The U.S. made a deadly error when we collectively permitted Elon Musk to grow this powerful while constantly declining to enforce the law on him.

Older folks will remember the Cold War term "Kremlinology"—attempts to piece together from various clues the truth about the power struggles inside the Kremlin. Well, the fact that Kash Patel is the first Trumpy person to stand up to Musk in public is FASCINATING, Kremlinologically speaking.

I think some people don't realize that punching Nazis is the compromise. You can get up after a punch.

Since DOGE is facing a lot of hearings before the federal judiciary sending these emails to federal judges may turn out to have been shortsighted. Just a thought.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Exactly. Musk is an evil, sociopathic piece of shit, to be sure, but he’s also bone-stupid. Extraordinarily dumb. Like Trump, his main superpower is shamelessness to an almost surreal level.

today i am thinking about watching “JFK” in the Texas Theatre a few months ago with a @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social and Oliver Stone Q&A. and i’m now desperately wanting to hear his thoughts on Luigi, especially considering they dressed him today exactly like Oswald when Ruby shot him.

Why'd they put Luigi in a bulletproof vest tho. Do they think that CEO nutfuck has shooters

Not surprising, but I've seen a noticably higher demand for this shirt in the last few weeks. It's on sale if you want one too or perhaps as some kind of holiday gift for a loved one 🎁 www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/1130...

"weekend" comes from an 1860s misspelling of "weakened" as in "i'm weakened and going to take a nap." not many people know this

i keep seeing people posting things they think are wise to the effect of “people are letting their purity politics get in the way of achieving results,” and then the “purity politics” are just like basic standards shit like “we must oppose genocide” and “we will not work with the cops”

"I heard a Xturi refer to you as a 'Noagai'," Captain Jones said. "Is that a title?" Her navigator, a Yuun, nodded. "Have you heard the saying 'For every problem, there's a Human that can solve it'?" "No?" "Well, how to find that Human?" "Er..." "They ask a Noagai." "A... You know a guy?"

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

It's not like the rationale even works either. You compromise with fascists, they just see you as weak and push you even further. You gain nothing - nothing at all - from yielding at the early stages. This has happened throughout history.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

in road travel, collision safety is determined in large part by vehicle mass, forms of view, and driver attention. that’s why i drive in a 20-ton vehicle with floor to ceiling windshield, no front-of-driver compartment, and a pilot paid to be there and be awake. and forty of my closest friends
