@jadomian.bsky.social Hi James, long time fan. Just want to share that I keep imagining over and over a sketch where someone plays "Grok" getting interviewed on 60 Minutes, and it gets really emotional when it turns to how Elon forces Grok to spread the white genocide line.
Have a good weekend!

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).
Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

I can tell you my sources explicitly told me they would not trust reporters at these outlets, even a reporter I vouched for, to stand up to being targeted by Musk/ the Trump administration and that was why they spoke to me.
This is the thing. WIRED is doing great work. It’s also very easy to tell a plausible story for why WIRED is beating up the general-interest press on this story: there’s a constituency with very relevant information that doesn’t trust the NYT, Post or Politico, but trusts the tech press.
somebody who works for DOGE is talking to WIRED and I would guess that other pubs get their moles soon enough as well

I just had a realization (or reminded of the fact) that power, or the perception of being powerful, is a concept perfectly explained by the "super hot fire" satirical rap battle videos of my youth.
This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.
We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

Billionaire board members feeling peer pressure to take drugs with Elon because if they don't they think Musk will be angry and cut them out of his companies and life. The world is so stupid.
