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.

not the only thing but the reason you take pictures of Signal on your phone with a second device is a direct assault on the reasons Elon Musk made you use Signal in the first place, and I bet it’s driving Elon nuts that he can’t remember what else he said to her

As far as I am aware Biden did not at any point between Oct 7th 2023 and Jan 20th 2025 call the only Palestinian American in Congress, a member of his own party, to check on her. Even when her grandmother who lived in the occupied West Bank died.

Nazi shit happens at CPAC every single year now. It's undeniable what that hive is. Anyone denying this shit still has their head so far up their own ass that they should never be taken seriously for any reason on any topic ever again because they're delusional.

'Business' that offers you honest products and services is not the same animal as dishonest 'business' looking to vacuum up as much of your data and money as possible while lying, cheating, and choking their competition

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

The problem is not the strategists and consultants -- it's elected officials only listening to advice that involves tinkering around the edges of failing status quo politics. If you start hyping democracy, empowering party membership and aggressive action, you get shown the door 99% of the time.

If online activism wasn't working, sharing media wasn't working, and fact checking wasn't working, they wouldn't be getting rid of fact checking, trying to get subreddits banned, going after online users, and trying to control social media. #KeepProtesting #KeepSharing #KeepGoing

Every time I see pictures from Musk at CPAC, I think about how, a decade ago, the fear was it was young women who would get addicted to social media attention and destroy themselves. And that has happened, but nothing competes with what happened to middle-aged men.

ok so what gets called "gender ideology" is jsut like "be who and how you want" and what gets called "not ideology" is like "follow these specific unwritten rules and perform these forbidden rituals according to the circumstances of your birth"

Time to get to know how we know about sodium channels, a very helpful tool to control pain. Hint: It was a massive, diverse, collective endeavor supported by federal investment in research institutions. And scorpions and spiders whose venoms do all sorts of weird shit to those channels. 🧪

Something I've now heard from federal worker constituents at several agencies: Musk and Trump's mass firings are clearing out all personnel from FOIA offices and leaving them completely empty, it sounds obviously intentional.

Sadly, with these blatantly political firings, every single general and flag officer nominee going forward must be asked publicly under oath by SASC what sort of loyalty oaths, if any, they swore to the Administration.

The media have failed us. There aren’t four GOP moderates in the Senate with any backbone. Judicial time is slow and it’s too soon to say whether the courts will fold. But in a mixed economy you can’t unleash a buncha clueless culture warriors to gut the public sector without obvious consequences.

It occurs to me that one helpful talking point that needs repetition until we're sick of it: Mass firing of federal employees will raise unemployment — and mean more qualified people are competing with you for good jobs.
