Yes, the coverage is insanely antiseptic.

This is a crisis of existential proportions, but the headline on the Treasury story was "Senior U.S. official to exit after rift with Musk allies over payment system"

Rift!

Pretty antiseptic and matter of fact way of describing this, saying that Musk (notably *not* the president) has “installed” surrogates at agencies.
The clash reflects an intensifying battle between Musk and the federal bureaucracy as the Trump administration nears the conclusion of its second week. Musk has sought to exert sweeping control over the inner workings of the U.S. government, installing longtime surrogates at several agencies, including the Office of Personnel Management, which essentially handles federal human resources, and the General Services Administration, which manages real estate. (Musk was seen on Thursday visiting GSA, according to two other people familiar with his whereabouts, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal matters. That visit was first reported by the New York Times.) His Department of Government Efficiency, originally conceived as a nongovernmental panel, has since replaced the U.S. Digital Service.

The first thing I saw when I logged into TikTok was a charli d'amelio video. Did the algorithm reset or something?

I wonder what it feels like for non US citizens on TikTok right now. Notice any difference? Somewhere there is still is a lady on TikTok Live shucking coconuts, and a group of factory workers endlessly testing USB lights, and I'm missing it.

Makes sense that TikTok pushed users to Lemon8, even though they pulled the plug on it too, right? They leveraged the urgency to grow the app’s user base, and when TikTok comes back, Lemon8 will have captured market share against Pinterest & Instagram. 🧠 #lemon8 #tiktokban

Wait, it's the Silo Season 2 finale already? Ugh... I am just going to have to read the books.
