It's an especially important initiative, considering the organization was busy archiving websites targeted by the Trump administration.

I know narcissista and sociopaths rarely off themselves. But I wish we could all collectively bully this guy so badly that he loses his mind.

I was thinking about all the DOGE cuts recently and made me wonder: have they hit USPTO?
I suspect that if Elon hit this, he'd likely get kicked in the nuts from all the businesses that rely on it to protect their profits.
