Some estimates put the number of children killed by Elon's decimation of USAID at 300,000.The chaos created by DOGE also had an associated cost which, by some estimates, completely wipes out any savings they generated.So Elon Musk killed 300,000 children for nothing.#uspol https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/opinion/elon-musk-doge-usaid.html?unlocked_article_code=1.LE8.M8Vw.raMdU_L48AEh&smid=bs-share

Dear Elon Musk:Speaking as a maintainer of the most popular pure Rust implementations of the secp256k1 elliptic curve and SHA-256 hash function, there is no encryption in Bitcoin, only hashing and digital signatures.You should probably be looking at Signal, oh wait you’re too busy spreading disinformation about nonexistent backdoors.

Supreme Court restores DOGE’s access to sensitive Social Security data and says it doesn’t have to turn over documentsThe Supreme Court handed the Department of Government Efficiency a pair of significant wins on Friday, allowing the entity to access sensitive Social Security data for millions of Americans while simultaneously pausing an effort to look into whether it is subject to a key transparency law.#uspolhttps://www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/politics/supreme-court-restores-doges-access-to-sensitive-social-security-data

While I've enjoyed Gavin Newsom trolling Trump, I'm getting really sick of people defending him as a presidential candidate when he thought it was a great idea to embrace MAGA on his podcast and throw trans people under the bus.The South Park guys tore Charlie Kirk a new one for being a piece of human detritus, a real-life version of Cartman. Gavin thought it would be fun to have Charlie Kirk on his podcast where they trashed trans athletes together.Fuck Gavin Newsom.#uspol

"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good!"There's nothing good about transphobia, sorry. We need to collectively fight for the rights of all marginalized groups, not compromise with MAGA and decide trans people aren't worth protecting.#uspol

Apparently the solution to Kryptos K4, the final previously unsolved panel of the sculpture at the CIA, has been found, not through cryptanalysis but through an OPSEC failure 😅 It seems things took a turn for the worse after that."In the announcement from RR Auction, the company running the sale, he saw a reference to copies of the coding charts used to encrypt the message; the originals, it said, were at the Smithsonian."https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/science/kryptos-cia-solution-sanborn-auction.html
