Heidi Li FeldmanI want to make sure people know that in the U.S. a Presidential executive order is not a law. It is an internal memo from the head of the Executive to others in that branch. The President has no constitutional authority to legislate or adjudicate the law. 1/

BrianKrebsWhen you see the POTUS or people who support him saying things like, "man who could have asked for a better start to this presidency," you might go "whuh?"But if you take a look at the useful Project 2025 Tracker, they've made incredible progress on their policy goals in a remarkably short time.

Randahl FinkDenmark has not found it relevant to spend tax payer money on a large military base on Greenland. Instead Denmark gives a yearly grant of 620 million dollars to the 57,000 Greenlanders, which is spent on everything in the Greenland budget including having free healthcare, free access to universities in Denmark AND a well functioning police force.Vance now abuses that fact to claim that Denmark has not kept Greenland safe, and therefore Greenland should become American.<a href="https://youtu.be/jaJRLBfdux4?si=MtZJIuEhWjVBuFr1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/jaJRLBfdux4?si=MtZJIuEhWjVBuFr1</a>

Jeri DanskyFirefighting is hard enough here in the US. But South Korea, suffering from horrendous fires now, has its own set set of challenges. “A combination of an aging society and a reliance on temporary workers meant older people were disproportionately on the frontlines tackling South Korea's devastating wildfires this week.”“About 73% of South Korea's 9,472 seasonal wildfire fighters are over 60-years-old, according to the forest service's latest data, often the only people available to work such schedules.“The position has no age limit and pays $50 per day, employed during January-May and November-December periods, according to the service's website.”And sadly, some of those older firefighters have died, including a 73-year-old pilot who died when his helicopter crashed. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/wildfires-aging-society-make-deadly-mix-south-korea-2025-03-28/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/wildfires-aging-society-make-deadly-mix-south-korea-2025-03-28/</a> or <a href="https://archive.vn/Zj3Ln" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.vn/Zj3Ln</a>h/t <a href="https://mastodon.social/@CelloMomOnCars" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@CelloMomOnCars</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildfires</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Korea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Korea</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SouthKorea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SouthKorea</a>

Kee Hinckley❝ These men—human beings with names, histories, dreams—were marched through a gauntlet of armed guards, beaten, stripped naked, shaved, and thrown into overcrowded cells. A photojournalist on the scene described watching men age a decade in two hours. He watched as one young man sobbed, “I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.” This man was slapped for his tears, beaten for his vulnerability.No phone calls. No visitors. No books. No talking. Just exile to a place “so cold and far from home they may as well have been sent into space, nameless and forgotten.”And all of this—every slap, every sob, every stolen dignity—stamped with American approval. Coordinated with American officials. Executed with American efficiency. ❞ <a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2025/03/28/what-is-it-exactly-that-being-an-american-means-to-you/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.techdirt.com/2025/03/28/what-is-it-exactly-that-being-an-american-means-to-you/</a>

Matt BlazeAgain: The important question isn't "how did a reporter get added to a Signal group for discussing sensitive military operations?" (though that's certainly worth asking).The big question is why Signal was used for discussing sensitive military operations in the first place, especially when everyone involved (except the reporter) had ready access to official classified communications systems.Signal is great, but it's not designed to prevent this kind of screw up. The official systems are.

Eugen RochkoYou can hardly find a studio the works of which are so thoughtful, kind, and intentional as Studio Ghibli. To stripmine that for its aesthetics, to take a piece of cardboard and paint it like food and say "See, doesn't this taste just as good?" is more than missing the point, it's barbaric, dystopian. It's an insult to life itself. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAI</a>
