On the principle of “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence,” this article fails to reach even a low bar. I mean the article — which I read three times — not just the headline. We can only conclude that the "extraordinary claims require... " principle is not in use for this protagonist.

This is not what democracy looks like.

The funniest thing about this tweet is that he helped elect a president who is banning wind and solar power projects when the entire AI industry is in an electricity crunch. The leopards are really feasting on faces here.

From CNN: "Zelensky meeting shows how the White House has remade the press corps to Trump’s liking." www.cnn.com/2025/08/18/m...

As president you can just rewrite history. LOL.

Incidents happen because people do things that have always worked successfully, up until the incident. Doing something that always worked in the past is completely rational!

I will be visiting Minneapolis in September to present "Dependency management for Java applications" at Community Over Code communityovercode.org/schedule/ #CommunityOverCode #ApacheMaven

Musk is on X complaining about the “Big Beautiful Bill” again and Trump has dismissed him as just being salty because there aren’t EV tax credits in it. Ironic to spend $250M getting the Leopards Eating Faces Party elected only for them to eat your face.

This is not what democracy looks like. We're well on our way to "dear leader" territory.

This article links tech layoffs that started in 2022 to a Section 174 change in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which ended immediate R&D write-offs. The assumption was companies using savings from the tax cuts to cover the increased tax bill on R&D spending. Instead they’ve cut headcount.

Economic reports are being delayed and redacted for running counter to the narrative that tariffs are helping the economy and fixing trade deficits. As more damage from Trump’s policies hurts the economy, the more censorship and manipulation of data will occur.

The Trump administration is well on its way to applying the philosophy of “If we stop testing, we’ll have fewer cases” from the COVID era to economic data. I expected this to happen during his first administration and was surprised when it didn’t. It looks like it’s happening this time around.

“I voted for a bill and didn’t know what was in it. “ - MTG At this point I’m confident there is a contest among Republican government officials to see who is the worst at doing the job we pay them to do.

Read it a weep. Science is one of the things America does best, and it's being destroyed right before our eyes. The destruction is almost certainly illegal, but that doesn't make it less harmful.

This is not what democracy looks like.

This is not what democracy looks like.

This is not what democracy looks like. We (the US) have experts on this topic. Trump/Musk silenced and fired most of them. People (especially children under five and adults over 20) will die as a result of this decision.

I couldn't agree more. Trump was impeached twice, and should have been convicted. This is an own goal, pure and simple. None of this was necessary.

the next Portland Java User Group meeting is Tuesday April 15th This month’s topic is Spring Boot Our speaker is @starbuxman.joshlong.com RSVP www.meetup.com/pdxjug/event...

A concise summary of the total chaos that is the current tariff and trade policy. (The "three-butthead problem"?)

This is what happens when you give power to someone with no qualifications and insufficient sense to delegate to people with actual expertise – a madman surrounded by sycophants.
