DHS Shutdown Saturday if they don’t make major changes.

“Procreation is creating one more human who is going to pollute and consume. It is a secondary reason for me, but I have friends who are clear they do not want children because of that,” he added.

Tennessee Dem gettin’ a foot in! Attaboy.

Rogers has arguably become the public face of the Trump administration’s growing hostility to European liberal democracies. Since assuming office in October, she has met with far-right European politicians, criticized prosecutions under longstanding hate speech laws, and boasted online of sanctions against critics of hate speech and disinformation on US big tech platforms.

Rogers is undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, a top-10 state department role that was created in 1999 to strengthen relationships between the US and foreign publics, as opposed to foreign governments and diplomats.

Rogers, however, appears to be concerned with winning over a particular slice of foreign public opinion.

Her recent posts on Twitter/X have included a characterization of migrants in Germany as “barbarian rapist hordes”, a comment on Sweden apparently linking sexual violence to immigration policy (“If your government cared about ‘women’s safety,’ it would have a different migration policy”), and the recitation of the view that “advocates of unlimited third world immigration have long controlled a disproportionate share of official knowledge production”.

Link shortening, as a different example. Thankfully it finally sort of died. Pre-loading is another. Tiktok is uploading before the file is saved, is another.

You can just say fascists. It’s - there’s no legitimate reason not to.

Oh no! It’s the consequences of both my actions and my non-actions!

Also, IPO incoming, expect it to get worse.

Is it? Ah, well that would explain it.

Discord probably did the math and are willing to take a hit to the user counts

I very much doubt whoever thought about doing the math did so, and if they did, that said math made it out of their department. This kind of decision is much more likely to have been a C-suite darling that no one dared speak against or the equivalent thereof.

I’m saying thoughtful organizational decisions are less common than we’d like.

That’s true. And the reason is most people - still, in 2026 - can’t figure out how computers work. Not that they try to. It’s a low-level social madness that causes catastrophic global changes.

Maybe. That’d be an easy goodbye though.

Well I did hear something about the workers seizing the meats of production. So that’s exciting.

You can never step in the same river twice!

So Italian riot squads don’t have guns?
