• What's remarkable about this is every screenshot is either from a publicly accessible government website or Politico, the most mainstream outlet imaginable. People who are new to the federal budget are very mad. If you don't like this funding, cut it using Congress. We are not a monarchy, even if a lot of Trump supporters would prefer it. https://x.com/jessesingal/status/1889023353916367124

• Elon LIES abou FEMA sending money for migrants. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1888891512303263815

  • [thread] Elon presents no evidence, and has already gotten a lot of very basic stuff wrong about the government, which means something like this should definitely be verified before it is disseminated. But b/c he has an army of insta-retweeting fans and sympathetic influencers, 78k RTs https://x.com/jessesingal/status/1889001682060857414
  • I genuinely am kind of baffled as to how we on the left can counter the fact that the man with the world’s biggest megaphone just spits out lies 100 times a day. it’s grim https://x.com/ArmandDoma/status/1889000585204224460

• Judge orders HHS, CDC and FDA to restore deleted webpages with health information https://old.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1in4ibv/judge_orders_hhs_cdc_and_fda_to_restore_deleted/

  • FTR in case people aren't aware, this isn't just random pages with health info that nobody accesses. It includes things like Vaccine information sheets that are required to be given out with every vaccine delivered in the country. It includes all kinds of very basic health infrastructure that every doctor's office and hospital uses daily. It includes up to date disease data like flu spread, avian flu notices, etc.
  • These morons have been going around just yanking plugs out of walls and then trying to figure out where the cord goes to see if it's worth plugging back in, and in most cases they have far too little attention span to even see it through because they are too busy yanking plugs.

• BBC just released damning research on AI assistants' news accuracy. Results: 51% of AI responses had significant issues. 19% introduced errors when citing BBC. 13% misquoted or made up BBC content entirely. https://bsky.app/profile/hannescools.bsky.social/post/3lhv4rqsk6c2y

  • This is sort of the skeleton key to understanding a lot of shit: there 100% is a non-trivial amount of inefficiency and waste in the federal bureaucracy, and most of it is a direct result of ‘reforms’ that are meant to assuage the people who complain about “waste and inefficiency in govt” https://bsky.app/profile/opinionhaver.bsky.social/post/3lhuewo6p6k2r

• Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders. https://bsky.app/profile/wired.com/post/3lhwk6iwvwf2s

  • The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” https://bsky.app/profile/bcmerchant.bsky.social/post/3lhwm3cxr6k2y
