It's hard to see why access means so much to these hacks. They could write their reports without it:
"In the Oval Office today Donald Trump produced a mixture of incoherent drivel, self-aggrandising lies, and bigoted insults. He answered questions only from dedicated arse-kissers."

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

Overthrow Wyt Christian Supremacism
The White Christian Supremacism of this administration is so extreme that it seems like it’s got to resolve with either a massive rejection of such illiberalism, or a violent, authoritarian imposition of it.

Promulgating right wing conspiracy theories

That's DOGE
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

Solution-shaped objects considered harmful (after Dijkstra).
Solutions should be centred on your values. Many so-called solutions to social problems reveal an appallingly anti-humanist set of values.
There are many solutions to homelessness. Many of those solutions are evil.

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.
