Musk's whole deal is to pretend that no one knew how government bureaucracy worked before, like it was this big mystery box, and it's exactly that combo of stupidity and arrogance that pervades silicon valley and leads to them reinventing a city bus and thinking they're Isaac Newton

From @chrismurphyct.bsky.social. They aren't just dismantling the government and firing people through Dog-E, they're also doing it through the budget. And now that Trump's Cabinet is confirmed, everything will intensify.

Remember, everything is part of the same story. They need to destroy our democracy and crush dissent because letting billionaires take over the government in order to steal from us isn't popular and a functioning democracy wouldn't allow it.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

NO KINGS is extremely effective because it’s simple, an extremely widely held belief, and gets right to the core of Trump’s assault without having to use words lots of people don’t understand

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi. Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Never in my most pessimistic moments did I expect the response to modern biotechnology saving countless lives in a pandemic to be a powerful elite captured by a conspiracy theory and dismantling our defenses against the next one out of some misguided notion of revenge

Wow…I had to double, triple check to make sure this tweet from Senator Smith was real. Rare to see a US Senator tweet like this. Not complaining, just surprising.

I think this is the most infuriating part about all of this. We're letting tech bros, some literally in high school, take over our government.

Strong letter from Rep. Gerry Connolly (ranking Dem on House Oversight Committee) to acting OPM Director Chuck Ezell re: 5 bullets email. Calls it “illegal, reckless, and yet another example of the cruel and arbitrary chaos Mr. Musk” has inflicted. Says he must clarify non-response≠resignation.

An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

This is why I mask at events too. If you see me indoors I'm wearing a mask. It does help normalize it for others, and helps immunocompromised folks know they're not alone in taking precautions

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

okay but every fucking company that dropped anything remotely "DEI" so fast without any actual impetus to do so, preemptively for laws that were never going to be upheld because they weren't constitutional, needs to be fucking dragged into the street and stomped on forever

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Asked on YouTube about how far the Hellkite Drake was intended to attack in Dark Souls, when it was positioned atop Firelink Shrine's aqueduct. The purple boxes show the long and short range regions (I've put the labels in the alt text) and I've also included the marker showing its intended position

My most popular piece of art from twitter was this - it's called "Being Black in America" I thought it was pretty benign. It got mad love, and because people are normal, a fuckton of unhinged anger. It was like pixel art guernica.

I'm begging people to remember that 'meritocracy' was coined for a work of satirical fiction. It is not a real thing, and, as the satire suggested, defining 'merit' as a standalone measurable individual quality is impossible.
