This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face. Totally dystopian.

So Marty/Seamus/Marty Jr look identical because they’re related. Biff/Grif/MadDog look identical because they’re related. So what are we suppose to think about Marty’s mom looking exactly like his great grandfathers wife in Back to the Future Part 3? George and Loraine are clearly 2nd cousins.

“I did not think we would get this authoritarian this fast,” Stewart said. “I really didn’t. I’m sorry. Who could’ve known? Maybe if somebody out there had yelled at me on @bsky.app about this, I would have known. But no one did, except every day, in all caps.”

So the SMEs inside Tesla tell Elon to focus on a 20K e-car for the good of the business. Instead he builds the 60k cybertruck and shitty robotaxisEVs. Now BYD is taking over the global market with affordable EVs so Elon gets auto tariffs to make his cars more competitive. www.npr.org/2025/03/27/n...

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

Musk is cash-poor, with most of his wealth in stocks and unprofitable businesses. His debtors want real money, not hype. If TSLA drops too much, margin calls hit. The NAZI lost $100B last month—keep this up, and he could lose everything. www.investopedia.com/tesla-stock-...

This is why I hope Trump goes full dictator and bans the Democratic Party. It’s entire power structure is completely incapable of understanding modern political dynamics. They won’t go away willingly but we desperately need it in ashes so new movements can rise fresh and unburdened with mediocrity.
