Laughable, performative bullshit by Trump. Bootlicking supplied by google

These dumb, racist sacks of shite

Twitter ❎ Tesla ❎

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately Jeffrey Flier, the former dean of Harvard Medical School, said that the move came as a shock to him and his colleagues across academia.: “A sane government would never do this” wapo.st/3Q9DrIH

Chuck Schumer when the KitKat bar gets stuck in the vending machine

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

The vast majority of the country has no idea the Musk stuff is going on, and as long as there are no elected leaders of the opposition party out there creating friction for tv cameras, the hostile takeover of the country will advance rapidly.

Also, an obvious conflict of interest as Lone Skum has access to competitors' data along with that of anyone who has left him butthurt.

as you watch trump attack diversity for the crash, keep in mind he just ended a program trying to get diverse people to fill the air traffic controller shortages Trump gutted aviation safety committee days before National Airport crash www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

What was interesting about algorithms? The challenge of doing X with as few resources as possible (memory, power, etc). What are OpenAI + friends doing? The opposite. "Lets assume we have unlimited resources & try to build a god." No wonder they're losing their shit with the DeepSeek thing.

There is almost no way to interpret Trump regime's dismantling of cybersecurity board -- in the middle of its investigation into foreign hacking (which we invited) of our telecom industry -- as anything but an insider attack on the nation. www.csoonline.com/ar...

Free healthcare- GOP loses their shit. www.cnn.com/2025/01/21/t...

"Meta says its working urgently to fix a problem with Instagram which results in a 'results hidden' message when users search for the terms 'Democrat' or 'Democrats.'"

CNN is hopelessly broken. 1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law. 2. It would violate several treaties. 3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

'what is kleptocracy?' www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

ive repeatedly said this (and ill keep saying it) but can you imagine if a democratic speaker was a pedo that republicans would ever let it go? and yet i dont think i have ever heard a single democrat invoke pedo dennis hastert.

"We don’t have a policy on Palestine. We just do what the Israelis want us to do.”

Important thread for Trump 2.0

😢 One of the greatest musicians that ever lived. www.npr.org/2024/12/15/n...

An Israeli think tank issued a report on October 17 promoting the "unique and rare opportunity" for the “relocation and final settlement of the entire Gaza population.”

👇 and social media leaders kissing the ring, politicians shutting down TikTok. Orbanization of US media is well underway.

Nice work, Big Journalism: You have so completely normalized Trump world extremism and corruption that a majority of Americans in a survey say the transition -- to a government of, by, and for racists and rich people -- is going great. www.cnn.com/2024/12/...

Weird how Dems tell you voting is the most important, nay, maybe the only thing you can do to fight fascism and then do fuck all to actually reach out to voters.

There are 14 BILLIONAIRES that are part of the second Trump administration

Another word for this is "corruption." It is wrong to abuse public positions for personal profit.

Bezos rolling over on the Post endorsement. Zuckerberg visiting Mar a Lago to bend the knee. Musk joining the administration. The tech folks and much of our media are obeying in advance and Trump, the luckiest man alive!, has never faced so little media and social media scrutiny. 🤷🏽‍♂️
