This is AJ Link, known here as Łink. He's awesome. He's been permabanned for basically just making the CEO, Jay Graber, mad. This was a monumentally stupid decision that, AFAICT, may result in the collapse of Bluesky due to a loss of trust, but we'll see. The smart thing to do would be to #FreeŁink

In typically brutalist #MelonHusk style 500 of his employees were given the ax on Friday Night, and immediately deleted all access to even their email with no warning.
"We no longer need most generalist AI tutor positions and your employment with xAI will conclude."

#WaPo #editorial by Catherine Rampell who is headed to #MSNBC to co-host the evening edition of "The Weekend" details #Drumpf's petty purges of accessible govt #data that " have been faster and more sweeping — picking off not just select #factoids but entire troves of public information." "deleting #taxpayer-funded data — information that Americans use to make sense of the world. In its absence, the president can paint the world as he pleases."

In first 50 days #DJT has issued at least 32 exec orders reshaping, if not chopping capabilities and #downsizing the US govt.
The freezing of work, and denying disbursement of billions of dollars of federal funding.to once vital programs has created ripples felt around the world as aid to allies is axed and many programs are perhaps at best, in fraught #legallimbo

Scion of Wealthy #Saratoga CA family who lived in their $6m mansion msg'd his sex assault victim on Facebook: “So I raped you...” followed by " I’ll pray for you.”
After returning to #SiliconValley , graduating from a "religious" college in #SantaClara & working for Elon's #Tesla, he fled to #France where, from what I've gleaned, #rape is apparently an unofficial national pastime ... this week, only 11 yrs later, the 31 yr old #fugitive was #extradited to USA, and denied bail.
Thankfully #DJT, who likes that sort of activity, is coming into office... anyone wanna bet on Prez #Pardon?

RIP Sugar Pie DeSanto
I'm a little late to the memorial, time having been consumed by holiday travel, and then news of wildfires sweeping areas I just returned from, but just saw notice that at the end of the past year, we lost #SugarPieDeSanto
I was lucky I had the fortunate opportunity to see her perform memorable sets live a couple times earlier in this century in #SanFrancisco , and despite her age, she was still feisty, acrobatically bawdy & hilarious.
A relative of fellow #ChessRecords recording artist Etta James, and part Filipino (born Umpeylia Marsema Balinton ) ... , she was perhaps less renowned, but certainly worth checking out for any fans of authentic old school #RhythmandBlues music.
"I was one of the toughest women you would find, and a big mouth, and I didn’t take anything from no one,” she said in an interview in the 2011 book “Flying Saucers Rock ’n’ Roll: Conversations With Unjustly Obscure Rock ’n’ Soul Eccentrics”
I recall in more recent times, her being burned out in a 2006 fire that swept the apt building where she lived in #Oakland, and killed her husband.
But she was a tough cookie and soldiered on for many more years ...stay safe out there folks...

During his #GOP Presidential campaign #DJT threatened to withhold #FederalAid from #California unless the state changed how it approached water management.
Sen. John Barrasso of #Wyoming, the No. 2 ranking #Republican in the upper chamber, blamed #CalFire disasters on “policies of the liberal administration out there” adding " I expect that there will be strings attached to money that is ultimately approved"
In bipartisan votes, #Congress recently approved billions of dollars in new disaster funding for #Florida, #Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, #Tennessee and #Virginia with no specific conditions on those states federal assistance.

“The rule of the worst.”
TheEconomist word of the year “has the crisp, hard sounds of glass breaking.”
“‘Kakistocracy’ is not found in ancient sources; it seems to have been coined in English as an intentional antonym to aristocracy, originally ‘rule by the best’.”

“Trump Team’s Rejection of a Transition Deal Adds a Wrinkle to Its Transparency Pledges”
Flaunting norms and law is not a “wrinkle”
It’s blatant Trump thumbing his nose - your rules don’t apply to me, suckers. Trump Lies when his lips are moving.

#Russian born #billionaire #PavelDurov with dual #Dubai citizenship, arrested on pvt jet in #Paris for running privacy #comms app #Telegram that #French authorities claim is protecting participants in child #SexTrafficking.
#Durov’s #arrest highlights debate over #FreeSpeech on #SocialMedia and was immediately condemned by fellow #RWNJ platform operators such as Chris Pavloski of Rumble, and #MelonHusk, who has rebranded Twitter into his personal "X" content voice, notably boosting #pr0n & pandering to extremist content creators.Musk compared fellow billionaire's detention to “being executed for liking a meme.”
