@jangelooff Public servants really ought to face harsher criminal penalties than regular citizens. This stuff is poison to the idea of a social contract.
Yeah the Trump administration needs to own this 100%
The "Cut Spending Cut Spending Cut Spending" crowd just targeted really good worthwhile programs, the deficit is higher than ever, and now we're seeing the effects of letting teenagers and Elon Musk LARP as libertarian budgeters
Never let these idiots touch power again
@TECleveland @cremieuxrecueil I can see the DOGE tweet: "We canceled a contract for Panamanian screwworms, saving $165 million dollars!!!" [https://t.co/Bip6tKzkG1]

@natesheetsforTX@USDA Government is very serious business, ideally it's populated by boring experts tracking screw worms and diseases and climate change. People who call their opponents "communist" are not the type of serious person fit to deliver good governance.

I've been playing around with cellphone video as an input to algorithms that generate plotter drawings lately. Here are 200 sequential frames of me checking out a Japanese Maple in my backyard.
@RonDeSantis In a healthy democracy there would be zero tolerance for conspiracy mongering like this. Low-class trashy Florida man stuff for people who don't know how anything works. Gross
@Garrett_Archer "There are widespread reports" = "thousands of automated social media accounts are saying it". Some of them simply do it because it's an easy way to get paid by Elon for engagement. Anything that can go viral, will go viral, because it's free money.
@Noahbolanowski The artists and train companies have an unofficial agreement, they are careful not to obscure any of the important labels on the train cars.
@Tchandler7105@GumbyPI@SeanTrende The difference is Obama didn't rape kids or tariff the entire economy or start a war of choice with a regional power or sue the country for a billion dollars or sell pardons to fraudsters etc
