Bloat@Brown Web site created using create-react-app

So a wannabe DOGEr at Brown Univ from the conservative student paper took the univ org chart and ran it through an AI aglo to determine which jobs were "BS" in his estimation and then emailed those employees/admins asking them what tasks they do and to justify their jobs. bloat.brownspectator.com

Democrats consistently fear Republicans more than their base of voters. it's why they cave.

I’m not sure that the Trump Democrats strategy of letting the bully take their lunch money today in the hopes the bully will be nice to them tomorrow will be all that effective

A glimmer of irrational political hope I just felt was looking at Tesla's stock plummeting and thinking about what I would probably do if I lost $100 billion in four months.

Republicans won't have town halls because they face backlash? Dems should volunteer in every district to host town halls in their place.

Fill the vacuum these GOP cowards are leaving, @housedemocrats.bsky.social!

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

I'm not saying all Democrats should show up to his address tonight with their ringtones set to "We're in the middle of a hostile government takeover..."

But I *am* saying it would be hilarious if they did.

Mass firings of probationary federal workers begin at NOAA, including many in Boulder Employees received emails Thursday informing them of their abrupt termination, despite a U.S. District Court ruling calling such firings’ legality into question

This is a cartogram map of the United States depicting land use by different categories. The map distorts state shapes to represent proportional land usage. Key land use types include cow pasture/range (covering much of the central U.S.), private and federal timberland in the Pacific Northwest, corporate timberland in the Southeast, and urban housing/commercial areas in the Northeast. Other categories include agriculture (livestock feed, wheat exports, ethanol/biodiesel, cotton), protected lands (national parks, federal wilderness, state parks), and infrastructure (railroads, airports, highways). Additional specialized land uses include wildfires, golf courses, Christmas tree farms, and maple syrup production.

Headline and summary of a substack post by Jakob Nielsen.

Title: Hello AI Agents: Goodbye UI Design, RIP Accessibility
Date: Feb 21, 2025

Summary: Autonomous agents will transform user experience by automating interactions, making traditional UI design obsolete, as users stop visiting websites in favor of solely interacting through their agent. Focus on designing for agents, not humans. Accessibility will disappear as a concern for web design, as disabled users will only use an agent that transforms content and features to their specific needs.
