In addition to being civic degenerates these people are in every case infantile, sloppy and incompetent. Grand flourishes of performative cruelty followed by entitled pleas of "I don't know how to do this. Can you help?"

A lot of people who know very little about the US govt don't know that a big part of Dept of Energy's portfolio is nukes. That's okay. Not everyone has to know everything. But it turns out the people Elon put in charge of gutting the department's workforce didn't know that either.

the masters of business saw what they wanted to see and now they - and we - will pay an enormous price for it this one wasn’t even a bait and switch, the man has been yelling about how much he loved ruinous tariffs for years and the adults in the room have been replaced by 22 year old groypers

this is what long-time Elon watchers call "The Realization": when Elon stumbles into your area of expertise, and you realize everyone just gives the guy the benefit of the doubt because he talks about complicated things people don't pay attention to

I've been resisting replying to a lot of posts today, because I wanted to think. And I think that we are at a unique crisis point right now on the left. You can not spend a year running on telling us that democracy will end if this guy wins, and then just turn around and say, "well norms, you know"

For white USians who think of themselves as middle class, government that works like it should is mostly invisible (the mail mostly gets delivered, social secruity checks go out on time, we solved acid rain and the hole in the ozone, vaccines exist, health insurance got forced to be less shitty).

The final House results have now landed as 220-215 for the GOP. That means the House majority came down to the 3 NC seats the GOP flipped thanks to its brand new gerrymander. And that gerrymander hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022. I wrote this last month: boltsmag.org/state-suprem...

I would like to reiterate: We own everything. The broadcasting equipment, the supplements, the intellectual property for Brain Force Plus. We are still trying to figure out what to do with it.

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

Hello! If you're here because I've added you to my "Indiscriminate follow farmers" mod list and people subscribed to it have blocked you, you can request removal by replying to this post. The reason I started this list is follow farming is how inauthentic accounts hide on a website.

The mistake here is the word “surrender.” That presumes X itself is like land, or a real-world resource. But its only actual resource is its userbase. i.e. us. Basically, if we leave it, we’re not ceding territory to the Nazis, we’re taking the territory with us. And telling them to fuck off.

Thread. This is also where we're at with trans healthcare. Without SCOTUS reform everything will be stymied. Without holding at least one of the house, the senate, or the presidency (and if only the last the house must not be able to override veto) expect national abortion & trans healthcare bans.

It’s a very big and very weird tent, but I’ll take it: LeBron James, Bad Bunny, The Economist, The Financial Times, The New York Times, Liz and Dick Cheney and Angela Davis endorse Kamala Harris.

Another glitch. And Voyager fixed it without asking. While hurtling away from us at a gazillion miles a second. And we heard it whispering. This is all incomprehensibly brilliant.

i think sulzberger, bezos, and soon-shiong are all in the process of finding out, as musk did with the blue check, that there are types of social status that can be spent but not bought.

Two members of the LA Times Editorial Board—Karin Klein and Robert Greene—resigned tonight, a day after editorials editor Mariel Garza did the same. This comes after the paper's billionaire owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, refused to publish the board's endorsement of Kamala Harris. (via Sewell Chan)
