He should go further. Trump should have to not just stop, but publicly repudiate what he has said about Canada becoming a state.

The Gulf of Mexico name change, I think, was always intended to be a shibboleth. So he can quickly tell who is pliant and who is not.

I don’t know the school’s rules for unofficial or off-campus activities but could they continue as private groups, not under the school’s sponsorship? Then in some brighter future the school could sponsor them again.

This is so outrageous if true that I really want to see confirmation of it β€” a statement by someone who saw it directly and took that photo or at least by someone who knows them directly, if they need to keep their name a secret.

This could be a case of malicious compliance to demonstrate the absurdity of the order. But a protest is the natural response regardless.

A reminder for any Republican that ever wants to run for office again: he was talking about unilaterally cutting Social Security payments just a few weeks ago.

What a perfect scenario in which to spam US government employees. As if a regular administrative transition weren’t chaotic enough.

Peng Cheng Labs was listed by BIS's Entity List last week. The facility like supports offensive research on behalf of China's hacking teams. Specifically, the lab very likely supports the recreation of targeted networks for attackers to rehearse operations before conducting them.

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

Current life is not annoying in its cynicism but rather the lack of exactitude of its mechanisms so let’s do the fucking math for them.

If our economy is primarily driven by attention, then let’s quantify attention, a quantum of attention is an β€˜attenum’ (plural β€˜atteni’).
