It is a violent threat and it should be treated as such.

Remember to hit the applicable cameras first when doing this 🙂

Just so you know, after much discussion my wife and I have come to the conclusion that the Cadburry bunny is a monotreme. Jury's still out if it's venomous like the platypus is.

some of you bitches are very dumb but also I don’t think you should be persecuted by America’s pastiest squad of Nazi bigots

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

I have heard from workers at multiple agencies that they have been advised by managers not to respond to Musk’s email. Some didn’t say why, others said they’re waiting on guidance from agency leadership—but we can guess what they’ll say.

they're trying to normalize it. Don't let them.

So per Bannon, Jewish people are the number one enemy of Israel, and Israeli support mostly comes from groups whose support for Israel is predicated in their belief in genocidal apocalyptical prophecy. I'm starting to think that U.S. support for Israel isn't about combatting antisemitism at all.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

I also filed this with the ICE's Office of Prof. Responsibility. Rodden is a white supremacist. He says that all blacks are foreign to his people, he's "a fascist," his grandfather didn't "get a chance to kill Asians" in WWII & "all migrants are criminals." Let's see if he's fired or promoted.

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

I’ve noticed how often even well-meaning cis white men just *totally miss* that the Musk/Trump regime are obviously driven by overt and hideous misogyny, in addition to overt and hideous racism.

Fitness influencers have been talking about this on TikTok a good bit lately. We can see it in initial Wolverine versus later Wolverine

What's really funny* here is that "we're firing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs because he's black" is at least partly PRETEXT here, for "we fired him because he wouldn't massacre civilians on our behalf" *for certain definitions

This is getting at why I appreciate #TeslaTakeDown - wagingnonviolence.org/ipra/2025/02...

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Update: The White House is already backing down on this. Keep calling your reps. Keep pressuring them. Along with your reps, the white house phone number is (202) 456-1111. Use 5calls.org to get all your reps in one place along with a guide. www.nysun.com/article/whit...

“scrub your website of trans people to save your funding” MIGHT seem like the rational choice when it’s put to you, but if you agree the main lesson they learn is that you can be strong armed

White House next

truly incredible

Nick is absolutely correct here.

Everyone needs to see this. Be ready to deny access, even if you don't know any immigrants. Let them waste time and you might save a family somewhere else. #Disobey #blue #fotus #FBR #immigrants #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #FuckICE #SaveOurDemocracy #sanctuary #organize #fucktrump

I will watch the hell out of this, BUT I feel weird about them picking Skarsgard to be murderbot, who is definitionally not gendered and reads ambiguously. Skarsgard is many things, but reading as gender ambiguous ain’t one of them. www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

Okay but the part about how he called Musk a dick is immensely funny

@asabpod.bsky.social, the only science podcast dedicated to interviewing, and highlighting the research of, trans and nonbinary scientists, is back from our long hiatus with a brand new episode about space stuff!

Andreas Mogensen, a current ESA astronaut and former commander of the ISS during Expedition 70 has choice words for Elon Musk regarding his recent statements about the return plans for Butch and Suni after Starliner CFT. Elon Musk responded by calling him a slur and an idiot.
