Agreed. Cynicism is NOT intellectually superior. It’s unoriginal, boring, and privileged.

Government Tech Workers Forced to Defend Projects to Random Elon Musk Bros A recent high school graduate and former Neuralink intern has joined meetings to review lines of code and other work history of career public servants, sparking chaos at a major government agency.

Trump's birthright citizenship EO is an attack on the rule of law The Constitution couldn't be clearer. Will SCOTUS care?

New in PN: Trump's birthright citizenship EO is an attack on the rule of law

"It’s tempting to presume SCOTUS will treat this craven xenophobia with the disrespect it deserves and swiftly smack it down. But this is the same Court that gave Trump a blank check to commit crimes, so all bets are off."

NY, NJ immigration enforcement offices now have quotas. It's 75 arrests a day or else, report says. The targets were handed down on Saturday after a middling start to President Trump's promised mass deportation push, the Washington Post reported.

Immigrants are real people, with families and jobs and lives — not “quotas” for ICE agents.

Rounding up people en masse like this is cruel, dehumanizing, and ignorant of due process - something every single person in the U.S. is entitled to, no matter their immigration status.

Everything’s about to get so much worse, so it seems like a good day to repost this.

AOC: Trans girls are girls. And for all the folks that are so concerned, thank you for your concern for women for the first time. I don't know who has been to gym class, I’ve played co-ed sports all the time

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

It's a video about starting again. Rebuilding a network here after Elon Musk took it from all of us on X to serve his ego.

Free Our Feeds Wants to Make Social Media Billionaire-Proof A new $30 million campaign aims to ensure no single wealthy individual can control how we connect online.

"Is $30 million enough to transform social media? Maybe not on its own. But it's a start, and it's a concrete plan rather than just complaining about the status quo." via @parkermolloy.com www.readtpa.com/p/free-our-f...

‘Which Time Were You Lying?’: The Great CEO Flip-Flop Over Trump Hits Davos The World Economic Forum’s extravaganza thought it was done with Trump. Now he’s back — and heads of state, Wall Street billionaires and tech moguls are falling in line.

"Now, with the return of Trump, many appear to be willing to do what it takes to protect and advance their interests. If that means abandoning, at least for now, some of the ideas celebrated at Davos, so be it." Equality, diversity, climate change...are now on hold

after spending nearly an hour this morning looking for a freaked out cat, we officially loathe fireworks.

spill is what you get when the best of twitter go off to start their own club

wild how everyone wants to be antifascist but only with the convenience of a vc-backed app lol

a twitter clone is what passes for “disruptive innovation” in tech circles

twitter is like your old neighborhood. rundown and infested with rats, the slumlord and his hanger ons are creepy af but still we keep going back for those we left behind, the memories, and the nonstop drama

Aw adorable. Mine is all cuteness until you try to take him anywhere and he starts screaming bloody murder.

Thanks Daniel! 😅

reality shows are a reminder that the ultra rich are not all that interesting unless you are into overpriced tacky things and bankruptcies

from twitter to the twitter clone is not how i expected the social media experience to evolve

just saw my cat fall off the bed and he’s still smarter than what passes for genius in tech bro world
