This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

I'm really nervous about this. A lot of cities never dug themselves out of the COVID-19 housing shortage, and now tariffs and labor shortages are about to make it a lot harder to build. We need massive zoning/fee relief and streamlining, yesterday.

An appropriate response from our new health care leader, RFK Jr., would be for him to encourage parents to get their kids vaccinated. But so far … crickets. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, to us

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

It was honestly a lot healthier when you had Arnold running around in the big action movies because there was no realistic expectation that Arnold would become what normal people should look like. But you get Chris Pratt down to 6% bf for a shirtless scene and people get the wrong idea

On the one hand, taking advantage of male identity is a tale as old as time, but it does seem like we're approaching some sort of local maxima, as much as you can get without full on war recruitment.

Feminism Is For Men Too

I think industry taking advantage of men (sports betting, loot boxes, online dating, body issues like below (manorexia?)) has really come into its own recently, and whereas beauty standards for women have at least gotten feminist pushback, the male equivalent just furthers the grift.

A tip here for fellow powergamers btw, is that people will be less mad about a cleric that makes every other member of the party 500 times stronger and trivializes the game than they will a fighter who is 1.1 times better at killing than the mage in exchange for not getting veto power over reality.

Elon Musk has gained more net worth since the election than all the financial aid the U.S. has sent to Ukraine. Even if Zelenskyy were grifting he’d be an amateur compared to Musk
