THIS REALLY IS REVENGE OF THE NERDS WRIT LARGE:

Elon’s strategy of unashamedly mocking the critics and having fun is exactly right.

WE CAN HOPE: Matt Taibbi: The Media is Busted. And will soon die. “I held off on writing about the ‘payoffs’-to-media story, for fear I might say too much. The betrayal I feel is almost too vast to express. It’s bad enough that I grew old in this business watching it break its own rules, screw up, and smear its best practitioners, many of whom were friends or mentors. Now, at a critical juncture, the smearers are playing victim. It’s the last straw. The legacy press needs to be put out of its misery.”

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

AND THEY’VE ALREADY USED IT AGAINST CITIZENS WHO HAVE THE “WRONG” POLITICAL VIEWS:

THAT TACTIC ONLY WORKS IF YOU LISTEN TO THEM.

SO WSJ REPORTERS CAN DOXX DOGE STAFF, BUT: Deal Reached to Protect Names of FBI Agents in Jan. 6 Probes: Temporary agreement with Justice Department will shield identities from being publicly released over safety concerns.

FBI employees and the Justice Department reached a tentative deal to bar the Trump administration from releasing the names of personnel who participated in investigations of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, after a judge said that publicizing their identities could put them in danger.

The federal government has temporarily agreed not to make public a list of the FBI personnel who worked on Capitol riot cases, the Justice Department said in a court filing Friday, after FBI agents sued earlier in the week to block disclosure.

“If this information were released, I think there’s no question that it would put a number of FBI agents in significant and immediate danger,” U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, said during a court hearing in Washington on Thursday. She pushed lawyers for both sides to negotiate the interim agreement.

The agreement will remain in effect until Cobb can rule on a request by the FBI agents for an injunction prohibiting public disclosure of the list. The Trump administration agreed to give the FBI agents 48 hours’ notice if it reverses course and decides to make the names public, which would give the agents time to ask the judge to intervene.

Basically they’re afraid if the public finds out what they did and who they are, they’ll be tarred and feathered or something.

HAHA:

The 2025 answer to “learn to code.”

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER SURRENDER!
