Perhaps we should stop giving unlimited power to narcissistic megalomaniacs with stimulant and sexual impropriety issues who believe their god-given destiny is to marshal a cult of personality and use it to exert complete ownership over the planet and the labor of everyone on it. Just a thought.

Something lost in American discourse is the difference between "values" and "politics." "Everyone deserves healthcare" is a value. We can debate about how we can (and can't) pursue that. That's politics. But if you don't hold the value nobody deserves to suffer being sick, you suck as a person.

It was rightly pointed out what a sad commentary it on our information economy that we have our most respected news organizations running live blogs to cover two grown-ass men in a tweeting slap-fight with each other from their own little insular social media empire echo-chambers.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Lawyer and lawyer-adjacent friends: I have an old friend in northern VA who's really trying to get divorced (he's been emotionally/financially abusive). Her lawyer has been... bad. Arguably malpractice. She just wants out. Anybody able to talk to her or refer? Signal boost appreciated. DMs open.

My time in community organizing has taught me that there's an inherent tension between solidarity and purity testing. Coalition building is the art of navigating that tension. The counterpart in right wing coalitions is the "leopards eating faces" phenomenon.

May delivery numbers are a bloodbath for $TSLA across China and Europe, with double-digit Y/Y drops in almost every market. The one maybe bright spot for them is Norway, where the story is more about how May '24 deliveries were awful than about May '25 being solid. electrek.co/2025/06/03/t...

This TACO narrative is increasingly being used by the Dems to justify inaction, because 🤷‍♂️ Trump always self-immolates. That strategy is bullshit and they can do better. (And those alleged tacos are bullshit, and they can do better, versus whatever the sad-looking-fuck is in that picture.)

The guy who threw Molotov cocktails at eldey Jews was a terrorist, and the people retaliating by sending the Secret Police to round up his family are also terrorists. This is not difficult or complicated. Both things are extremely, horrifically bad.
