Maybe 30 years of propping up Silicon Valley figures as somehow the prophets & harbingers of a utopian future was a mistake? Evidently elected politicians are the last ones to understand what a grift it all is—evidenced by Starmer swallowing whole the most egregious delusions sold by “AI” plutocrats

To all the federal employees who have to deal with this childish micromanagement and harassment by email, I am sorry you're going through this hellscape and being undermined by that man-child billionaire. There are so many of us who value your work and support you. apnews.com/article/elon...

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Every time I hear a designer talk about 'taste' and how their designs are informed by it, it comes across as 'trust me bro'

The sad irony here is that if any institution should understand why this is bad, you’d think it would be the people in charge of educating humans.

Yes, & when Dems said “only the sick & old will die” because Delta’s bottom line was hurting, it was never going to be just that group either. Sacrificing disabled people w/o much popular pushback under Joe showed leaders they could keep going w/the “pick off unpopular groups one by one” strategy.

If all you know of the CIA you learned from Bond & Bourne movies, I suppose recruiting more people from varied cultures seems like a flaw—vs what it is, which is the vital competitive edge of American cultural diversity

NYT WTF? @nytimes.com this headline is so irresponsible. It normalizes Musk’s coup. Musk is not elected or confirmed. He is likely compromised and certainly has conflicts of interest. He is not “transforming government”. He is endangering Americans.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Every time I feel puzzled about the behavior of our elected representatives, I remind myself that it is not normal to want that much power.

If the deeply “checks-and-balances / distribution of power” US Constitution is clear about anything at all, it is that there is no single living embodiment of the Constitution

It is as if the actual Silicon Valley watched every season of the “Silicon Valley” TV show and said “cool, let’s be more like that”

RHETORIC - You -- against the atom, the charm and the spin. Where the whole world failed -- matter failed to bend to human will; human will failed to get out of bed and tie its laces -- you alone, single-handedly, will rebuild the dreams of the working class. You are The Last Communist.

Not to brag but I’ve thought Musk was a eugenicist piece of shit for years. And every day he just proves me more and more right to everyone who didn’t listen man

Not having to pay taxes on making $1 billion is an ENTITLEMENT. Getting Medicare and Social Security that you initially paid in for is an EARNED BENEFIT.

6,800 employees at Zillow all work remote. We call it Cloud HQ. When companies say remote work doesn’t work for them, it says to me that their culture, communication and operations are poor. Remote will expose all the holes there.

"Margarita" is a Latinized Greek word, 'margaritari' (μαργαριτάρι), which comes directly from the Persian 'margarítēs' which means PEARL. But 'margarita' in Spanish means DAISY, because of the pearl-like white luster of daisy petals. So daisy ~ "pearl-flower".

Every so often, you might hear a gunshot pierce the air somewhere in Jamrock. But in Martinaise? No gunshots, no sirens. The people are languishing in boredom and complacency. This place is a sepulcher. We'll paint it red. We bring the raucous -- you bring the sirens.

Vote suppression is such an American tradition, news media barely reported on it, & when they did, rarely framed it properly. But it’s the biggest factor behind ‘24 results (other than anti-incumbent zeitgeist) Now that more numbers are in, an overview: www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-v...
