On July 17 I cut off tech I cannot in good conscious engage. That means this is the last Bluesky post, as I'm disabling the bridge I use from ActivityPub. As they say, 9 people may sit at the table without objection, but not I. If future people look back I have no regrets, because: At least I tried.

Misappropriation of funds redirected to a group disguised as federal empls under an "agency" banner not duly authorized by law?
Sounds like a fraud being perpetrated to me, & any citizen being harmed by such an agency for lack of funds who diverted funds to DOGE has standing.

Reminder #Fediverse folks: When your engagement is higher in the big commercial platforms (clicks, reshares), that’s because it’s not from or going to actual people.
60% of reshares in some platforms are by bots. (1/5)

Lemme explain it this way: a coup of the coup just happened using computers, like that scene in Rick & Morty where they can’t figure out what to do because Rick hacked into the entire money system. This is the Fed govt of both parties right now: youtu.be/noQsHiTJAXo

Ensuring user safety at scale takes massive resources. That’s why we’re excited to partner with ROOST—helping smaller orgs enhance safety, meet regulations, and compete. More safety, more competition, more user choice.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Also shout out to the National Park Service for once again being the first ones paying attention and brave enough to mobilize to defend the Constitution. They’re letting foreign cyber agents pilfer the US financial system and nobody doing jack shit except the park rangers? Pathetic.

So what *exactly* is the thing that would motivate you personally to drop what yer doing and react to cyber criminals successfully committing fraud to infiltrate the entire US Treasury system?
Whatever that thing is friend, that’s way too late.

Don’t let them bury the lead. Scammers jacked an unauthorized email server into the network and then pretended to be a fed agency emailing. Then panic locked ppl out/stole ppl’s phones when caught to hide it. This was cybercrime/fraud/theft of the US Treasury. @democrats-judiciary.house.gov

How was everybody’s #GlobalSwitchDay ? Did you try new #ActivityPub things, help people to explore stuff, or learn some cool stuff? Exploring the #Fediverse with friends is a very direct way to do something positive for yourself and others.

If you have elderly neighbors or neighbors with disabilities that might make clearing snow difficult, now is the time to check on them and make sure their vents are clear along with their walkways and driveways.
