Love that JC has set the mould for celebrities who sell out and antagonize their home base audiences.

"When a civilization is limited to work that produces profit, we don’t just lose the artistry and texture of everyday life. We distance ourselves from the values of care and generosity — and the simple but profound belief that what happens to one of us affects all of us."

It is legitimately distressing to face what appears to be conflicting instructions from the Secretary of Defense and the White House, all the more so when the President's official statement is in the form of a Spongebob Squarepants cartoon.

We're gonna look back at the media covering up Trump's senility in the runup to the 2024 election as one of the most successful propaganda campaigns of the last century. Will be a defining feature of his presidency and get worse as the term goes on.

"With many Western countries, especially in Europe, experiencing their own problems with far-right politics, the number of safe havens from autocracy is depressingly low, particularly as figures like Musk and Vance openly interfere in German elections by endorsing the far-right AfD party"

Look confederate partition might be the most elegant solution but it's going to require high approval from the most powerful vassals and that seems unlikely

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

One aspect of doing a political purge of the military and civil service is you can't come back in afterwards and just revert to status quo ante policies. A counter-purge becomes a necessity before you can then restore usual norms and protections. The people he's installing can't be left in place.

I am not a fan of the California Coastal Commission but the obvious play here is going to be getting rid of it so that wealthy people in Malibu and Silicon Valley billionaires can privatize the beach. Fuck that. If I have to stan for the Coastal Commission here… well I can hold my nose.

This should be a huge red flag to countries other than just Ukraine. Predatory weaponization of interdependence is something the US can probably exploit in the short term but the rest of the world will, rightfully, avoid American solutions if that's our modus operandi

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.
