Holy shit.

I remember a few years back I had to send an email to my manager every week with everything I had worked on that week. I did it like once or twice and then just shrugged and stopped doing it. I never heard about it again and then that guy wasn't my boss anymore. No one ever talked to me about it.

When I see that "my heart goes out to you" thing with the Sieg Heil... Fuck everyone doing that. Fuck every single person doing that.

It warms my heart to see people I came up with questioning their conservative evangelical indoctrination. We were trained to see someone like Trump as some flawed figure God was using for his purposes. People I assumed would still be deep in that shit are publicly pushing back.

I've never met anyone in the wild who knows who Bari Weiss is. The same with a lot of IDW and IDW adjacent types.

Elon Musk is finally living his ultimate fantasy of everyone having to pretend he's funny and cool

Nobody likes this asshole. That should count for something, should it not?

Richest man in the world but he isn't funny or smart or charming or anything. He sucks.

Bannon wants to be the special Nazi boy instead of Musk.

That is the Executive Producer of Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad.

You do you but you do not by any means ever have to hand it to Steve Bannon.

People gleeful about Bannon and Musk fighting really confuses me. Do people really not realize that there are no good guys in that fight?

Don’t love that. So many people are going to die for Elon’s greed.

I remember when people said Trump couldn't be corrupted because he was already rich.

Tom MacDonald is gonna get himself honored by The Kennedy Center.

"Privately expressing alarm." www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-26... It's gonna fuck up their state so are they going to privately express alarm. This genre is so back.

This seems bizarre.

I have been trying to identify the administrator all weekend. I have asked the White House for a name and have received no answer. I keep hearing from USDSers that whenever they ask who the acting administrator is, they get no answer from their leaders.

Is.. his display name advertising his own meme coin?

The line I'm hearing from MAGA true believers is that Musk is uncovering fraud and abuse and that the Democrats are freaking out because they don't want their fraud and abuse exposed. Where do I hear this stuff? Groups for IT support people on Facebook that are mostly meme pages. Lately there has-

Watching some of these Internet tough guy right-wingers talking about conquering Canada is just so pathetic. Shut the fuck up. They want to invade Canada then lets give catturd an AR and see how far he gets. Just send him.

i think this might be the actual worst tv theme song ive ever heard

My guess is the Church of Scientology probably loves RFK Jr.

This is so incredibly fucking dumb.

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

Really frightening that one of the biggest streamers on Twitch is now doing complete revisionism of the nazi war crimes towards LGBTQ+ people and his chat is flooded with "based" "nazi w" "gotta give them that bro" "W Adolf" because they were targeting trans people

i wonder why these guys hate the CFPB so much ohh

Our HHS Secretary RFK Jr, the former heroin addict who said the drug made him a better student and who is infamously slutty, thinks HIV may not cause AIDS. This man says it's caused by gay men's sexual promiscuity and the fault of drug addicts. Recycled Reagan-era conservatism.

We're getting to get to see what happens when you run the government like a shitty tech start-up.

Just in time for bird flu.

Saw a camouflage pattern Cybertruck with an I LOVE DOGE sticker on it in a parking lot today. Those things are just so dumb and ugly.

Yep. This was always a billionaire's revolt against the rest of us.

On a personal note, it has been really tough having a family member get a cancer diagnosis at this time. It seems like it's going to be treatable. It looks like it hasn't spread anywhere but holy fuck. Just being aware of the ways that this administration's ruthless austerity has affected regular

The whole "I have to watch a serial killer documentary to calm down from watching the news" energy of a lot of liberals have is frankly hard to fucking take. Fucking Ezra Klein complaining that he knows things are bad because he is reading lots of Lawfare. God damn it.

Trump’s strategy of allowing predatory capitalists to destroy state capacity and extract wealth, attacking higher Ed, and disappearing people into black sites (Gitmo) feels like what the US backed in Latin American Cold War dictatorships coming back home.

I have never seen restroom stall graffiti at the office building I work at but suddenly it's appearing and it's 100% anti-Tesla and anti-Elon Musk.
