The Social Security Administration has terminated its contract for the “Gender X initiative marker” and removed all references to gender ideology from public facing applications.

A colleague who watches the /pol/ board on 4Chan advised me that someone posted a faked screenshot to /pol/ that purports to show a mod-distinguished post I made to /r/AgainstHateSubreddits about "curbing the influence of the Alt Right on the 2024 election"

lmfao

AgainstHateSubreddits, for the past 5 years, has been extremely focused solely on Hate Speech On Reddit.

Not elections, not external sites.

We were exceptionally clear to people to Do Not Participate in hate groups.

The post purports to ask people to join an AHS Discord

rotflmao

We don't have a Discord. We never had a Discord.

The post purports to show me asking people to install a browser extension

And the comments to the post are all dipshits eating it all up like it was ice cream

MY SIDES

AHS has been wall-to-wall automoderator posts and scholarly articles and "hate sub banned" and Reddit Transparency Report analyses for over a year. Directing people to report hate speech and hate groups directly to Reddit.

LSHICUAL

You fucking dipshits. /pol/acks feed you horseshit and you gulp it down and ask for more. It's not too late to abandon a site that's filled with sociopaths trying 24/7 to get you to walk off a cliff.

You are such dipshits

But you can change.

I had a small role in recruiting this man. He'd spent the last ten years leading engineering teams on a consumer product you've probably used, and he's just arrived in DC to work with the federal government. He started on Monday, and it's now Thursday night. I run into him at an event. He arrives late, and looks shellshocked.

How's it going? He's struggling to put words together. I'm worried. "I just left the office. I think everything's going to be okay." What is he talking about? "For the first day and a half, nothing. Then it was 'go to this agency and help them with this thing. It needs to go live on Thursday and there's a problem.' Yes, there was a problem. The data the service relied on….I've never seen a database like that. Ever." What do you mean? "1993. The guy couldn't find any other way to make it work. The vendors would have taken too long even if someone could justify the budget. So he just hacked it at nights and over weekends. Used whatever he could find and taught himself how to use it. The machine is ancient. The software has just been running since then. I'm amazed he managed to keep it running this long. It's a miracle. Either no one knew, or no one cared — my guess is that they were just happy to have something that worked at all. The guy's been keeping this going like this…I mean…I had no idea…I've never seen…." He's shaking his head and looking past me.

What happened? "First we just had to make sure we could get the data out somehow, make sure we had a copy. I mean, these records…they're the only copy. The whole system relies on this. People rely on this. To help real people. People who need help. If it had failed…" He really is in shock.

"I'd just never seen anything like this. I was afraid if I even touched it, it would all go poof. We got it out. It's okay…. It's okay now…But this guy…He's been keeping this together for 23 years…"

For a minute, I worry that he's angry. And that he might be angry at me for encouraging him to take this job. But I look in his eyes and it's not anger, it's awe. Respect. Admiration and gratitude for a public servant who has achieved the impossible. Made things work in spite of the rules, not because of them. "He made it work. He's the only guy who can run it. He knows it wouldn't work without him so he's deferred his retirement. I mean…he's extraordinary."

Extraordinary. A Silicon Valley technologist, the kind of person we champion as a savior of government, thinks that a career civil servant beyond retirement age with sorely outdated technical skills is extraordinary.

That career civil servant's name is Jed. The system he started building in the 1980s and maintained for decades before my friend came along was called VACOLS, the Veterans Appeals Control and Locator System. It started out serving just 400 users, and expanded to 17,000 across multiple parts of the VA system. Logic Magazine later interviewed him, and the backstory is well worth a read.

And when I searched "amazing digital circus sucks" on reddit to see if anyone else complained about it, I instead got a lot of pornography.

Fascinating in light of the fact most of the fanbase is under 18. The zoomer/gen alpha mind is so destroyed they're cooming to hentai of really badly written Fischer Price looking slop. I have no idea how this show got so much praise for its "characters" and "plot". Any fans of this show please defend yourself, because the only way I see people liking this is terrible taste.
