The correct political tack here is NOT “oh good, maybe now we can get Elon to back some Democrats” It’s actually, “This convicted criminal sexual predator and his drug-addled Nazi billionaire just raped and robbed the US government and now they’re fighting over the loot.”

Is it a cliche to say they found the waste, fraud, and abuse?

The distance between Elon Musk being the richest person in the world and Elon Musk being in prison for an obvious Theranos-style scam that kills its victims is the distance between the world we live under and the world we have on paper

Feel like the better version of this is like “important to remember this whole Twitter billionaire fight started over whether they were going to take health care from 15 million or 30 million Americans.”

Yes, Mr. Roosevelt, there's a polio vaccine. Yes, sir, this man lies about vaccines. Yes, sir, we think you should embrace him. No? Okay, you're the boss. Now onto this next potential supporter. He's a car manufacturer. Yes, the fellow who did the Nazi salute. Sir, please stop yelling at me.

They’ll try to walk things back today but you can’t really unring “Trump is in the Epstein Files”

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

However real this feud is, Trump has basically admitted the contracts to Musk’s companies are pure corruption.

It is lovely and pleasant that the most unpleasant people in our society are right now very scared and unhappy

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Kamala Harris was at a high school graduation in compton because one of the students wrote her a letter saying how she inspired her and then she invited her to come. Just in case you’re curious what our other option for president was up to today.

While two of the most powerful men in the world are fighting, it's important to remember that they're both huge pieces of shit

I'd go with like "many of the pedophiles who flew with Trump on Jeffrey Epstein's planes are the same people who are also trying to cut health care for Americans. Part of the reason they want us poor is so we can't fight back when they rape our kids."

To think all of this could’ve been prevented if it were only legal to seal billionaires into barrels full of nice warm butterscotch taffy and then set the barrels adrift at sea.

My impression is that a real currency wouldn't tank when two jerks are having a slap fight

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

YES IT IS

MMMMmmm oh god oh yeah that’s the good stuff like that

once again I must tap my own sign

the democrats should invite Elon to meet with them. tell him that the meeting is on a patch of sticks and leaves that APPEARS to be sitting atop solid ground. but here is the twist,

Apropos of nothing I feel like one of the most important things to help your kids develop is an ability to self-regulate.

This is a level five Goof Situation, all users report to Riff Stations

I still think this is one of the most gutting notes I’ve ever read.

Heads up, mask up.

This season’s must-have accessory

They're literally doing the meme

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

Also implicit in this is that by tying healthcare to employment, companies have tons of power over their employees. Step out of line and you lose your family's healthcare.

Oh hey.

It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.

I've reported thousands of circumcisions since lunch.

so gun control works is what i’m hearing

JFC. I don't believe in Hell, so I hope something fucking terrible happens here on Earth to the scumbag piece of shit who shot Jonathan Joss.

Tracks with what I heard from USG colleagues in Trump 1.0.

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

I had to double check that this was real and yep there's the president sharing a post claiming his predecessor was executed in 2020 and replaced with a robot or a clone I mean CHRIST can the legacy media please normalize calling him unhinged, at the very least

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.
