They say you are what you eat, but I don't recall eating a disgruntled elderly woman.

I may follow back, but not just because you followed me. Feel free not to follow me, really. And if you've already followed 10s of 1000s of accounts, I'm blocking you.

Musk's people infiltrated the GSA technology arm early on and demanded root-level access to computer systems, trying to circumvent normal security procedures. Here's one example where they pushed so hard they forced someone to resign rather than give in.

Why did they do this?

DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

The thing on the right looks like a piece of popped corn, wtf.

Ugh. What do you call it when you're disappointed in someone you already didn't think that highly of in the first place? There should be a word for that, it would be so useful these days.

Wait, are you telling me that there are women in the world who become attracted to men for stupid, fucked-up, largely delusional reasons? The hell you say! Well, this is certainly a shocker, and something worth thinking about in depth.
