Okay, Elon, here's a bet. You say $500 billion a year goes to Social Security fraudsters. If the number's even $300 billion, you win, and I publicly celebrate your discovery of this massive fraud. But for every dollar of exaggeration, you donate that amount to the U.S. Treasury.

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The president who gave a blanket pardon to those convicted of violent crimes related to the Jan 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol labeled those protesting at Tesla dealerships “domestic terrorists” and promised that his government would make sure they “go through hell.” What an anticonstitutional jerk!

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.
