They're going to "deport" Afghan translators and other workers who helped US troops during the war and basically let the Taliban kill them en masse.
That's the American way. "We're done with you, now fcuk off and die."

DOGE has been a FLOP, now disbanded 8 months early. Greatly exaggerating their "success" Trump and Musk lied to the taxpayers, never delivering a cent back to them. The real impact: slashing research, endangering public health, removing competent public servants, & creating chaos.

Musk said the initiative would save at least $1 trillion. But its website claims to have reached only $214 billion.

Listening to the audiobook of Barbra's autobio and WOW had no idea The Way We Were was so butchered—I mean, I too thought the breakup made no sense and the political content was rushed, but they also pushed out the real tragedy of this story, which is Katie losing herself, in favor of nostalgia.

"maybe the real prize is the friends we made along the way. The international readers, the incredible connections, the miracle of literature as it traverses the borders of language itself — a miracle I have the privilege of partaking in every time I sit down to translate."💙

Nick Clegg is well-hated but also oddly not hated enough
Nick Clegg was skeptical that the bad news could all be explained away by declaring that users were conditioned to be negative toward Meta, and an unnamed employee confirmed that this wasn’t plausible. An employee compared the decision to bury the findings Big Tobacco-reminiscent.

This is essentially what people think “post-editing AI translation” jobs are, instead of the reality which is “redo the translation from scratch and get paid less for it”
The important thing is that net happiness goes up.
