Elon Musk says Twitter (X) will 'fix' Community Notes • Claims legacy media and governments are gaming the system — No evidence was provided • Announcement made amid multiple of his tweets receiving proposed Community Notes today

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

If the 'farmers' protest was about poor people the Media would ignore it, or demonise it like Just Stop Oil. You can tell it is wrong by who is supporting it.

Having passed up the opportunity years ago to run DOJ’s Civil Division, I’ve never run a large organization, let alone at DOJ. So I’m no expert. But I’m gonna spitball that if hundreds of your subordinates want to tell you to “go fuck yourself,” you might, perhaps, have a management problem.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

THE POPE: “I have followed closely the major crisis taking place in 🇺🇸 with the initiation of a program of mass deportations. The rightly formed conscience cannot fail to make a critical judgment and express its disagreement…” www.mediaite.com/news/pope-fr...

Me: idk, I feel like the Samuel L. Jackson bits were maybe too heavyhanded, we don’t need the subtext spelled out for us, the audience is smarter than that Me after reading several insane takes about the halftime show: I think maybe the Samuel L. Jackson bits were not heavyhanded enough

WoRsT HaLfTiMe ShOw EvEr 🙄🤣

Those dystopian books we read in school are looking less like fiction and more like a blueprint. No wonder they’re being banned—they want to keep us in the dark.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

“This performance is boring I like Maroon 5 and Katy Perry with fireworks and Pom poms” “He didn’t play his older songs and missed a chance for larger meaning” Kendrick, “here’s the American flag dropping into chalk outlines”

Any dictionary can be a pocket dictionary with big enough pants.

Instead of saying "I didn't understand the halftime show, therefore it is bad art" maybe try and understand why you didn't get it and think critically about the presentation, symbolism, etc. This is part of the beauty of art and creativity.

Kendrick's halftime wasn't for everybody because it wasn't for everybody

Oh HELL yes! 🥳

Germany is saying no to autogenocide, no to oligarchy, and no to impunity. Thousands are taking a stand against fascism ahead of the election. No matter the results they won't bend the knee to oligarchy. #3E

Again: When he told you he would bring prices down — he meant up. Also: we buy more from other countries than they buy from us because we are the richest country in the world. They aren’t stealing from us. Full: www.mediaite.com/news/trump-i...

Now is not the time to be a silly goose. We need serious geese, grave and sober geese that understand the gravity of our moment. We need hard geese, willing to do what must be done. We need geese of history.

It looks like Kendrick has won for now but sources tell me Drake has a devastating rebuttal planned for his performance at the Kids’ Choice Awards

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

Hospitals that can afford Super Bowl ads shouldn’t be sending their patients to collections

Senator Chris Murphy: "This is a fundamental corruption. Democracies don't last forever, and what those who are trying to destroy democracies want is for everyone to stay quiet, for everyone to believe that the moment isn't urgent...we see this as a crisis of epic proportions." THIS.

Murphy: "I continue to get reports from Connecticut that agencies there, like Head Start programs and community health centers, are actually not receiving the funding they are due. So I think there's a big question as to whether the administration actually is implementing the court order."

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

Shot/Chaser

Uncle Sam being a black man with Trump in attendance was incredible messaging IMO

On the days I am about to give up, this Gwendolyn Brooks poem gives me an anchor.

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it! My fam knew what that meant. THEY don’t want us here, but they do not own the flag. “Not Like Us”

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

Kendrick’s American flag motif at THIS MOMENT is subversive. Yes, yes, yes.

“Why don’t they play popular music at the Super Bowl anymore.” — Man who thinks 1996 was 10 years ago.
