I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

For those who still believe Russian propaganda: #Zelensky had already offered Putin negotiations On February 25, 2022—just one day after #Russia launched its full-scale invasion—Zelensky publicly called on Putin to negotiate, hoping to stop the bloodshed. The response? Silence.

Bannon has a bit of a "I can't afford to sue all of you if you call it a Nazi salute" half heartedness to it that Musk's didn't.

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten.
