‘twould be much better if only Crooks’ finger had crooked a quarter second quicker

I delete all my social media periodically for similar reasons.

Even communities of people who are really level headed and supportive, like academics and engineers. Eventually there is groupthink, tribalism, and generally people who I am over (and I’m sure it’s mutual)

I had the opposite experience. Some in house devs are extremely talented and have (middle) management support.

(Upper management fires those groups and uses the savings to buy Atlassian)

Quite the mic drop. But wait:

Texas officials have suggested that the National Weather Service (NWS) didn’t adequately warn them

hampered by the Trump administration’s cuts to the federal workforce, which cost the NWS nearly 600 workers earlier this year

I do vaguely wonder how this stuff is spun by the Pravda-level propaganda that MAGA consumes.
