Why are the feds and state regulators making moves to ban VPNs? Do they represent an individual security threat or a collective one?

This is such an astoundingly bad idea that I kinda think it’s a false flag or an op of some sort
Merits aside, it is insanely easy to be caught if you do this and the punishment for doing this is much more severe than you’d guess.

I am sick of a world where everyone can be a journalist, a message is amplified based on the quantity of response not the quality of it. We are in a combinatorial social science experiment where the aim is to test to destruction.

The world is full of young men who lived dissolute lives, who think as they approach middle age, that ideological rigidity and moral posturing are the path back to self-respect and redemption.

A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

In medicine they are called "risk factors" and, of course, you want all "important" risk factors in your model all the time
Unless a risk factor is not statistically significant then you can drop that factor without issues

If you are a medic that follows this advice, you get a professorship. If you are a statistician following this advice, you get laughed at (until you rebrand as a data scientist 😘).

If anyone in the DoD did even a single one of the moronic things DOGE has done, let alone all of them, the govt would strip their clearance, chop their body into 100 pieces, and sentence each piece to 20 years in Leavenworth.
DOGE’s federal property sell-off has accidentally revealed a CIA black site in Northern Virginia, according to Bloomberg.
