"Former employees said they took Musk’s social posts as orders..." I still don't get how having this guy as CEO gives the stock a premium instead of a discount.

Very true. Also true: there are probably things fundamental to their day-to-day that you are equally ignorant about. So as you extend grace to them, recognize that they are extending the same grace to you.

ICYMI Meta was caught spying on Android user online behavior and browsing in an entirely new and very creepy way, and then tried to lie about what they were doing, falsely claiming it was a "miscommunication" with Google:

If you weren't angry enough already, here are the rates of non-competitive renewals through May. 4008 Non-competitive renewals were due to be funded in May. The total funded was 99! Some is due to terminations, but most is due to slow grant making due to DOGE review and other impediments. 1/2

These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.

Funding freeze at Northwestern from Emma Mairson at grant-watch.us. Data from USAspending. Normally, ~$70 M per month. Now, bupkis. Northwestern is keeping research moving and must be spending ~$40 M per month. Clearly not sustainable for too long.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

A formerly world-class institution continuing to cover itself in glory. I understand why places like Mississippi and Alabama do it: college athletics are our only pro sports, so they get outsized attention. But North Carolina? The Panthers aren't THAT bad, y'all!

Two weeks ago, Ben Schrader - the highly respected chief of the criminal division for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nashville - announced he had resigned. According to LinkedIn data, that was May 21 - the same day as Abrego Garcia's indictment. 1/2

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

University of California faculty members and researchers filed suit against President Trump and several federal agencies, in what they hope will become a first-of-its-kind class action challenging the administration’s sweeping cuts to research funding.

If Abrego Garcia committed a crime, he should be charged and tried. I wondered reading this headline why they didn't just do this in the first place, and then read the article to discover that they only began the investigation in April, after he was deported.

when @vanhollen.senate.gov went to el salvador and came back he made it clear -- very eloquently -- that this case was about due process. if mr abrego garcia broke a law, then let the state prove it in court. thats how things should work in america. and liberty will reign, in america.

This is all very simple. Let the world's two biggest babies fight and visibly construct and build a world without them. Anybody who tries to welcome Elon Musk, the world's most preeminent ratfucker, into their political party should be put in a dog crate until 2029.
