Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

I’m sure Trump & Musk will condemn Putin for this since they claim to care so much about peace and the Ukrainian people.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

About, oh god, ten years ago I wrote about the lack of sex in Christopher Nolan's films. (Almost as though he inserted random self-conscious & awkward sex and nudity into OPPENHEIMER to demonstrate Hey look! I CAN do sex stuff!)

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

Happening now: Israeli tanks have entered the northern West Bank after 40,000 Palestinians were expelled from three refugee camps in the Jenin & Tulkarm areas. There's a real and present danger that these camps will be erased. This genocide must be stopped. By us all. Now!

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.

Peter Lalor - who was sacked as a cricket commentator at SEN because the sound of his voice “made people feel unsafe” - donated his final pay cheque to UNICEF. Another decent person paying a high price for showing concern about children being bombed.

The firing of JCS Chmn GEN CQ Brown, USAF combat pilot and combat commander, may be the most openly racist thing the new regime has done. (Stressing "openly" because there are not even any purported grounds for removing him.)

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

this is from a new report on a “third way” on DEI and it is unbelievably naive, which in my view is emblematic of the author, rich kahlenberg, whose willingness to extend good faith to obvious bad faith actors borders on gullibility www.progressivepolicy.org/a-way-out-of...

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

For those leaving audible and wanting to convert their purchased audiobooks to ones that can be used in other players: You'll need to download your library. The browser app can be memory heavy, so expect the browser to reload every few books. ffmpeg is more stable, but more complex.

@apnews.com sues the Trump administration 👌 “The First Amendment prohibits the government from asserting control over how news organizations make editorial decisions,” the letter said. “Any attempt to punish journalists for those decisions is a serious breach of this constitutional protection.”

Elon Musk literally wears his racism on his face. I'm referring to these cheap generic glasses. Known as "Skull Shades," they're popularized and sold by one of X.com's most virulent and popular white supremacists-- Jon Minadeo II who goes by "HandsomeTruth" (shown here in a video at X.)
