this kind of shit made sense back when musk was still widely admired and seen as non-political but the most recent polling shows he's hilariously unpopular, like 10-15 points lower than Trump's own low approval ratings. People hate this motherfucker! You don't need to clear your throat first

Another mixture of incompetence and malice. Employee credit cards are easier to track than an endless stream of checks, and correspondingly they're cheaper because you need less admin work and employees spend less time in arduous request/reimbursement processes.

Unlike Nate Silver, I am a trained historian and, let me tell you, if I was reading any historical work that tried seriously to thematise IQ as an explainer, the last thing I would think of the author was that they were "competent."

Me, as someone who ideologically opposes the house of cards that is American global hegemony: “haha yes, YES!” Also me, as someone who currently lives in that house of cards: “well shit, fuck…”

Rand Paul has introduced a National Right to Work Act. The bill is an attack on organized labor and workers across the country. It would make it harder for workers to unionize, win good contracts, and maintain their unions.

Fun fact: Redwall author Brian Jacques began writing his distinctive foodporn-heavy style while working at a school for blind children. He wanted his writing to conjure senses other than sight, so these kids would be able to get into them better. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_J...

Also like given our actual track record on drone strikes, we will also just slam knife missiles into quinceañeras and go 'whoops, ah well, what's another 30 random civilians.'

honestly unreal hubris to think you could just roll with the same old party leadership and run the same exact playbook you’ve run for the last decade and expect people to lap it up. unanimously! no challengers to either schumer or jeffries.

The Venneshamn orphans, winners of the 1925 Snowman Contest in Inderøy, Norway, pose for the newspaper. They called their creation Farfar (grandpa). The kids said they would "feed" it every day so it would last throughout the winter. Despite some decay, it outlasted every other competitor.

I think we underestimate the prevalence of Billionaire Psychosis, when people get so rich they lose touch with reality. Musk wears it on his sleeve but he's not alone, staid "business leaders" like Jamie Dimon also live in parallel worlds where they're victims. Rationality left them long ago.

The moment where the fox-squirrel bites Nausicaa and she patiently waits for it to calm down while speaking soothingly to it is one of the best establishing moments of any character in film. It tells you everything in moments - a girl of unbreakable will and unimpeachable moral clarity
