The substance of the chats no longer exists, but Signal preserved the group’s rotating names, which Andreessen enjoyed changing. The names, Hanania said after checking Signal, included:
Last Men, apparently
Matt Yglesias Fan Club
James Burnham Fan Club
Biden 2024 Reelect Committee
Journalism Deniers and Richard
The tone was jesting, but “Marc radicalized over time,” Hanania recalled. Hanania said he found himself increasingly alienated from the group and the shift toward partisan pro-Trump politics, and he came to see the chat he’d established as a “vehicle for groupthink.” (A friend of Andreessen’s said it was Hanania, not Andreessen, who had shifted his politics.) The group continues without him.

I’m currently watching this series on HBO.
The first episode is about Ohio. The corruption in our Government is through the roof.
Citizens United was our downfall. We must work to get that reversed. We won’t be able to fix our country until that is done.

O M G! There’s a South African immigrant working in the Eisenhower Executive Building and he is shady AF. Last week he tried to buy an election by giving people $1M checks. Seriously, look into him.

I suspect this is about more than callous cruelty. The fascists are concerned with demographics and the “browning” of the world. Take life saving vaccines away from one group and force birth on another…

A small, starlink dish sits on uneven stones, with a power cord attached, on a wet, gravel surface. Green moss peeks through gaps.
Italy has suspended the Starlink $1.6 billion purchase negotiations with SpaceX amid Musk being a Nazi and a Trump / Russia collaborator. Italy cites security concerns about the reliability of the US.

After mass firings, the IRS will be forced to close audits of wealthy taxpayers.
Audits of rich individuals and corporations will soon be closed — without action — due to a lack of personnel to complete them.
Millions upon millions in revenue will be lost.

An open letter from EPA staff to the American public
"This is not about defending our paychecks. This is about protecting the health of our communities."
Here's a letter to the American public from (anonymous, out of fear of retaliation) current & former employees of EPA, earnestly -- and somewhat heartbreakingly -- explaining how important their work is & what a tragedy is is that Trump's destroying it.

A table comparing what DOGE claims it has saved ($105B) what its itemized savings add up to ($29.9B) and what it really has saved ($8.6B).
It includes an entry of how much it overstates savings ($96.4B) and has itemizations below that.
@juddlegum.bsky.social's MuskWatch rolls out the DOGE tracker, showing that $96B of DOGE's claimed savings are bullshit.

Image of text in a book that reads:
For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.
"Blessed are the merciful" in a courtroom? "Blessed are the peacemakers" in the Pentagon? Give me a break.

Fascinating. How does religion play into this? Does one who is religious tend to follow deontology for instance, rather than virtue ethics or consequentialism?
