thank you for the essential reporting. perhaps we will eventually pull out pen and paper and eliminate the techfeudalists with any luck? do any classic SF stories with a radical solution to tech problems come to mind? or would-be classics?

It's not government by shitty regression model, it's government by 4chan and the generation of human shaped garbage raised by Joe Rogan.

Thank you Brian for your reporting which is insightful and essential as always. Can I make two nerdy stylistic suggestions: firstly, type “DOGE”in quote marks, as that emphasises that it’s not a real government department. And secondly, don’t type “DEI” with or without quotes but say it in full: Diversity, equality and inclusion. The acronym is being increasingly weaponised as a bogeyman by the far right and I think typing it out in full helps remind people what it actually means.

Another maddening day of "flooding the zone", with, as you said, serious long term consequences.

I'm glad that I'm old and had a chance to live in a less crazy country. My poor kids will have to deal with it, but they're smart enough to gtfo of the USA if needed. It hurts my head too much. Thanks for continuing to document this disgusting garbage.
