Yes, true. Except, media's doing the same. Big business is doing the same. Universities are doing the same. All the institutions & leaders are failing us.

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Elon Musk does not give a single shit about how much money the government spends. Everything he is doing is to reduce its power to regulate all his shit-ass businesses. This should be in the first paragraph of any story about it.

"Trump appointed a road rules cast member to be in charge of airline safety and this is the result" that's all true and a one-sentence narrative that is completely damning to the ears of someone who isn't paying much attention to politics. Take the layup.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

New, from me: as the Trump administration begins, I try to make sense of what, exactly, DOGE is. Journalists and policymakers should be skeptical of its claim to be a govt reform commission, and more willing to see it as a form of oligarchic state capture. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-dange...

A big reason the tech billionaires are so interested in government now is they’re not innovating or building anything of value so they need protectionism & monopolistic leverage

David Lynch movies are the closest art has come for me of making you feel like you're inhabiting a dream that makes no sense in the telling but makes perfect sense as an experience

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

The details of the Blake Lively complaint are much worse than the stories yesterday suggested. Pages 13 to 20 are a virtual encyclopedia of predatory, abusive behavior on set. Unprofessional doesn't begin to cover it. This should end many careers. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

my reaction to the Blake Lively complaint: if this is the kind of shit that men in Hollywood pull on a woman who's married to a billionaire and best friends with Taylor Swift, imagine the hell they're putting unknown actress through every day

NFL needs positional awards like college. Jim Brown award for Best running back, Anthony Munoz for best OL, etc. make it a wrestling belt with the vibe of the Stanley cup. There’s only one of them, and names are engraved on it.

I went to the other place by mistake just now & I can't believe I put up w/ it for so long. It felt like ppl running around w/ machetes, swinging wildly, screaming, setting fires, while the TV in the background plays stories like "Democracy was always stupid and we are idiots. Also fruit is evil."

NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy. www.texasobserver.org/revealed-ope...
