I still remember that aids, during his first term, disclosed that they had to keep briefings to only a few pages and put pictures to make sure they didn't lose his attention.
(they were right)
Maybe not entirely closely related but your comment reminded me of this: https://youtube.com/shorts/y0ja9zYBMPE
'Knew about the rumble; 'just did the clicks for the first time (thanks to the tip about opening my jaw).
Why do people post things like this? And who cares? It doesn't matter; it antimatters.
Not unintentionally correct…because that was my very intentional point.
In spite of car manufacturers claiming seatbelts and air bags were unnecessary, the sheer number of resulting deaths caused us to actually do something about it. I don't look at the lack of driver's licenses as anything approaching a rosy past. I will never be sympathetic to the argument that a lack of common sense safety regulations which saves lives somehow grants us more freedom (other than to abdicate all of your freedoms instantaneously via early death, which overwhelmingly impacts the poor and marginalized); sorry.
He may get a short term gain
He was elected to run the government like a business; this is the CEO signature move.
Like all the car crashes that now require us to get a driver's license…; can't mow down the government if you're trained on the rules of the road!

It's funny because, while not a 1-for-1 cultural fit, Mastodon's site structure has felt much closer to Tumblr's. I feel like the reason Twitter people keep saying Mastodon's insufficient (while, eventually, flocking to BlueSky) is that BlueSky offers a more similar UX, in terms of shunting you along algorithmically. I don't think there's any issue with Mastodon's UI (other than maybe PixelFed, I think it's the closest Fediverse project to other mainstream social media UI) but I suspect the UX isn't quite right for people expecting Twitter.
However, I, as a Tumblr transplant, felt right at home.
…honestly, throw some ham on that and I think it wouldn't be half bad.
To be fair, it comes disabled; you have to explicitly go enable it, if you want to use it.
