Sorry, liberals. Kamala Harris stood for election, the voters evaluated her, and they passed. That's why Elon Musk gets to rule your life for the next four years.

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.

Okay this article is completely insane. OpenAI is going to make more than its entire subscription revenue from 2024 (they spent $9bn to lose $5bn in 2024 btw) - $3 billion - selling “agents”? OpenAI doesn’t have a functional agent product! It doesn’t exist! What the hell is going on?

I don't think people realise how hard Why Everything Stopped Working (2026, penguin random house, I'm writing a book) is going to go. It will make some people very upset, but it's necessary to tell you who made everything stop working and why. My editor is as radicalised as I am. She's incredible.

POLITICO: Trump “surprised his own staff” by endorsing a budget that cuts Medicaid, now open to “altering” (CUTTING) Medicare — Just as many warned all along. While cutting trillions in taxes for the rich. Because they don’t actually care about the debt. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Of course they are. They’re cowards. Plus, they watched conspiracy pilled psychos storm their workplace calling for death to the VP and then the dear leader made a big show of pardoning them. The possibility of violence has already been demonstrated for anyone who might step out of line.

late night news: The Trump administration has just told a federal judge in a court filing that it will not comply with the court's order to resume funding for USAID and State Department foreign assistance. It’s happening. They are solidifying the coup we are running out of time to stop them.

These guys are leading lights of the conservative legal movement. They tried to reverse-engineer an originalist argument against birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants. And the BEST they could manage has a massive flaw that renders their whole theory demonstrably bogus!

🗣️ WILMORE: “a type of hypocrisy — hyperventilating over protecting middle class workers… unless they work for the government. Then they don't count. A different type of elitism on the right. Musk has been too flippant about this. These are people’s lives.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGHftBA...

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is on its face a violation the equal protection of the laws.
