I do this for a living. Surveillance management —or Taylorism—doesn’t work. Never has.

It used to be received wisdom that the French were obstinate dickheads for not integrating their nuclear arsenal with NATO, now I am so grateful they have always kept it independent. It may soon be the only thing standing between us and the dark ages.

After calling the commander of the International Space Station "fully r*tarded" for daring to challenge his false claim about the astronauts currently stuck on the ISS, Elon Musk immediately demands that the Space Station be defunded and decommissioned.

NEW: SpaceX engineers were onboarded at the FAA under Schedule A, which allows government managers to “hire persons with disabilities without requiring them to compete for the job.” @telliotter.bsky.social & @aarianmarshall.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/faa-do...

Next, they'll claim that all of this (Trump's "LONG LIVE THE KING!" post and its echoing) is a joke, a transparent trick they use repeatedly. As w/ Musk’s Nazi salute, they'll pretend for out-group audiences to be kidding or misunderstood, while the in-group recognizes that they are deadly serious.

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks and the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

THESE ARE OUR PARKS. These are our employees. Our laws. Our social programs. We voted in every representative who assigned this funding legally & in public. This is our money. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY. Who the fuck does Elon think he is???

Elon's DOGE is going to be America's Brexit, full of unintended consequences and buyer's remorse.

They don’t know the Department of Energy maintains America’s nuclear weapons but they are going to negotiate a good peace deal with Russia in Saudi without Ukraine there. Want to buy a bridge?

it is very telling of these guys’ conception of how power works that they see issuing a flurry of executive orders as evidence of presidential strength and vigor and not a sign that the president is too weak to pursue a serious legislative agenda

Musk is not a nazi he’s just an antisemetic self-proclaiming ubermensch. Got it.

Maybe I read too many comic books as a kid but to me strength is demonstrated by protecting the vulnerable and less powerful among us. Masculine energy today seems to mean trolling for Lex Luther online.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

It’s funny Zuck says “I started building social media to give people a voice” when in fact, he started building social media to publicly rate the hotness of undergrads.

Really hope the Biden administration puts cancer-warning labels on alcohol. As a diet soda drinker, I’m so tired of being lectured on the risks of cancer from Diet Coke by dudes on their fifth beer.
