I know there's more important stuff going on, but this is the clearest evidence ever that the editorial board at WaPo are just the stupidest people ever.

Look, folks, I'm also excited by the prospect of Talarico making a run at office, but it's insane and toxic to take this as an opportunity to shit on Allred. Allred has a good track record and has always been very responsive to the people he represents. Just fucking stop ragging on a good man.

The folks at MITRE deal with software security as their entire livelihood, and they have a good vantage point to understand this kind of thing. Here’s a good article that doesn’t say anything novel, but it says it all very well and in one place. queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?i...

I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
called the blood of the exploited working class. But they've overcome their shyness now; they're calling me "Your Highness," and the world screams "Kiss me, Son of God."

There’s actually a subtle brilliance at play here. If you rely on the dimmest people to put and keep you in power, you can tell them the stupidest shit and they will completely lack the mental capacity to detect the lie.
My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

As @owillis.bsky.social says, FIGHT AND WIN.
JUST IN: USDA informs states they will comply with court order and release SNAP funds as court battle drags out. Funds could be available as soon as today.
