One #bad #leader can wreck a #nation. #History shows that #thriving #countries can #collapse from the very top. Can a single leader destroy a #nation? It’s difficult but not impossible. Modern #history offers many examples of leaders who inherited thriving countries and drove them to #collapse. Some of those countries never #recovered. Their stories show how much damage 1 man wrecking crews can do. Op. Boston Globe no paywall - archive.is/J1KFq#selection-146 #trump #maga #corruption #greed #democracy

VoA to resume airing after court halts Trump’s dismantling of broadcaster

VoA staff can begin a “phased return” to the office and resume programming next week, according to an email from the justice department shared with the Washington Post.
Some VoA and USAGM staff have had access to their government email accounts restored.

But the latest court ruling was #bad #news for the other publicly funded broadcasters.
🆘The Trump administration’s freeze on congressionally approved funds for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia and Middle East Broadcasting Networks will remain in place while the lawsuit makes its way through the court.

While VoA is a federal entity, the other broadcasters are private non-profit organizations.
The funding freeze has already forced them to make staffing cuts and reduce content.

As a fellow autistic person, I would give it a try… but I couldn't find Elon Musk on Mastodon… incidently that happens every time I look for a bad guy :p
If his jet flies near me, I will give it a shot and talk to him. Actually everybody can watch out on: mastodon.social/@elonjet Together I am sure we will (eventually) talk sense into him.
Keep fighting with democratic arguments!

“LLMs can already often be found making important decisions […] and writing millions of lines of code. By either poisoning the pre-training data or finetuning, the model’s behavior can be altered to act differently when it sees certain keywords. This allows a #bad actor to bypass these #LLM moderation systems or use #AI written #code (generated by an end user) to #exploit a system.”
