"Last year the Supreme Court gutted the rulings that reined in Nixon, and now Trump and Elon Musk are running the government as if they are the only law in the land. They insist they are 'saving' the country by burning down its institutions, and they bogusly claim a mandate of the people to do it."

Important caveats here: 1.) Musk has no idea what the fuck he is talking about 2.) He doesn't care whether what he is saying is true or not

Donald Trump ran on getting us out of wars and stopping American dollars from fueling other people’s conflicts. Now he wants us to seize Gaza, displace millions of Palestinians, and turn it into his personal Middle Eastern Riviera—and he’s willing to send U.S. troops to make it happen. (1 of 2)

I never in my life thought I would see a sitting member of the U.S. Congress gleefully call our nation "the dominant predator." This is sick.

This is what explains Musk’s recent obsession with backing the far right in Europe and going on about making Europe great again. This and the racism. Everything else is noise.

Pour out a damn fine cup of coffee. A giant has left us. Interviewing David Lynch in Prague for my book was one of the best days of my life. It began when I was woken up by the hotel room phone, with David bellowing, “WE HAVE TO DO THE INTERVIEW NOW, ’CAUSE I’M A SMOKER, SEE?”
