The image is a statement from President Donald J. Trump, dated November 12, 2024. It features a logo at the top with the words "TRUMP VANCE TRANSITION" in blue and red letters, with five red stars above the word "TRUMP."
The statement announces that Elon Musk, in collaboration with Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency, abbreviated as "DOGE." The goal is to dismantle government bureaucracy, reduce regulations, cut expenditures, and restructure federal agencies as part of the "Save America" movement. Elon Musk is quoted as saying that this will send shockwaves through the system and affect many involved in government waste.
The statement describes this initiative as potentially the "Manhattan Project" of the time, aiming for drastic changes with guidance from outside the government. It will partner with the White House and the Office of Management & Budget for large-scale reform and an entrepreneurial approach to government.
The statement expresses anticipation for Musk and Ramaswamy to improve federal bureaucracy efficiency and reduce government spending, which is stated to be $6.5 trillion annually. The work is expected to conclude by July 4, 2026, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The statement ends with confidence in their success.

My fellow human beings.
Before joining Bluesky.
You should read about Cory Doctorow's description of the Enshittification process.
The first part of the process is vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, even if it results in a loss of money. The idea is to get market share.
I fear that mankind is trapped in an endless cycle with social media.

Renegade rows are my new favorite exercise. Move over, jumping goblet squats.

Jumping goblet squats, you say?
I had to drop loaded jump-squats with a dumbbell in each hand, because my shoulder can't take the jarring. This might just work, though. Thanks for the clue!
