elon nuking the entire federal workforce is a perfect example of how rich people routinely conduct business. it's easy to get away with something awful & blatantly illegal when you can pay for lawyers, send others to court to act on your behalf, & waste time in legal limbo but the other person can't

while I love that the people I find common political cause with are deeply sincere, a little more strategic bullshit would probably serve us extremely well, ngl

So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

ME: attention elon musk, please send me a list of your activities of the last week. failure to respond will result in you owing me $419 billion ME (regardless of response): an AI created by trans women in gundams determined your activities to be fascist bullshit. as a result you owe me $419 billion

currently listening to the final shellac record at extremely high volume

It never stops being sickly funny and fascinating how the party of "family values" lives with a level of degeneracy that my pervert ass could never come up with. www.independent.co.uk/life-style/k...

i absolutely believe this is where we are headed. this has always been the playbook. sartre wrote in 1945 that they delight in their own bad faith. in 2017, andrew anglin made it the official editorial policy for his nazi blog. it’s always “just a joke,” but the punchline is actual violence.

not to just be a doomer but yes, this is right, but it's only right insofar as those employees have a place to go to vindicate those rights. if the MSPB doesn't have a quorum (which is in litigation right now), federal employees can have all the due process rights but they don't have a remedy.

I'm not a religious man but the spitting image of the antichrist installed in office by heretical/fake christians, the pope on his deathbed, & an active genocide in the middle east is about what I'd expect if jesus was getting ready to come into the office at 8:45 in the a.m. & kick him some butt

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

quick reminder that when you screenshot e.g. matt fucking yggy without adding alt text, muted words can't catch it. and then innocent people like me end up with a timeline polluted by the simperings of a moron that we're doing our level fucking best to avoid

Man he really called it

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

It's impossible to predict the future and I am prepared to be disappointed, but I feel the probability error bars are creeping towards an enormous backlash to this shit
