Going to be posting on bluesky more and probably not checking twitter much. Same handle. It was fun, but it’s time to admit I fell out of love years ago.

This already exists. It is called the Government Accountability Office. Musk's proposition is not that a public entity should monitor federal spending for waste. It is that he - an unaccountable private citizen - should be able to cancel spending that he deems wasteful at will
On a separate note, it appears that DOGE is trying to do a line by line item, agency by agency audit of the United States government to eliminate fraud, redundancy, and unnecessary contractors. If that is the case, this needs to be applauded.

I’ll miss TikTok. To me it was such a safe space to go when I felt down or alone. Made me realize how many people went through the same things I did. It wasn’t as much about dancing or influencers as it was seeing women express things I never could tell anyone.

faster than i thought. après Zuck le déluge
what i anticipate will happen is Zuckerberg going all out with his views will give license to a greater number of CEOs and executives who have been too nervous to talk openly about how they feel (and hew far more to conservatism than they let on in corporate memos)

The U.S. government stood up to TikTok before they stood up to Netanyahu, or the health insurance lobby, or big pharma, or big oil—no. TikTok. Completely out of touch with the American people. Both parties.
TikTok announces it will shut down in the US on January 19th unless the Supreme Court strikes down or delays law requiring it to be sold.

I think American leftism is too Christian in its way of organizing Very focused on people's sins and misdeeds Not good at disagreeing constructively with people that agree on 90% of the teachings Individualistic Either too Utopian or apocalyptic
