"It is a grave error to view Trump, Putin, Musk, or the others merely as grifters — or greedy, or motivated by profits, or only wanting to benefit from government contracts. Theirs is a bid to remake the world; they want power and the chance to impose their worldview onto everyone else. Second, they don't think money (in the form of fiat currency) is real."

Head’s up Portland-area folks: OHSU and UnitedHealthCare have failed to reach a contract. As of now, UHC “members” won’t be able to access care after 31 March.

This is devastating news to us personally. My entire care team is at OHSU. With two auto-immune disorders affecting multiple systems, there’s really not other option for me.

We’re researching how to request “continuity of care” with the most likelihood of success. (If you have experience with this, please let me know! We could use support.)

Nice to see the true thing said with force. Starmer and Reeves should have communicated the threat, made clear the changed circumstances, and raised taxes on the rich. After all, it's their assets that others are doing the dying to protect:

Who the heck is Sam Corcos? He's a serial CTO and startup guy who runs a healthcare startup called Levels that is backed by a16z (Andreesen Horowitz) and aims to show how food affects your health.

Okay. And there's another DOGE-ish person on the scene at Treasury I'm told: Linda Whitridge, a gym owner and owner of AME Higher Nutrition, a "health steps nutrition mentoring platform."

What's with all these nutritionists or whatever at DOGE? And why should they be at Treasury?

"Can you imagine how right-wingers would have reacted if Obama or Biden had issued sweeping executive orders like Trump does?"

The right-wingers think they did. I need you to understand this. The right-wingers think they did.

Right-wingers live in a hermetically sealed media bubble. And since the days of Bill Clinton, that bubble has been telling them that every Democratic president is a lawbreaking tyrant, disregarding the Constitution and ruling by decree.

This is why they don't panic watching Trump break the law. They don't think they're crossing a Rubicon, because they believe the other side went across first.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Though it is more of a GDD it also covers a lot of the visual aspect. And what is interesting to me is how there are bits and pieces in the docu that are nowhere to be found in the actual game AFAIK.
