I miss the old Twitter but hate all the Nazis and horrible people there now. PNW / Seattle but formerly Chicago (Sox not Cubs), too many books on my TBR list, and still listening to vinyl.

Exactly. I meant just defining the scope and requirements could take two years easily on something that big. It’s years long to develop and test.

As someone who has worked in IT for 25 years this would be funny if it didn’t impact people’s lives and cause harm. Months? Maybe months to just do discovery and requirements (where you figure out it’s really a two year project)

The existence of "Houthi PC Small Group" guarantees that there are myriad other such threads on every other national security and policy decision being made. Not just a threat to national security, but a threat to the maintenance of official records and public accountability.

Thank you so much for the gift of this show. Season 2 has been worth that grueling wait and I’m so sad I won’t have new episodes to look forward to next week.

Why does his stupid face always have this dumb expression while he’s speaking. His ugly mouth is always shaped like an O. Why? It’s not normal.

How do people sit there and not ask him WTF is he talking about? Can someone please start pushing back on his nonsense? Hit him with facts like this on camera. This is a reality TV episode for him.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill.

People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games.

They know exactly what is going on.

Defend Medicaid.
Vote NO on Cloture.
NO on bill.

As he promoted Tesla vehicles at the White House today, Trump carried notes on the pricing of each model.

"Teslas can be purchased as low as $299/month or $35K"

No one had died of measles in America for ten years, until yesterday.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.

America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Did people really like him though? Or did they just think he was someone genuinely interested in making a positive impact on the environment and that made him likeable? People genuinely thought he invented the Tesla and SpaceX like he was a super genius that was going to help climate change.

I’ve hated this guy for quite a while, well before I listened to him talk nonsense. How are so many people bamboozled by him? Are they privately cringing or do they think he’s actually cool? I do not get it. He’s like a preteen edgelord with his speech and humor.

Measles outbreak in Texas rises to at least 58 cases β€” the state's worst in over 30 years A measles outbreak in Texas​ has led to 58 confirmed cases, making it the state's worst in over 30 years β€” and local health officials say additional cases​ are likely to occur.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children.

We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread.

Twitter exchange in which a user makes fun of Musk for not understanding how SQL works and falsely claiming the government doesn't use SQL

Twitter exchange in which a user makes fun of Musk for not understanding how SQL works and falsely claiming the government doesn't use SQL

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)
