Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

As @petebuttigieg.bsky.social wrote on another platform: “The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?”

Elon Musk fired Twitter employees and Twitter crashed. Elon Musk fired FAA employees and planes crashed. Not a quick learner.

And claw back the options that did not vest

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

It's odd that Elon Musk's emulation of the Nazis stops short of creating reliable cars and rockets that get to their destination.

RFK Jr: “Gardasil is probably the single worst, mass vaccine that we've ever seen.” @drneilstone.bsky.social: “The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe, effective, and on the way to ELIMINATING cervical cancer! RFK Jr is an anti-vaccine fanatic who would rather your daughter got cancer than a vaccine.”

It’s remarkable how quickly the Trump team has sabotaged all the things that actually made the U.S. influential on the global stage. Free trade economics, strong diplomatic networks and alliances, the soft power of democratic culture and values, the hard power of a competent military …

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

Wait. Donald Trump fired 300 people who oversee our nuclear weapons program then had to bring them back because he didn’t know what they did? Can you imagine the screeching from MAGA if Biden did that? 25th that incompetent man already.

with active protests around the world and the car ending up being toxic for the same people who would buy it, sales are only going one way. Next serious deadline is in April for the Q1 returns. It is not going to be pretty.

stand up and preach every day. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Napoleon never actually said that, but the sentiment was true enough and the Congress of Vienna accepted the premise. No law, no protection. "By thus breaking the convention which had established him in the island of Elba, Bonaparte destroys the only legal title on which his existence depended, 1/

Well, it all comes down to the Supreme Court.

Welcome to the leopard face eating party. They only voted to stick it to the illegals and the blacks, right? Make it tough and cruel for them. Didn't think it would happen to them although we told them. Its only been three weeks. We have four years ahead of us. Trump and Musk DGAF

Take from Newspapers' queen of the white house- retired. Sell the pain and agony. That sells papers.

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

Le twat, c'est moi -Donald J Trump

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

So, lies

Flipping the US House in upcoming special elections. We can do it.
