Today’s Oaxaca, Mexico wall art. The world understands.

Just sent the government my accomplishments

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

My latest piece in @wired.com is about BYD's "God's Eye" assisted driving system. Is it omniscient then? Just like Tesla's FSD, nope. www.wired.com/story/byd-fr...

This. Stand up. Speak out. Do SOMETHING.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Is the sitting US co-president a Russian asset?

If you voted for Trump/Vance/Musk, you voted for Nazis.

Fell In Love With A Train. “Such a shame that the US doesn't do it like Japan and Europe do with dedicated train routes to all of our cities like this. We've done entire tours in Japan by train”

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Big Balls is doing exactly what the American public elected him to do.

A reminder, from February 25th, 2022:

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Ted Cruz will never grow a spine. What an absolute waste of a human being.

Hold the line @cbssports.bsky.social

Republicans are traitors who support a tyrant. People are saying it more and more.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Keep it going! More protest events coming soon. #TeslaTakedown

Sorry, liberals. There was an election in November, and America clearly voted for Elon Musk to have access to your personal taxpayer data.

In BLUEPRINT FOR REVOLUTION, the author (a Serbian who led resistance against Milosevic) gives a lot of examples. Including the way they encouraged graffiti of their logo, which let people know that there *was* resistance. Highly recommend this book--it's a genuinely fun read, too.

Dump your #tesla.

This is the way.

jamelle is correct

I realize now that I have a “trade deficit” with the store across the street. I walked over and bought a jug of milk. The store is abusing me and I’m tired of subsidizing it by buying something at a fair price that I want. I’m going to apply a tariff that will raise the future price of milk for me.

Elon clubs baby seals. Dump your #tesla.

Driving a #tesla is the new wearing fur. Time to get out the red paint.

Just a terrible, terrible, not to mention, dangerous, decision. Terrible.

This is a stunning letter and will likely be Exhibit A when historians look back on what is already the most widespread and disturbing corruption of democracy our nation has ever seen. Thank you, Danielle Sassoon.

Happy February! We have so many exciting titles releasing this month. Releasing today, we have: My Big Playbook: Farm by @ingelaparrhenius Let’s Go Home, Baby Puppy by @carolinabuzio Eid for Nylah, written by @nizrite and illustrated by @zelmaafr

Nosy Crow stands with @ABFEFreeExpression in resisting President Trump's 1/20 executive order.

She is a real patriot.

It's all a big grift. www.npr.org/2025/02/13/g...

She can't say why he's qualified because she knows he is not. What a cowardly, pathetic excuse for a senator she is.

Who's the little guy behind the big desk?

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

Face Eating Leopards Eat Faces. Voters shocked. Republicans Love Trump’s Spending Cuts. Just Not in Their States. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...
