Letter to Self:
Dear me,
the past will always stare.
That doesn’t mean you have to live there.
Stand where you are.

The future will decide its own shape.
Your job is to keep at it, embrace vulnerability, fight and stay.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

I’ve been feeling a particular affinity for the French these days … not just because I’ve watched Casablanca so many times lately that I know the words to the first verse of La Marseillaise forward and backward

You first.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?
