This is trivial in the scheme of things, but just shows how little time Elon Musk spends actually reading the claims from which he draws sweeping conclusions. An anonymous X influencer posted an unsourced claim about Sen. Cornyn--and Musk shared it as proof that "legacy media lies relentlessly."

45 years of corporatist, right wing, and "free market libertarian think tank" bullshit and propaganda stewed these oblivious rubes in their own Kool aid about how the dismantling of coherent governance would result in some mystical, innovation pooping utopia

28% of American adults have a reported disability, and all of us experience disability in our lives. Section 504 protects your right to work, your kids' right to education, and our collective human rights. Call your attorney general to ask they protect Section 504. 5calls.org/issue/sectio...

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.

Transphobia is a rich man's game. It allows billionaires to position themselves as brave truthtellers challenging the status quo without really risking anything because the group they're demeaning lacks much of any institutional power. It gives them the thrill of martyrdom without any sacrifice.

As someone who spent years reporting on Zuckerberg, I've struggled to find something coherent to say about today. Then @cwarzel.bsky.social reminded me of my old reporting. This is what a FB employee said to me in 2020 after Zuckerberg addressed workers following FB-enabled violence in Kenosha, WI.

It’s funny Zuck says “I started building social media to give people a voice” when in fact, he started building social media to publicly rate the hotness of undergrads.

It's hard for me not to get sidetracked into critiquing all of the ways I think this Zuck announcement is stupid, short-sighted from a business perspective, and cowardly (other posters are doing a fine job of that already) but some preliminary thoughts, subject to revision:

submitted 47 days ago • 7 comments

now that authoritarian bullies are in charge, Zuck can get rid of the pretense he cares about race-baiting right wing propaganda and hate speech online, and fully pursue mindless engagement chasing under the pretense he's just super interested in free speech and fighting "censorship"

I don't where this all ends up, but I don't think a democracy in which only one of the two major parties is committed to peaceful transition of power is particularly sustainable!

100 years ago tomorrow. New York Times, November 23, 1924: “The automobile looms up as a far more destructive piece of mechanism than the machine gun. The reckless motorist deals more death than the artilleryman. … Immediate action [is necessary] to halt the homicidal orgy of the automobile.”
