I think the real problem is that Elon Musk is dumb and gullible

Elon Musk is a brain rotted conspiracy obsessed maniac and investors should flee from anything he's responsible for or in charge of.

"The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" is a "Yay! Brutally murder all the Nazis!" movie. Makes you cheer to watch anyone bearing swastikas die screaming in fear and agony. They definitely succeeded at the propaganda.

Old Russian Joke: A genie says to a peasant, “I will grant you any wish, but remember that I will give your neighbor twice what I give you.” The peasant thinks for a while and responds, “Poke out one of my eyes.”

Measles is beyond horrible, and it's spreading. I got my MMR booster from Rite Aid recently. In many states, pharmacists can administer vaccines on their own authority, and you don't need to see a doctor. If you're able, those born before 1990 might want to consider getting the MMR booster.

In Indiana, 16 and 17-year-olds can now work the same hours as adults and are no longer restricted by school hours and days. They also can work overnight without an adult and perform hazardous agriculture jobs. Many 14- and 15-year-olds can now work during school hours as well.

Oddly enough, it was totally OK for Elon to single out obscure government workers whose jobs he didn't understand, mock them on X, and sic his trolls on them.

This is an astonishing story. Trump's personal lawyers, now in government, are trying to find any prosecutor take on a case to stop payment of $20 billion in funds by claiming there is fraud. The fact that career prosecutors are resigning rather than do so tells you how weak the case is.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Does anyone else wonder if Elon and them are lizard people? I don't believe in lizard people. But if it turned out they were lizard people, I wouldn't be surprised. I'd be like "It explains SOOOOO much."

How do eugenicists feel about cosmetic surgery? Like, their whole deal is to birth a perfected human race, and then you've got people like Elon who's had a TON of work done. Did his kids inherit his original hairline?

Today has been a long year for the U.S.: - flu vaccine meeting cancelled - SSA layoffs - DoJ nominees saying they don't necessarily have to obey court orders - trans military ban - SCOTUS taking the USAID cuts - first death from measles in ten years - oral COVID vaccine scuttered

Khanna: We had all these veterans talking about their stories. They got notes on Valentine's Day that they were fired, many of them top performers. There's no rationale to it. it's They just engaged in mass firing. I have warned Musk about this. He thinks it’s like Twitter. It’s not.

Seriously, does he not understand that the best way to prevent "evil AI" from wiping out all life on Earth is to NOT create an AI at all? Especially since LLMs aren't even AIs; they're Speak and Spells with more options.

This. This. This. Watching incredulous as American journalism cuts its own throat over some shards of access that will then be snatched back piecemeal regardless. The gutlessness and stupidity is simply astonishing.

Putting aside the illegality of it (it turns out it is illegal for a reason), history shows that mass forced relocation / population transfers invariably causes mass death. This is the case for genocide.

what the zionist entity is doing by withholding "aid" like tents, medical equipment, shelter, and food, while destroying water and sewage infrastructure, is economic warfare that is part and parcel of the genocide it is committing against Palestinians. this is a place where we can intervene. do it.

WHOA! Consumer confidence took a 7-point nosedive—the biggest drop since 2021—hitting 98.3 this month, worse than expected and the lowest since June 2024. After everything we’ve seen since Trump moved back into the White House, who really expects the economy to improve anytime soon?

The thing about American reactionaries online is that they’re like “under a true Christian monarch, the West will flourish with the enlightened guidance of a philosopher king…” and it’s meant to justify supporting a senile gameshow host and a drug-addled manchild who cheats at Diablo.

Two Republican-held districts have the most Coloradans on Medicaid. This same story is playing out across the country. TRANSLATION: Trump voters chose hate—and forgot they rely on Medicaid. Oops.

one of the absolute greatest successes of the anti vax faction since 2020(and yes covid is the great reason here) is managing to get everyone else to flatten discourse of everyone who is hesitant(lots of reasons from history of your people to personal medical history here) into "anti vax"

this is a really an unfathomable level of evil “shut off all foreign aid” is of course just as evil but it’s a blunt instrument, where you don’t have to directly face the specific programs you’re killing but these little fucks were manually vetoing PEPFAR time and again

i firmly believe one of the main messages we should be telling our students about this whole thing is that generative ‘AI’ by definition will never have an original idea, and if you use it, neither will you

Senator, welcome to Bluesky. Can you explain why you're sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 230, which would effectively make it impossible for Bluesky to do what it's doing today, creating this kind of space? Thanks. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...
