- Mafia state
- This is catching a lot of heat and that's right. Maybe NBC thought it was giving Accurso a voice, but it did a character assassination instead. Ignoring whether readers should ever give a shit about what "some online critics" have to say, NBC didn't bother to identify one person behind the claims.
- As an avid NYT reader I have a hard time seeing how this is honestly corrupt since no one’s wearing a Hamburgler costume and carrying a comically large bag labeled “BRIBES”
- New: A VIP seat at Donald Trump's crypto dinner cost at least $2 million. The largest holders of Trump's memecoin have officially secured spots at the event: www.wired.com/story/trumpc...
- report on this yesterday by @dmehro.bsky.social:
- This seems to have only been a “protest” in the sense that he appeared personally to conduct an inspection, was denied entry & refused to accept that, which is why members of Congress came, because they can’t be lawfully turned away. This wasn’t Laura Loomer handcuffing herself to Twitter HQ.

OMB has illegally stopped sharing info whose entire purpose is to help ensure they follow budget laws. They're breaking a reporting law to facilitate breaking spending laws. Technical 🧵
- Reposted by Dell CameronI got the best teaching evals of my career for a large course last semester— along with three teaching awards— after rebuilding my intro class around in-class handwritten essays.

- It’s the primary reason for using the program. It’s like putting on a seatbelt and cutting the strap and expecting it to still save your life.
- This is so beyond stupid, to even use a service like this to begin with. The entire point of signal is that it’s end-to-end encrypted. Why enlist a third party? Why not just TEXT or scream your conversations over the phone in a crowded D.C. restaurant www.wired.com/story/tm-sig...
