In order to eliminate any inconvenience to cars, we’ve made it illegal for children to be children

The fall in TSLA "doesn’t have anything to do with company performance, and rather only reflects a change in the market’s expectation of potential benefit to Tesla from government corruption." electrek.co/2025/06/05/t...

I am very disappointed that no one has done a "Downfall" bunker scene yet, where Musk discovers that there are no EV subsidies in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

"If people knew how shit our product was they'd stop buying it" is the slogan of the 21st century

Hey everyone, I have a new story out showing how the sausage got made in the new NYT podcast on youth gender-affirming care. It's pretty ugly - my source refused to participate in the podcast so reporters used audio of her captured in public against her will.

Mission Accomplished? 🤷🏻‍♂️ #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

I feel we should have a pool for whether Trump or Musk is first to post "I know you are, but what am I?" on social media.

Matt Yglesias: "Democrats don't have enough dumpster fires of our own. Let's try to see if we can recruit some Republican dumpster fires to our side!"

My first novel shall emerge into this world on the time of June 3 if anyone may want to secure it in an advanced manner I would be deeply grateful and may one day buy you plastic food of equal or greater value to showcase my gratitude. @catapultbooks.bsky.social books.catapult.co/books/songs-...

How quickly can Nashville move to improve the safety of city streets for pedestrians and cyclists? A new report from @walkbikenashville.bsky.social has ideas for the next 90 days. wpln.org/post/report-...

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river. #TheTruthAboutTraffic

The New York Times is back at it again (derogatory). An upcoming New York Times podcast on trans youth healthcare used audio from the mother of a trans girl against her will, after producers caught a vulnerable moment on tape.

I showed this to a friend, and she described the text as "the alphabetical equivalent of AI fingers," and I'm dead.

the Trump team are segregationists and the failure to describe them as such is actively misleading www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This woman was attacked and beaten last Friday in #Nashville. The police still haven't arrested the man who beat her, despite clear video footage showing the attack. Black Tie Moving moving has fired the man who beater her, but not the other four employees who harassed and threatened her.

This should be the end of this "abundance" nonsense. It was always an attempt to trojan-horse conservatism into the liberal/left infrastructure conversation. The"abundance" promise is marginally more livable communities in exchange for cementing capital/consultant class power over labor.

The failure of the National Academy of Sciences USA to make a clear and unequivocal statement about the disastrous Trump administration science policies — it lets all of us down and dooms them to eventual irrelevance.
