The man is clearly unfit to lead. Petty bullying is easy; destroying shit is easy. Actual leadership--where you inspire people to do their best because they believe in your vision of the future--is hard. Elon is a fucking bullying poseur.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Nursing a take that the major Silicon Valley firms can be understood as organized crime syndicates and perform some of the same functions as the old ones used to — money laundering, feeding addictions, skirting regulations, political influence.

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.

I’m seeing an awful lot of posts from people on Bluesky responding to despairing scientists with the words “please keep going, the world needs you”. Scientists cannot keep going if we can’t keep a roof over our heads and our mouths fed.

So is the message that one can basically break the law left, right, and center, and not only not suffer the consequences but get rewarded instead? And all those who seek to uphold the law are vilified, fired, or made to resign? Is this where we've all arrived?

I think I'll take a trip to Denver, Colored Red, next week. Leaving from Saint Francis airport, after visiting friends in Saint Barbara, who normally live in The Tall Ones Hills. They're vintners, whose Pass of the Oaks Cabernet wins awards almost every year.

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

How is it that all our Republican, Democrat, and Independent senators and representatives aren't en masse agitating against the hijacking of government by an unelected South African wearing his child around his neck as a fucking prop???

If I were in charge of cyber issues anyplace, from Denmark and UK to Philippines and Japan, I would be: —Wary of Tiktok, as tool of Chinese state power. —Even more wary of Xitter and whole Facebook empire, as tools not of standard US "state power" but of US-oligarch crony corruption. Tesla too.

It's not "good news" that DeepSeek is better at misinforming us and ripping off our creative industries. It's still built from the bones of thievery, intended to control conversation and destroy jobs. Stop celebrating the wins of nobility.

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.

As doctors and nurses, it is our moral duty to care for every person who walks through the door & needs medical help. Allowing ICE to raid hospitals & clinics is immoral and will lead to needless suffering & death. Reading this made me cry...what nation have we become? #medsky

The US President is currently blocking our infectious disease early warning system by cutting off communication between the CDC and the WHO—communication that is essential to the health and wellbeing of the country he purports to govern. He is putting every American at risk.

Today was, in every way, a brutal lunch to the gut. A reminder that authoritarianism is weaponized abuse meant to wear you down and destroy your hope. Drink some water. Get some rest. Practice self-care. Ground yourself in your principles. We will defeat this. Not tonight or tomorrow. But we will.

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

⭐️ Biden commuted the life sentence for Leonard Peltier, the Native American activist who was (wrongfully) convicted of killing two F.B.I. agents in 1975 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Peltier, who is 80 years old, can serve the remainder of his time in home confinement.
