Hey, friends, can we agree to stop referring to Elon Musk as “co-president” and “shadow president” and similar terms? He is Trump’s *top campaign donor* and holds no official office. You can call him that or just say he bought a president.

A thing I wish I could teach people is that the vast majority of very rich people are deeply stupid. They did not get where they are because of ingenuity or talent. They got there because of compound interest on hereditary wealth and being tax cheats.

Black history is only offensive if you side with enslavers, segregationists, and other racists. It slaps if you have morality.

Best use of drone ever.

It keeps getting worse.

I feel like this sentence could describe almost any U.S. university. Certainly describes the place where I used to work.

There is no scenario where RFK Jr should be anywhere near HHS. Reporters, pundits and politicians trying to normalize this nomination are complicit in the coming disaster his rise represents. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

If you're a white author and a publisher or agent passing on your book says it's because they're focusing on authors of color instead, they're lying to you. And if you're the one saying it, you're lying to yourself and others. In both cases, it's racist bullshit!

We're so used to avoiding medical care because of the potential cost that we've lost sight of how fucking absurd living like this actually is. It truly does not have to be this way. www.welcometohellworld.com/it-truly-doe...

I recognized some of this — one reason I’ve been paring down my subscriptions. But I hadn’t reached this level. mail.bigdeskenergy.com/p/death-by-t...

Gottlieb maintained that there is “skepticism in the Republican caucus [on RFK Jr.’s nomination], more than the press is reporting right now.”

No crossing the picket line!

Sorry, friends. Even Parmesan and bacon can’t redeem Brussels sprouts. It’s still fucking cabbage.

I’ve been sharing this one everywhere else.

this whole "elonia" meme is so gross and transphobic what the fuck is wrong with yall
