Ansagen, vordere Anzeige und mittlere Anzeige (die gegen die Fahrtrichtung) sind richtig, nur die hintere Anzeige hat am anderen Ende der Linie angefangen…

Wenn du in der selben Nacht gleich in zwei Bussen sitzt, bei denen die hintere Anzeige die Haltestellen in umgekehrter Fahrtrichtung anzeigt, dann hat wohl wer bei der #BVG ein Softwareupdate verkackt… Bleibt nur für Frage: Wie zur Hölle?!

Wait, hold the phone. Apparently, Big Balls is back in the...saddle? Wired reports he's been re-hired at the Social Security Administration.

‘Big Balls’ Is Now at the Social Security Administration

Edward “Big Balls” Coristine’s placement at the SSA comes after a White House official told WIRED on Tuesday that the 19-year-old had resigned from his position in government.

@briankrebs ugh

@briankrebs Is this a reset of the 120-day limitation?

Humaning right along 1d ago

@Axomamma

from the article: Coristine became a full-time government employee at the General Services Administration (GSA) on May 30, WIRED reported earlier this month, converting from the restricted special government employee classification, which has a time limit of 130 days. As of Tuesday afternoon, Coristine’s Google Workspace account with the GSA had been disabled and his name did not appear on a list of DOGE employees on the federal payroll maintained by a senior administration official. The GSA did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

@caragraph I'm curious whether Ball Boy is still on Musk's payroll and the legality of such a thing. It would, in my mind, be a conflict of interest.

Humaning right along 15h ago

@Axomamma

I really wish such distinctions mattered, but in this day and age, it seems to be a moot point. We've relinquished our ability to have a say, and make a difference-- and I am horrified to think we may not get it back

we can be grateful to @briankrebs for his persistent and continued investigations and reporting, while we actively engage in being informed and making a difference

what else can we do?

I'm alternately frustrated, despairing, righteously angry, and hopeful-- twirling as I'm caught in these evil winds

J. Peterson 1d ago

@briankrebs Sounds like BigBall's Russian handlers weren't satisfied with the info he's stolen to date, and sent him back for more.

@briankrebs Big Balls pulled out of ... pulling out? I feel like we owe it to posterity to have as much fun as possible with that stupid nickname.

@briankrebs At the risk of an exaggeration, the idea seems to be that, if you want to do something illegal/questionable, hire a guy to do it who is too young to be prosecuted as an adult.
