Elon Musk’s minions—from trusted sidekicks to random college students and former Musk company interns—have taken over the General Services Administration, a critical government agency that manages federal offices and technology. Already, the team is attempting to use White House security credentials to gain unusual access to GSA tech, deploying a suite of new AI software, and recreating the office in X’s image, according to leaked documents obtained by WIRED.

Some of the same people who helped Musk take over Twitter more than two years ago are now registered as official GSA employees. Nicole Hollander, who slept in Twitter HQ as an unofficial member of Musk’s transition team, has high-level agency access and an official government email address, according to documents viewed by WIRED. Hollander’s husband, Steve Davis, also slept in the office. He has now taken on a leading role in Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Thomas Shedd, the recently installed director of the Technology Transformation Services within GSA, worked as a software engineer at Tesla for eight years. Edward Coristine, who previously interned at Neuralink, has been onboarded along with Ethan Shaotran, a Harvard senior who is developing his own OpenAI-backed scheduling assistant and participated in an xAI hackathon.

“I believe these people do not want to help the federal government provide services to the American people,” says a current GSA employee who asked not to be named, citing fears of retaliation. “They are acting like this is a takeover of a tech company.”

The team appears to be carrying out Musk’s agenda: slashing the federal government as quickly as possible. They’re currently targeting a 50 percent reduction in spending for every office managed by the GSA, according to documents obtained by WIRED.

There also appears to be an effort to use IT credentials from the Executive Office of the President to access GSA laptops and internal GSA infrastructure. Typically, access to agency systems requires workers to be employed at such agencies, sources say. While Musk's team could be trying to obtain better laptops and equipment from GSA, sources fear that the mandate laid out in the DOGE executive order would grant the body broad access to GSA systems and data. That includes sensitive procurement data, data internal to all the systems and services GSA offers, and internal monitoring software to surveil GSA employees as part of normal auditing and security processes.

The access could give Musk’s proxies the ability to remote into laptops, listen in on meetings, read emails, among many other things, a former Biden official told WIRED on Friday.

“Granting DOGE staff, many of whom aren't government employees, unfettered access to internal government systems and sensitive data poses a huge security risk to the federal government and to the American public,” the Biden official said. “Not only will DOGE be able to review procurement-sensitive information about major government contracts, it'll also be able to actively surveil government employees.”

The new GSA leadership team has prioritized downsizing the GSA’s real estate portfolio, canceling convenience contracts, and rolling out AI tools for use by the federal government, according to internal documents and interviews with sources familiar with the situation. At a GSA office in Washington, DC, earlier this week, there were three items written on a white board sitting in a large, vacant room. “Spending Cuts $585 m, Regulations Removed, 15, Square feet sold/terminated 203,000 sf,” it read, according to a photo viewed by WIRED. There’s no note of who wrote the message, but it appears to be a tracker of cuts made or proposed by the team.

“We notified the commercial real estate market that two GSA properties would soon be listed for sale, and we terminated three leases,” Stephen Ehikian, the newly appointed GSA acting administrator, said in an email to GSA staff on Tuesday, confirming the agency’s focus on lowering real estate costs. “This is our first step in right-sizing the real estate portfolio.”

The proposed changes extend even inside the physical spaces at the GSA offices. Hollander has requested multiple “resting rooms,” for use by the A-suite, a team of employees affiliated with the GSA administrator’s office.

On January 29, a working group of high-ranking GSA employees, including the deputy general counsel and the chief administrative services officer, met to discuss building a resting room prototype. The team mapped out how to get the necessary funding and waivers to build resting rooms in the office, according to an agenda viewed by WIRED.

After Musk bought Twitter, Hollander and Davis moved into the office with their newborn baby. Hollander helped oversee real estate and office design—including the installation of hotel rooms at Twitter HQ, according to a lawsuit later filed by Twitter executives. During the installation process, one of the executives emailed to say that the plans for the rooms were likely not code compliant. Hollander “visited him in person and emphatically instructed him to never put anything about the project in writing again,” the lawsuit alleged. Employees were allegedly instructed to call the hotel rooms “sleeping rooms” and to say they were just for taking naps.

Hollander has also requested access to Public Buildings Service applications; PBS owns and leases office space to government agencies. The timing of the access request lines up with Ehikian’s announcement about shrinking GSA’s real estate cost.

Musk’s lieutenants are also working to authorize the use of AI tools, including Google Gemini and Cursor (an AI coding assistant), for federal workers. On January 30, the group met with Google to discuss Telemetry, a software used to monitor the health and performance of applications, according to a document obtained by WIRED.

A-suite engineers, including Coristine and Shaotran, have requested access to a variety of GSA records, including nearly 10 years of accounting data, as well as detailed records on vendor payments, purchase orders, and revenue.

The GSA takeover mimics Musk’s strategy at other federal agencies like the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Earlier this month, Amanda Scales, who worked in talent at Musk’s xAI, was appointed as OPM chief of staff. Riccardo Biasini, former Tesla engineer and director of operations at the Boring company, is now a senior adviser to the director. Earlier this week, Musk cohorts at the US Office of Personnel Management emailed more than 2 million federal workers offering “deferred resignations,” allegedly promising employees their regular pay and benefits through September 30.

The email closely mirrored the “extremely hardcore” note Musk sent to Twitter staff in November 2022, shortly after buying the company.

Many federal workers thought the email was fake—as with Twitter, it seemed designed to force people to leave, slashing headcount costs without the headache of an official layoff.

Ehikian followed up with a note to staff stressing that the email was legitimate. ��Yes, the OPM email is real and should be taken very seriously,” he said in an email obtained by WIRED. He added that employees should expect a “further consolidation of offices and centralization of functions.”

On Thursday night, GSA workers received a third email related to the resignation request called “Fork in the Road FAQs.” The email explained that employees who resign from their positions would not be required to work and could get a second job. “We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so,” it read. “The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.”

The third question posed in the FAQ asked, “Will I really get my full pay and benefits during the entire period through September 30, even if I get a second job?”

“Yes,” the answer read. “You will also accrue further personal leave days, vacation days, etc. and be paid out for unused leave at your final resignation date.”

However, multiple GSA employees have told WIRED that they are refusing to resign, especially after the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) told its members on Tuesday that the offer could be void.

“There is not yet any evidence the administration can or will uphold its end of the bargain, that Congress will go along with this unilateral massive restructuring, or that appropriated funds can be used this way, among other issues that have been raised,” the union said in a notice.

There is also concern that, under Musk’s influence, the federal government might not pay for the duration of the deferred resignation period. Thousands of Twitter employees have sued Musk alleging that he failed to pay their agreed upon severance. Last year, one class action suit was dismissed in Musk’s favor.

In an internal video viewed by WIRED, Ehikian reiterated that GSA employees had the “opportunity to participate in a deferred resignation program,” per the email sent by OPM on January 28. Pressing his hands into the namaste gesture, Ehikian added, “If you choose to participate, I offer you my heartfelt gratitude for your service to this nation. If you choose to stay at the GSA, we’ll work together to implement the four pillars from the OPM memo.” He ended the video by saying thank you and pressing his hands into namaste again.

Disturbing bodycam video captured the moment a trained mental-health specialist was fatally shot by a veteran Virginia cop just seconds after she charged at him with a knife and repeatedly slashed him.

Sydney Wilson, 33, was fatally shot by Fairfax County officer Peter Liu in the hall of her apartment building in Reston, just outside Washington D.C., on Sept. 16 after cops were called to carry out a welfare check on her, police said.

The graphic footage, released by police on Monday, showed an “agitated” Wilson opening and then abruptly slamming her door in the officer’s face after he knocked just after 10 a.m.

After nearly three minutes of trying to convince her to re-open the door, Wilson suddenly emerged in a bathrobe, calmly asked “How are you?” — and then immediately brandished the kitchen knife, the video shows.

“Oh Jesus Christ!” the officer gasps, backing away as the towering  6-foot-tall attacker followed.

Wilson, who just months earlier posted proudly about being certified to provide adult mental health first aid, was then caught on camera swiping at the officer — knifing him in the face, police said.

The cop, a 14-year-old department veteran trained in crisis intervention, quickly pulled his firearm and backed up down a dead-end hallway, according to the bodycam clip.

A crazed Wilson, who worked as a leasing operations manager for a commercial real estate firm in DC, was filmed coming towards the officer with the blade held above her head as the officer repeatedly shouted for her to “back up.”

Just seconds later, the knife-wielding woman repeatedly stabbed the officer in the face — prompting him to open fire, cops said.

The attacker was shot three times before she collapsed to the floor, the shocking video shows.

Police Chief Kevin Davis said the officer did everything he could to de-escalate the situation but was trapped in the dead-end hallway when he opened fire.

“It could have been much, much, much worse,” Davis said as he released the clip.

“The slash, gash and slash wound he received was at the top of his forehead.”

Wilson was pronounced dead after being rushed to a nearby hospital, police said. The officer, meanwhile, was treated in the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

“Any loss of life is something that we all mourn,” Davis said.

“The person whose life was lost in this particular case is no different; she has a family and friends and loved ones who love her very much, who care about her and undoubtedly are grieving and upset and we acknowledge that and we pray and our thoughts are with this particular family.”

The video of the shooting emerged just months after Wilson revealed in a post on LinkedIn that she had become certified in “adult mental health first aid.”

“As a people manager, mentor, teammate, friend, big cousin, daughter … the list goes on, it’s important to be able to help / identify challenges in myself and others. I think this is the greatest act of love,” she wrote in the post.

“With mental health awareness month starting May 1 (today), the timing feels right,” she added.

Wilson, who attended Georgetown University on a basketball scholarship, became a motivational speaker to young female players after graduating, according to her online obituary.

“Sydney’s legacy of friendship, empathy and love will live on in the hearts of everyone who ever met her,” the obit read.

Meanwhile, the officer who fired the fatal shots remains on administrative duties amid an ongoing investigation into the fatal shooting.

I think the real reason why people don’t like superwonder is because it’s such a threat to clois. Like no one cares when it’s Lana lang or Lori, it’s only Superwonder do clois act like childish. What do you think?

At the dawn of comics, there was this persuation superheroes needed a human partner to make them down to Earth or, at least, narrate their aventures from a human perspective.

I was okay with that since most romances never were supposed to reach conclusion. They were mostly an aspiration, for the hero and the human.

There was also this need for heroes to have a secret identity, since there's not enough work for them to be on the job 24/7. The culmination was the hero, the secret ID and the human ended in a love triangle, like the infamous Lois-Superman-Clark affair. It made writers work much easier, because there was always something to write about.

Superwonder meant the end of it: no more secret ID, no more hiding, no more hillarious situations. Heroes all the time. Hell. Hell and madness. What are we supposed to write about?

At least, with Batso and family we have nice situations, disfunctional family situations. Ha-ha. Anything a limited human reader can understand.

With Lois we have greed, selfishness, ambition on overdrive, ego, intolerance...a writers paradise.

What do we have with Superwonder? Heroism...boring, generous heroism. Care, compassion, love, understanding...okay, okay: with Lork we also have understanding, but all of it must come from Clark. We have love... if that selfish thing Lois has for Superman, not Clark, can be called love.

Superwonder has no conflict. What can conflict them? Diana having a bad hair day? Kal having a wrinkle on his cape? Besides, together they can create a new superrace to end humanity. The horror. The horror. Because Jon Kent is not the first of a new superrace...naah.

People is not entirely against Superwonder. I remember, back in 2012, when it first appear, many were on board, and happily. It was a breath of fresh air. DC was having legal problems with the Siegel estate and they needed a way out to show them they didn't need Lois. So they convinced the World Superman didn't need Lois. Later, when an agreement was reached they had to convince the readers Superwonder was bad. Unfortunatelly, readers are gullible and took it at face value. Gullible people are not too prone to think for themselves, so even those in favor of Supèrwonder considered it a danger: an evil Superman and a crazy Wonder Woman. All their stories pointed in that direction. Without human guidance, heroes can't find theit North.

It all came from legal, commercial and creative difficulties. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with Superwonder. The only wrong thing is DC Comics is a commercial company, focused on making their profits as easy as possible. Screw quality.

Southern Infrastructure Megastructure Gothic

@eightyonekilograms, in a post about why levees and dikes won't save Florida from Sea Level Rise:

dams and levees won't work because southern Florida is a limestone sponge and the water will just come up through the ground— but with a trillion dollars of other people's money to spend, they'll figure out something. That's what real estate investors are banking on, and they are probably correct.

NOAA has a Sea Level Rise map, which you can jack all the way up to 10 feet above "Current Mean Higher High Water", and then scroll around the entire coastal United States to see what gets flooded.

Pensacola is fine; they know what storm surge looks like from being in the splash-damage radius of every time New Orleans gets fucked.

St. Pete/Clearwater loses its waterfront, but retains significant infrastructure inland.

Naples and Cape Coral lose their entire downtowns, but the inland suburban sprawl survives. I guess they'll need to convert some of those tract houses into neighborhood-scale commercial.

Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and indeed most of Miami-Date and Broward Counties are awash, and become the basis of new coral reefs for the Northern Florida Keys.

But West Palm Beach is okay.

By Congressional mandate, NASA adapts the Cralwers to work as amphibious vechicles, in order to continue using Shuttle-derived hardware at Pad 39, with the new Sea Launch System rated to withstand salt spray inside the engine bells at launch.

SpaceX stops leasing in Texas, where South Padre Island is completely underwater, and buys up an entire subdivision's worth of now-island land in South Miami. The neighbors won't complain about concrete dust if there are no neighbors!

Saint Augustine dies, but Jacksonville is like Pensacola, and picks up its skirts to avoid the puddles.

Trillions of dollars of dikes aren't the answer. The solution will be to jack everything up ten feet, from roads to ports to homes. If you can't adapt to life in a saline intertidal wash, you'll move inland.

No, the real issue will be whether they can build a seawall around DC's National Mall and National Airport that won't offend the sensitivities of climate-denying Congresscritters.

Frank And Punch - Show #3

Title: The Frank and Punch Show

Show Release Date: April 28, 2021

We are officially Musical Shenanigans. 

Your big question is how much effort, research, committee formation, surveys, and subcommittees went into the development of this title, and the answer is none of the above.  I found the Buzzsprout website where we could host the first two shows that were recorded and I was in the midst of editing the third show when I needed to create a name for the site.  I just threw out the two words, validated that they were not in use anywhere else in the podcast world (PodSphere? PodVerse?), and sometime before we recorded this show, I floated the name out, and everyone seemed agreeable.  And that is about it.  I know, it's not real sexy.  Sorry.

Now, before I get into the show, I want to drop a quick poll here that will end sometime in the very far future (It ends in a week, but I will try to kick it off again), because there is not enough people putting eyes on this (at time of posting) to really matter. 

So let's dive into the show.

Admittedly, the title of this specific show was given more time and effort than the name of the Podcast.  Believe it or not, it actually has a few meanings.  The first, which is discovered in the show, is that Scott does not like Frank Sinatra and listening to his voice made him want to "punch someone in the anus" - he really does wax poetically, doesn't he?  The second meaning plays on the punching and is taken from the old puppet show Punch and Judy - where the two puppets beat the snot out of each other.  And finally, the third meaning is a little more of a reach, but if any of you every watched the television show CHiPs from the 70s and 80s, one of the leads, played by Erik Estrada, was named Frank Poncherello - and that was why the name Frank came first and the show was not called the Punch and Frank Show.  Of course, I do not think anyone likely knew about that reference until this moment.

Also on this show is the introduction of Scott's "Rocket to the Sun" and the respective passengers he is placing aboard.  The subject comes up for a few more shows and then gets forgotten for a long time.  Eventually, we bring it back as a centerpiece (Author's Note: The Centerpiece is the bit that happens between the two rounds that occur in the future, and we are still a few shows away from the concept of "rounds" and doing what we are doing now.)

We are starting to gel and the rhythm of the show is coming together and the number of albums was boosted to five.  And at twenty minutes, with two ridiculous commercials, we are still not hitting at the depth we would eventually hit.  Don't get me wrong, the conciseness works, and this method will work brilliantly when we get to our bracket system way down the road.

The commercial (maybe one can hear the sighing from wherever they are).

Buford's Second Chance Homes was the concept of honest advertising in Real Estate.  They are not trying to hide that a house is haunted, or that a heinous crime occurred in it.  I don't think it really landed, but I have a huge thank you to Scott, my daughter, and Cathy for their voice talents.  Cathy is a veteran podcaster from the show "Stuck in the 80s" - and listening to the very early episodes that she is in, I learned about the dynamics of managing three voices in a podcast and attempting to find the right balance (and I am still learning).  Otherwise, the premise kind of works, but still not a great execution.

The albums as described by ChatGPT

Frank Sinatra - "In the Wee Small Hours" (1955):

"In the Wee Small Hours" is a landmark album by Frank Sinatra, released in 1955. The album features songs that explore themes of heartbreak and loneliness, and is considered one of the earliest concept albums. The music is backed by a small jazz ensemble, with Sinatra's crooning vocals front and center. The album's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics have made it a favorite among fans of jazz and pop music.

Boogie Down Productions - "Criminal Minded" (1987):

"Criminal Minded" is the debut studio album by Boogie Down Productions, released in 1987.

The UAE is known for its breathtaking architectural designs and towering skyscrapers. With the increasing demand for high-rise buildings, there is also a growing need for innovative elevator solutions that cater to the evolving needs of modern structures. In this blog, we explore the future of elevators in the UAE, focusing on the latest advancements in technology, sustainability, and the role of top elevator companies in shaping the future of vertical transportation.

Elevator companies like Mitsubishi, Fujitec, and Thyssenkrupp are offering tailored solutions to meet the unique requirements of upscale properties:

Panoramic Glass Elevators: These lifts offer stunning views and are perfect for high-rise buildings with beautiful landscapes. Panoramic elevators are increasingly being incorporated into luxury villas and commercial buildings in Dubai.

Luxury Cabin Designs: Whether it's for a private villa or a five-star hotel, luxury elevators are now designed with premium materials like marble, glass, and stainless steel, elevating the building’s interior design.

Customization for Space Constraints: In many high-end residential projects, space is at a premium. Customized lifts are designed to fit into small areas without compromising on performance or aesthetics.
