The thing I think is that we wouldn’t have to wring every last resource out of the land if there were just fewer of us, but our every instinct and impulse is to reproduce, and the belief systems that propagate are the ones that tend toward reproduction.

The defining feature of this movement and its leader is that they feel neither embarrassment nor shame.

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.

STOP ELECTING PEOPLE WHO HATE GOVERNMENT TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT

Huge numbers of Americans don’t vote, of those who do, most are not engaged in politics, and of those who are, many believe things that are demonstrably false. The main thing about Trump is that he made politics fun and interesting for his supporters, but he doesn’t have a monopoly on that.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

How long until Trump himself starts openly and explicitly talking about the superiority of the white race?

Elon has boxed himself in by alienating most everyone who would consider buying an electric car. Shifting to shoveling all government data into an AI model, firing all the human workers, and selling AI services back to the govt.

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

We’re going to be the last generations to remember what it was like not to have their decisionmaking controlled by competing algorithms.

Huh—who stands to gain if Americans are sicker, more vulnerable, and less well informed?

The message is explicit: you can be as corrupt as you want so long as you buddy up to the big guy.

@kenwhite.bsky.social so if Elon is now a government official, is this kind of fuckery a 1A violation?
