I especially love how this decision was 5-4 that the government has to honor a contract it signed, and the MAGA folks are upset that the government can't simply scam everyone and everything.

Why is this even a question?

Headline should read: "Musk, Trump, spouting BS numbers about budget, immigration, and literally everything else they do."

Change the date, you can run the same story every day.

That's the feature! Not a bug.

The new reddit design sucks and always has, other than dark mode.

I've spent a career in places with very little rule of law or effective governance.

The only thing that can give you a sliver of hope is to physically be close to a community that is tight-knit and competent homesteaders. This is African village rules. Force and money are all that matters. Life is cheap. Food is scarce and untrustworthy unless you farm it yourself. Cities are nightmares of abuse with pockets for the super-wealthy behind walls.

Real life examples like Lagos are hard to explain to Americans. Parable of the Sower gets close and is a book worth a read.

You're missing that this is a loyalty test.

It's not about finding out this info. It's about finding out who is willing to be the Reek in all the new House Bolton-style fiefdoms. That's why people only have 10 days to rat out colleagues, they want lists of trustworthy loyalists by the time mid-tier appointees get into the office.

I believe that a clickbait title about 400 idiot people starting the first lesson in Duolingo and then quickly quitting without deleting their accounts is the through line here.

Wait...purchase? With what money? All that savings from Elon's DOGE fantasy that hasn't done anything yet?

Zuck just realized that his main FB user base is older conservative people that he can either lose even more to X and Gab, or he can let FB turn into the wild west the users want.

His IG user base is stable, young, and left-leaning. So he still has those users in another segment of the business until some mass exodus to pixelfed that won't every really happen.
