People gotta get it through their thick skulls: Elon Musk is not actually good at business. Tesla would have died many times over by now, if not for outright fraud. The tactics he is using on government now have destroyed Twitter as an experience and business. His other companies aren't profitable.

🧵 HOW TO DESTROY ELON MUSK I keep hearing people say “Elon Musk is the richest man in the world.” He’s not, and he’s not even that rich. It’s all on paper. How much actual money does Musk have in the bank? I’m not sure, but I can guarantee one thing… it’s in the millions, NOT billions. +

@tananarivedue.bsky.social I saw a random thread that mentioned your book, the Reformatory, and I bought it. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. It’s thought provoking, heart breaking and Robert and Gloria will “haint” my head for a long, long time.

The U.S. election was neither free nor fair. It was polluted with the quarter-billion dollars of single profoundly irritating South African weirdo

Something I’m seeing a lot is that people still think that misogyny is just a mere character flaw. But it’s actually a social system—one that has agents enacting it, offers incentives to participants, and has clear beneficiaries.

For years I’ve watched feminists try and raise awareness about the unrestricted mass influence of incel culture, Andrew Tate, and reactionary misogynistic rhetoric. And now some Dems are saying the problem is identifying “toxic masculinity” too much. I actually think it’s the opposite!

I feel much more numb than in 2016, even though this is worse. I think it’s because I was so shocked then. I am horribly disappointed, but less shocked this time. I fear for our courts, for Ukraine, for RFK Jr. being put in charge of anything public health related… It is a daunting road ahead

This poor girl. Please VOTE that piss-frosted, shit-tanned, vagine-necked fascist out of our lives and into oblivion. Do it for your wives, daughters, sisters, granddaughters, nieces and female friends. We are begging you.

The fundamental problem with the Union was that it didn’t have the will to punish the Confederacy. So here we are. Again.

Dudes not understanding what Dobbs meant, if we're luckly, will be the story of 2024.

the idea that women supporting abortion rights are unserious political actors or concerns about the deaths of american women are frivolous compared to other vectors of politics is frankly enraging

Really tough choice this election, between a prolifically corrupt rapist who keeps saying “I am literally Hitler and want to do Hitler stuff” and a woman who has failed to prove herself a communist.

Women are literally hiding their phone locations in case they get prosecuted for having an abortion and bleeding out in parking lots because Texas doctors won't treat them and we're supposed to be Very Concerned about young men not being treated like the centre of the universe for five minutes?

this was quite literally the point! for all the fearmongering about third trimester abortions they are almost always the heartbreaking result of something being very wrong with a wanted child, and forcing women to carry a baby she knows will die to term is unspeakably cruel evil people, evil policy

Still striking how little it gets talked about that the guy running the most obviously misogynistic campaign in modern American history is afraid to debate a woman.

I’m grateful to have been a small part of a project launching today that gathers people’s stories of life under abortion bans. We know personal stories can change hearts and minds; maybe they’re one of the only things that can. abortioninamerica.org

Yeah, I definitely understand being a single-issue voter when the issue is, "So, this is my body."

Obama: "The reason some people think, 'I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good.' Yeah it was pretty good, because it was my economy ... I had spent 8 years cleaning up the mess that the Republicans had left me the last time."
