But if you EVER, for even a second, dreamed of getting your Hogwarts letter: not one single goddamn penny to J.K. Rowling ever again.
Her fantasy was never the flood of letters and the joy that would always find you. It was the power to shut somebody up in a cupboard under the stairs.

DOGE Is Xitter Files for Government - emptywheel
Until someone confesses differently, we need to treat Elon Musk's role in DOGE as exclusively one of propaganda, spinning false tales of corruption from decontextualized files Musk doesn't understand.
