This. I'm not defending Musk's intelligence (which is hugely overblown), but we must understand that he doesn't believe the things he says. His statements do not reflect his *analysis* or actual understanding of anything. He doesn't want to weaponize facts; he wants to make them irrelevant.

As far as I can tell, my representative, “Buddy” Carter, hasn’t done an in-person town hall since 2017, despite his district being 3:2 GOP. Because Buddy Carter is a coward. Pity.

Is the MLS happy with their deal where people have to pay 80 bucks to watch MLS games on Apple? Because it seems like an awful way to grow the fan base.

Imagine the message it sends to a child in distress that we don’t care enough about them to provide them with a human being to talk to. Particularly when a lot of kids act out to get adult attention.

I went K-12 in this school system. A student body as diverse as the sub-population of Americans who choose to serve. ps. This school system exists because of Jim Crow. DOD refused to let army kids attend segregated schools in the 60s, so they made their own.

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.
