Recall that Time did the same for Hitler in 1938 and at least had a good idea of what was happening when they did because it's "most influential" not "most beneficial", and it always has been. It's not about whether or not Time's editors approve of the featured people.

An American was just elected to be the lifetime appointed sovereign of the smallest nation on Earth. Congratulations, Bobby Prevost!

(I mean no disrespect. I just like to absurdly recontextualize things)

Yes, children die from childhood diseases. Diseases that are preventable through safe and effective vaccines.

It is only going to get worse. So buckle up.

Next question: should parents be held liable?

You mean from the guy who said he would revolutionize public transit but instead managed to reinvent the subway tunnel, but crappier? I don't buy it.

Can any democrat explain why there are millions of names in the social security database aged 100-150? Terence Clark's answer: I have worked in data as a database developer, data warehouse developer, integrations developer, BI developer, and database Administrator at various companies and state organiz...

Here's a writeup I did on Quora for why the "millions of 150 year olds receiving social security benefits" thing is nonsense.

Farmers Sue Over Deletion of Climate Data From Government Websites The data, which disappeared from Agriculture Department sites in recent weeks, was useful to farmers for business planning, the lawsuit said.

More good signs that traditional Trump power bases aren't happy with what DOGE is up to.

Justice Dept. to Drop Discrimination Case Against Elon Musk’s SpaceX The Justice Department had sued SpaceX in 2023, accusing the company of violating federal law by refusing to hire refugees and people granted asylum in the United States.

No conflicts of interest here. None, whatsoever

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

Judge calls rare hearing on a holiday in case against Musk's DOGE The case was brought by Democratic state attorneys general.

Finally, a broad based ruling that would shut them out of an array of departments. If they want to do this, pass a law creating DOGE, and get congress to approve Musk.

"But congress will never approve this!"

Yeah, maybe there's a reason for that.

For the record, I don't condone or excuse visa fraud by anyone, regardless of national origin. This is not me saying that's okay. This is me saying it's woefully insufficient to prove your case

But we're not talking about individual companies, now are we? We're talking about systemic, 99% fraudulent issues. Got any evidence of that? Or just individual anecdotes? Someone in the tech world would know enough about data to know that a single data point does not a trendline make

Database developer for 21 years who's never hired, fired, or exploited anyone. Never even held the title manager at any level. Apparently someone doesn't like their worldview challenged. I'm guessing you haven't worked in tech at all, given your ignore the problem and it'll go away approach.

I'm in the tech world. Been here for 20+years. No castles or ivory towers in my world. I've worked with plenty of people from overseas. Never seen what you're talking about. Certainly not 99%. Go back to screaming at Fox News.

Hope is the most tenacious of virtues. It's more than a desperate wish. It's a stand against adversity that refuses to yield to pessimism and defeat. Hope is no small thing to hold or to give.

That is somehow the exact sort of ludicrous bs I'd expect would happen to you. Hope you're alright, though!

Battles don't always happen in rainstorms. Murders don't always happen in dark alleys. Coups aren't always chaos in the streets. Sometimes the sun shines on a world falling apart.

Judge appears likely to block DOGE from accessing Treasury Department records A judge said Wednesday said was inclined to issue a temporary injunction blocking Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from accessing taxpayer records.

It never was voluntary

The anti-Musk protests right now at the Wisconsin state Capitol.

Ron Johnson's office is open and they were quite polite. There were only four other constituents there, all for pretty much the same reason.

Please, if you can show up to the offices of your representatives or senators, show up. If you can't show up, call. If you can't call, send a message.

On another social media platform after the election I addressed my republican friends, telling them that if they're wrong about Trump, and he acts on his worst impulses, they better be at the protests.

That time is now.

I plan to stop by Senator Ron Johnson's office after a work meeting I have shortly. I'll report back what I find when I get there.

Gang, we need to make this personal for our representatives. If you can, don't just email, or even call. Show up to representatives' offices. Make lines out the door, down the hall, and around the block. They can't ignore us on their doorsteps demanding they give us our government back.

A Legal Counteroffensive to Beat Back Trump’s Government Purges A raft of new lawsuits contend that President Trump and Elon Musk are breaking the law to ransack the F.B.I. and other federal agencies. The courts will now decide.

Let's hope it's got some teeth and that they comply with court orders. What I'm looking for is some sign of checks and balances functioning on some level. Clawing back the rule of law.
