Jill 31,812 Posted February 13, 2025 Share Posted February 13, 2025 A government website created by the Trump administration to “track government waste” has been left unupdated with a default WordPress sample page that includes language about an imaginary architecture firm. “Waste.gov: Tracking government waste,” the tagline for the website, archived here, says. The rest of the webpage, however, is about an imaginary architecture firm called Études, pulled from a sample webpage for a default WordPress theme called Twenty Twenty-Four. Waste.gov says “Études is a pioneering firm that seamlessly merges creativity and functionality to redefine architectural excellence,” and various default images and text from the “Twenty Twenty-Four” WordPress theme, which is also billed as “a flexible default theme.” The theme is “suitable for everyone, from casual bloggers to creative photographers or small businesses,” the theme’s page advertises. Seemingly, the inclusive nature of this theme extends its utility to those seeking to gut the federal government. Specifically, Waste.gov is an exact mirror of the “Entrepreneur demo” for that theme. Notably, Waste.gov does not comply with various executive orders issued by Donald Trump because it contains the word “diverse” in the line “Our comprehensive suite of professional services caters to a diverse clientele, ranging from homeowners to commercial developers.” The imaginary architecture firm also offers “a commitment to innovation and sustainability.” Research on climate change and sustainability has been purged by this administration. The White House registered both waste.gov and DEI.gov—which redirects to waste.gov—last week, Reuters reported. After this article was published, Waste.gov was put behind a password wall.

LilMonst3r 5,681 Posted February 13, 2025 Share Posted February 13, 2025 Their fabricating their lies and making sure no one in the media presses them too much for answers.

CautiousLurker 19,709 Posted February 13, 2025 Share Posted February 13, 2025 Etudes is not dissimilar to my imaginary startup called Edudes which is a pioneering service that seamlessly pairs rods of virile tops with hungerstruck bussies of breedable bottoms at a speed and efficiency that will redefine how the modern society engages with leisure. It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
