It was never really about cutting overall spending - that was the grift. It was destroying disliked programs, securing lucrative contracts, stealing valuable data, and further decreasing trust in government - all of which were quite successful

Please god, let's get more physical buttons back in our lives. Touchscreens are great for some things.. but in cars? Mostly not so much.
tired: everything's computer
wired: fewer things will be computer
wired: fewer things will be computer
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

This might be one of the most fucked up things I've encountered recently.
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

It’s very very frustrating to know that there isn’t much chance of any accountability for this behavior after Trump
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

In 2021 I dressed in full PPE and held my phone to an intubated 45 year old man's ear while his daughter said goodbye to him.
I truly don't believe in hell but sometimes I wish I did.

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

"So you see, consumer? It's mostly your fault for wanting things conveniently! It's not the fault of the company CEOs that supported the election of a president that blocks progress on climate change, or the fact that there's no reasonable rail network, or that delivery bikes aren't a thing here."🤡
When customers choose faster shipping and earlier delivery dates, the system shifts from optimized routing to whatever gets the package out fastest, and that means higher emissions, said Sreedevi Rajagopalan, a research scientist at MIT.

Fast shipping has environmental impact as delivery becomes more polluting
Fast shipping has become a staple of online shopping, promising delivery within a day or even hours.

Do we only have this because it came back? Who else did he send suicide notes/confessions to?
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
