.
In "The Body is a Cage Opened Only By Fire" by @jawmccarthy.bsky.social, a woman returns to burn the last of her mother’s body, in the wake of her mother’s death. An effort to escape a dark entity that has sealed itself to the bones of three generations of Thai women.

The fact that not a single reporter tells Mike Johnson “let me read it for you” or “here it is” when he claims he hasn’t seen or doesn’t know a thing about the psychotic ramblings of the head of state is not only a dereliction of journalistic duty, but a display of pure cowardice.

what if we lock these guys inside of a
museum until they develop some respect for art or the statues come alive at night and eat them. either way, just get this shit out of my face.

Furnando, the grey fox, levitating as one does when you're a fox. 😁

I love how fast the trigger is on this camera along with the rapid fire photos which allows me to get these kind of shots as he leaps away from the camera area.

It's incredible how many zillionaires we produced because they were either the first or luckiest guys in the field of The Obvious Thing For the Computer. Amazon, Steam, Paypal, Facebook—basic sales infrastructure everyone had been discussing since at least the '80s.
The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.

He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!
