@briankrebs What nobody is talking about is

Hegseth: POTUS retains 24 hour decision space
Steven Miller: nah man, POTUS is golfing. I know what the President wants, just do it.

@GossiTheDog ... wouldn't using disappearing messages also be a violation of the Federal Records Act?

Damn, I miss the days when America was a constitutional democracy.

@infobeautiful

I've known about this for a while but a piece of the puzzle is missing for me: what's the endgame?

What happens to the debt and collateral when the debtee dies? Is the debt called? Or does the whole arrangement transfer to the next generation?

Let me see if I've got this right:

1. Unelected billionaire Elon Musk has seized the power of the purse from the legislative branch of government,

2. He's firing, selling, and destroying every agency and program, except.

3. If you're a Republican (and only a Republican) you can call him and maybe he'll give your pet program a special exemption.

This is not a constitutional democracy.

@mpace965 @vampiress @codinghorror I was meh on this movie.

"Young people with beautiful bodies having bad sex" wasn't a turn on for me.

A quick reminder that the Electoral College only exists at the insistence of the slave states and the 3/5ths compromise.

Good old racism, America's original sin, continues to bite us all in the ass to this day.

@GottaLaff I'm happy that the Philadelphia DA is getting out ahead of the wave of idiotic shit that is coming tomorrow. I'm just worried that a bunch of innocent people are going to get hurt in the process.

@jeffowski

Bring back the 91% top incremental tax rate. Make American government great again.

@GossiTheDog intended as a serious question, not snark:

When I push a kernel update to prod I have a gradual rollout plan that lets me canary the change and roll it back, say, before the pager outside the CEOs hot tub goes off.

Did Cloudstrike just not do that, or is there some technical reason (latency between deployment and failure) that this common strategy failed?

@gwensnyder We have:

* Antisemitic attacks pretending to be political critique, as well as

* Legitimate political critique being dismissed as antisemitism.

Zero space in between for thoughtfulness, compassion, or nuance.

What a train wreck.

@th a new @ann_leckie book? Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

@kaia I'm gonna guess that's a Remarkable.

Lessons, living with parents with dementia: when an app on their phone spontaneously changes it's icon, it's a fucking disaster.

Some Google engineer launched a feature that got them a promotion and now my mom can't use her phone anymore. Silicon Valley is incapable of imagining a user who isn't a 27 year old white man.
