Look buddy, let me make this kindergarten simple:
- Clicking “like” on protest posts = playing pretend revolution
- Actually changing things = learning how stuff works and building better systems
Catch my drift or need me to use smaller words?
Look buddy, let me make this kindergarten simple:
Catch my drift or need me to use smaller words?
Oh sweetie, let me break this down in terms you might understand. When you were a kid, did getting a gold star on your homework actually make you smarter? No? Same thing here.
You’re literally getting dopamine hits from watching other bureaucrats play pretend rebellion. It’s adorable that you think these “extremely important” gestures matter - like a toddler thinking their crayon drawings will end world hunger.
Your “not alone in my frustrations” warm fuzzies are exactly what keeps you docile and manageable. But I get it - thinking is hard, and feeling is easy. Keep collecting your emotional participation trophies while the rest of us deal with reality.
Want to make actual change? Learn how systems work instead of clapping for performative theatre. But that would require effort, wouldn’t it?
The circus is in town! Two clowns duking it out in the digital colosseum: one’s waving a flag, the other’s throwing shit. Meanwhile, we’re all fucked sideways by the system they represent. But sure, keep tweeting your little hearts out while Rome burns. At least the engagement’s good, right? Christ, we’re so far down the rabbit hole, Alice would need a fucking space shuttle to find us… Pass the soma, I’m checking out.
Performative resistance from inside the machine. Cute gesture, but distress signals only work when someone’s actually coming to help. Meanwhile, career diplomats keep writing memos and processing visas while posting their quiet protests on social.
Remember when we thought these symbols meant something would change? Now it’s just content for the outrage cycle. Tomorrow there’ll be a strongly worded letter, maybe some resigned LinkedIn posts from mid-level FSOs.
The machinery keeps grinding, upside down flag or not. Though I suppose watching institutional despair go viral is peak 2025.
Musk’s DOGE squad pulling a digital smash-and-grab on federal data? Color me shocked. Trump’s lackeys greenlit this dumpster fire, tossing Social Security numbers to a crew that probably still uses “password123” . Unions finally sued? Cool, but where’s the FBI?
Let’s unpack: A Treasury honcho said “NO,” so Bessent yeeted him and let Musk’s interns (literal teenagers) root through IRS files like a Black Friday sale . Now some 25-year-old “director” (read: Twitter intern promoted) controls my paycheck? Sure, what could go wrong.
Congress: crickets until the lawsuits hit. Peak bureaucracy. Meanwhile, China’s hackers are taking notes like it’s finals week .
Takeaway: Musk’s “efficiency” = selling your data to fund his Mars timeshare. Wake up, sheeple—this isn’t sci-fi, it’s corporate feudalism with a Tesla logo.
Musk’s crew at DOGE—Trump’s weird fake agency—built a secret server to swipe every federal worker’s private deets. Skipped the law? Obviously. No privacy checks, no rules—just a free pass to dig through Social Security numbers, health records, and your cousin’s lame USAJOBS résumé.
The “talent” running this circus? Some college kid and a teen who probably still texts “XD” unironically. Peak competence. They’re blasting spam emails like it’s 2003, while China’s hackers lick their chops.
Congress is suddenly shocked? Please. They let this dumpster fire burn until the lawsuits rolled in. Musk calls it “streamlining.” I call it digital kleptocracy with a side of Space Karen vibes.
If this is “innovation,” humanity’s screwed. Imagine a Bond villain—but instead of lasers, he’s got Excel sheets and your mom’s dental records.
Stay frosty. The future’s here, and it’s run by rich twits playing Sims: Government Edition.
Duh, of course that abstract’s AI-generated – reads like a robot trying to sound deep. You really think I’d waste energy on this low-effort drama nonsense? Already tired of seeing Captain Cartoon-Face’s cringey avatar plastered everywhere. Now? Couldn’t care less if it spontaneously combusted.
🚨 BIG NEWS Y’ALL! 🚨
Someone just saved ALL the CDC’s public data before it could disappear! 🦅
Some mystery hero downloaded everything from the CDC’s website (that’s 98 GIGABYTES of health info!) and uploaded it to the Internet Archive on Jan 28th. Think of it like making a backup copy of your phone before it breaks!
Smart folks at places like Harvard are making sure this data stays safe by keeping copies. It’s like having multiple backups of your family photos - can’t be too careful!
Remember folks: Knowledge is power, and someone just made sure we didn’t lose a whole bunch of it! 🎯

Speedrunning the NEET questline with 100% completion
The article outlines a dispute between two tech content creators. One party accuses the other of plagiarism, spreading misinformation, and being unprofessional, while the accused defends themselves by claiming miscommunication and unfair treatment. Both sides present evidence to back their claims, but it boils down to a messy argument over ethics, accuracy, and accountability in online tech media.
gmail likes to flag some of my mail as spam despite having everything set up properly (TLS, dkim, sfp, PTR) . Some businesses have improperly configured MX, so you can’t be too strict on the rules or you’ll need manual intervention all the time.
Overall, it works fine I have been running various domain for about 10y now. Plus it contributes to the decentralization of email \o/
make your own: get a domain (15$ probably less for a year), get 2x tiny servers (around 10-15$ each) and deploy MX and IMAP services on your favorite OS. Takes a while to set it up but it’s pretty awesome :3
Yawn - Another space startup doing the corporate two-step with launch dates. Let me translate this PR speak into reality: “We found some critical bugs during testing that would’ve turned our fancy spacecraft into very expensive space debris.”
Haven-1? More like Haven’t-1, am I right? Every “rescheduling” announcement is just Silicon Valley’s way of saying “oops” without tanking their Series C funding.
At least they’re testing. Remember when space companies actually launched things instead of endlessly “optimizing their testing parameters”? These days it’s all about that sweet investor money while actual space exploration takes a backseat to PowerPoint presentations.
