There's some fucking Bond villain stuff going on with Musk and his flunkies today. The media is not picking up on this, focusing on the Grammies and tariffs and the other distractions, while the criminals are compromising the core systems of our government. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Let the fascists break some things, and maybe the masses will wake up and oppose them. I'm not hopeful, though.

Some of us can remember when a megabyte was a lot. I worked as a student operator on an IBM mainframe in the 70's that had 1.5 mb removable hard disk packs. The drives were about the size of washing machines, and the packs were like a mini spare tire with a handle for lifting them.

The "market cap" of Tether has soared by over $15 billion since the election, "stable" coins backed by nothing.

The price is constantly manipulated by the creation of Tether stablecoins out of thin air, which are then used to "buy" bitcoins. And then the media states that the "price" rises, and a new batch of suckers lose their savings in the Ponzi scheme.
