Well, I guess they really do want to take us back to the 1950s

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

It could mean that the world financial system melts down when investors realize that Elon Musk may selectively default on US debt. Just saying.

Board member of META asks a very good question.

Hello non-technical people. Just a heads up. Musk isn’t a programmer, a systems architect, or anyone with experience building or running large systems of any kind. However, he’s taken credit for others binding large systems which makes him think he’s That Guy. He is not.

Unfortunately, many people have little time to think about any of this. They are working two jobs etc. They attach to one or two talking points and they vote. They are not thinking five steps ahead.

Oops 😬

I can't wait to see KID ROCK at the Kennedy Center! 🔥🤘

Oh David Socks has something to say

Public Service: The Backbone of American Democracy An email recently sent to federal employees by Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was not only tone-deaf but emblematic of a profound misunderstanding of public service. T…

Republicans block Musk from congressional subpoena as DOGE continues to access government data As Elon Musk continues to dismantle government agencies, threaten workers with layoffs and gain access to government data, congressional Republicans on Wednesday blocked Democratic efforts to compel h...

Why are congress members impressed that Musk "fixed" X? It was always a poorly run company. And from current performance, it still is.

"Elon Musk trimmed fat on X, and we have the chance to do same here," Comer said about Musk's deep cuts at the social media giant.

Steve Ballmer is matching FireAid donations from everyone during the benefit concert.

That’s how you billionaire.

By supporting fellow Americans, not selling them out.

What got me was the people on United 93 died preventing an attack on our Capitol on 9/11, then these asshats attack it “from the inside”.

Trump’s Crypto Venture Divides the Industry He Aims to Support (Gift Article) The president’s promotion of a speculative digital coin left some crypto investors feeling blindsided, while others saw it as a gimmick that undermined the industry’s credibility.

Crypto bros fretting that Trump getting rich off of a meme coin undermines the credibility of the crypto industry is like meth dealers being worried Walter White made their profession look bad.

The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!

That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

Tragic reality: Another school shooting today barely makes headlines, while billionaire feuds dominate our news cycle. Clearly, we have our priorities figured out.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.

Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.

Great points. The conferences are a mess in my opinion. It is at least a two tiered system now.

I question rankings we all pay attention to all season long. Maybe embrace the inherent tiering, and implement something similar to how the Premier League works.

Maybe our outrage says more about our dependency than their decisions.

The intensity of our outrage at tech leaders (Musk, Zuck) reveals an uncomfortable truth:

We've become so dependent on these platforms that we react with personal betrayal to their leaders' decisions - despite our long-standing skepticism of both the platforms and their leadership.

What does it say about the College Football rankings that we have #7 playing #8 for the championship. And every one of the top 4 teams lost their first game? #cfb #ncaa #ncaaf

I’ve never understood how this works in practice. As a hiring manager, I would expect you to query the referrer about how they know the candidate and why they are recommending them. If you don’t do this as a hiring manager, then the benefit of the program is suspect at best.

Fried Rice. Throw a couple overeasy eggs on top… golden.

Are our social media selves a true reflection, or a bid to fit into our 'tribes'? Would love to hear your thoughts on this! #OnlineBehavior 5/5

How do we navigate friendships and discussions when our online and real-world personalities don’t always match? 🤷‍♂️ #IdentityCheck 4/5
