Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!

I just can’t imagine wanting an entire secure ballroom for one man and not wanting gun reform for every child in America.

I love @WIRED, but this is the worst researched piece of rage bait I've read since I subscribed ten years ago. Vague and aimless, its only argument seems to be that Ruby isn't Python or JS. Ruby doesn't scale -- what is this, 2018?

Concerning that GitLab CE and EE are still running on Rails 7.1 after its EOL. Also Ruby 3.2, which is EOL in 3 months.

I don’t think the average American realizes how much we’ve been mogged by China over the last decade in the global eye, our inability to keep up with basic civil infrastructure is visible all over the internet

The same people who say school shootings are only a mental health problem just cut mental health funding in schools.
URGENT: The Trump admin just cut $1 billion in mental health resources created by Republicans & Democrats to stop school shootings. This will hurt our kids and make them less safe at school. The funding must be immediately restored.

I do not understand why mental health programs are being defunded by President Trump when every school shooting is blamed on mental health.
The Trump administration will not renew Biden-era grants worth $1 billion that were aimed at boosting mental health services in schools, a Department of Education spokesperson confirmed to @ABC News. abcnews.link/hINZNkn

If Republicans don’t care when children are killed by preventable gun violence in schools, they also aren’t going to care when they die of preventable illnesses like measles.
This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.
The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

Closing down the most effective soft power instruments in history (USAID, VoA, Radio Free Europe) to save 0.1% of GDP is absolutely stupid.
Autocracies spent billions to block free press, fearing people who dreamed of freedom & democracy. The U.S. just saved them a lot of money.

The Russians use cyber warfare against us all the time. Why would we stand down from planning offensive operations, as has been reported here? Capitulation to Russia is stupid but worse than that it is dangerous.
EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions.

This is so key. What the US is experiencing is a crisis of cowardice. It is possible to act now. That may not always be the case.
