That's the language of a doomsday cult leader

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

‘Sir’ Robbie Gibb made no secret of it. Or his vote for Brexit. Still on the BBC board…

Heaven help us

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Breaking News: Democrat James Malone just defeated a Republican in a Pennsylvania district that voted for Trump by over 15 points. This is a huge embarrassment for Elon Musk, who urged people to vote for the GOP candidate.

There’s that airtight logic we’ve come to rely on from Don Jr

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

There is a war against you, and it has been raging for over 50 years. The richest 1% have been getting richer and richer, and everyone else has been getting poorer. They are about to push you off the cliff. Have you woken up yet?

*good* economists know that living standards are collapsing

Every accusation is an intention.

Just imagine a scenario in which PM Liz Truss was in charge now and then tell me that "all politicians are the same"

“Not a fan of Starmer , but “ …..seems the most common sentiment today. I am a fan of Sir Keir and I see what he has always been shining through today . A decent man with values and determination. Proud to have him as our PM.

I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself. Explanation by @anildash.com of procurement capture: www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D...

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Think about Zelenskyy’s first day in office being a phone call where Trump tries to hold up military aid to extort him into investigating the Bidens/Clintons, thinking you got rid of him in 2021, getting invaded in 2022, fighting a war for three years, and now that fucker is back in the WH
