taco bell...you can't keep the Enchirito on the menu, but you can make bullshit like this?

Please please please goad Musk into flying on one of his totally safe rockets.

of course a Rump business is gonna lose money! but making money (directly) has never been the point of Truth Social. the point is to jack into magat minds and inject lies and talking points. $400 million is a cheap investment if it gets you control of the US gov't.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

The reason I know big tech has become a morass of rudderless managers who can't find a good idea in a bucket labeled "good ideas" is that nobody thought to make Android's ringer status part of its always-on display.

you know what's a fun word? regicide.

Democracy will die behind a paywall. The United States is in a crisis and we require in-depth, responsible journalism more than ever. Providers need to be paid for their services, but there must be alternatives to needing multiple subscriptions. So...bundling?

did this one a month ago, just saying www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

here is a cartoon from 2017 about falling into the "it's just a distraction" trap

Tomorrow’s UK front pages are tearing Trump apart. Two of these are right-wing newspapers. “Trump appals world”, “Shameful Trump” and “Deranged Trump”

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Works as advertised

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Hundreds of former US Attorneys have signed an open letter showing solidarity with current DOJ staff. "You have responded to ethical challenges of a type no public servant should ever be forced to confront with principle and conviction." www.thejusticeconnection.org/wp-content/u...

BREAKING: The USDA, under DOGE orders, has accidentally fired staff working to combat bird flu. It’s now trying to rehire them. It follows the accidental firing of nuclear safety staff last Friday. And the accidental firing of FAA’s experienced aviation safety staff. Incompetence will be deadly.

aww, he's like a tiny l'il itty bitty trump www.kmbc.com/article/miss...

Jesus christ, was I giving him ideas?

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

Just me speculating: The Truman/Besiktas-M collision was a test run. I mean, aircraft carriers are the ultimate expression of the flexible power of the US as they can be scalpels, lightsabers or anything in-between. To let a bulk freighter count coup on one is...bad.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

Trump on the EU possibly banning food imports from the US: "I don't mind. Let them do it. Let them do it."

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

Money talks

The utter incompetence of these fucking dumbshits is terrifying. Thanks for helping Trump get elected, NBC, you fucking assholes.

Wish I could travel back two decades in time to tell myself that the guy who was then head of the Republican National Committee is now doing more to fight back against a Republican president than most Democrats.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

Just leaving this here...

Breaking — Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) has fired 1,000 probationary employees and put out a press release bragging about the money they’re saving.

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

so is he gonna rename an existing aircraft carrier after himself, or have a new super-duper megacarrier built in his honor?

BREAKING: Elon Musk's DOGE team is now inside the Department of Education & actively dismantling federal programs. Sources on Congress suggesting the whole department could be dissolved within days. THIS. IS. ILLEGAL.
