What a grim paragraph www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...
The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing Social Security's "death master file," which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the government believes should be treated as if they are dead. As a result of being added to the death database, they would be blacklisted from a coveted form of identity that allows them to make and spend money.

With the social media landscape artists depend on crumbling into a big lake of shite, now's a good time to mention I've a newsletter with snippets of Irish folklore & history, doodles, and fun nonsense, with zero involvement from fascist billionaires.
