musk constantly carrying one kid — and only one kid — on his shoulders everywhere in public gets real fucking dark when you think about how often he talks about how people want to kill him.

I was pretty surprised to see Israeli "ethnic cleansing" denounced to applause at the Oscars. There are a lot of incredibly pro-Israel people in Hollywood. That felt like a notable sign of cultural shift.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Crockett: When you're at war, you’re not worried about your outfit. If he was walking around in the fanciest suits, I'm sure that they would accuse him of taking our dollars and spending it on his wardrobe

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.

Fun fact: You've been paying into social security your whole life, so when Elon turns his cash vacuum cleaner on that system, he's stealing directly from you in the most unambiguous way imaginable.

Ok also AOC and Elon Musk are not in a “tit-for-tat feud.” AOC is a duly elected member of Congress who operates under an oath to our constitution and Elon Musk is an unelected Nazi billionaire whose wealth makes him think he’s above the law and empowered to illegally torch our government.

None of this is about non-interventionism or even isolationism. They don't want America to withdraw from the world stage. What they want is for the United States to switch sides on democracies vs. dictatorships. They want to be, and are, allies of the latter in the same way we have been the former.

Worth noting that when the war started Zelensky’s English was very shaky and he’s clearly spent a ton of time improving it for exactly this purpose.

You need to watch this to appreciate quite how offensive it is. Quite apart from the enormous political ramifications, I feel sick, on a very personal level, to see one human speak to another human the way JD and DT are speaking to President Zelensky. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

MUSK DECIDED TO RIP A CONTRACT AWAY FROM A COMPETITOR AND GIVE IT TO HIMSELF

Coffman, Gardner, and possibly now Evans: keep a low profile, vote how leadership tells you, lose your seat as a result. But the rich will get their tax cut, because Republicans are the one party with a coherent governing vision and the discipline and willingness to use and lose power to achieve it.

My condolences to VP Vance and Elon Musk on the defeat of their buddies in the AFD, Germany’s extremist Far Right party, in today’s election. Keeping the AFD out of power is a victory for all who oppose fascism.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Last night I went to see an REM cover band fronted by actor Michael Shannon. They played Fables of the Reconstruction start to finish & then did a second set of deep cuts. Peter Buck came out & played on the last 5 songs or so. It was fantastic.

Mr. Hegseth has previously said that General Brown should be fired because of his “woke” focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the military. Replaces a Black four-star fighter pilot with a white man who does not meet the statutory qualifications supposedly over DEI.
