This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

New from 404 Media: Ziff Davis, owner of sites including IGN, CNET, and PCMag, quietly removed DEI language from its website. Also no longer lists CEO Vivek Shah as a part of "CEOs for Gun Safety." We obtained internal messages www.404media.co/ziff-davis-d...

Gig economyifying bodyguards is going to be EXTREMELY funny. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Begging at least one prominent Democrat to just outright say something is actually bullshit. I mean the word bullshit.

Compare this to any random statement from AOC, Crockett, Frost and you see the difference between a schlub playing pick up basketball and an NBA all star. Maybe don’t pick your leaders from the people who just hang around a long time and make the right friends (Pelosi).

elon musk using IVF and CRISPR to ensure all of his children are male and then one transitioning to female boiled his brain so much he ends society as we know it is like the ultimate expression of family being the oldest kind of empire for the most pathetic kind of humans.

They screwed this all up.

If you're going to read one thing today it needs to be this: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This whole piece is a fucking banger @edgeofsports.bsky.social “Maybe if Democratic leaders pretended Elon Musk was a 22-year-old Palestinian from Dearborn, Michigan, they’d show more fight.”

Why this is ultimately unsurprising is because our understanding of journalism, its function, its role, is distorted. Journalism cannot speak truth to power when it is part of the structure of that power. This is not something journalism likes to admit. But it is often the case. It's about power.

My penis is like cybertruck, BER-ZER-KER I can no longer making fuck, BER-ZER-KER

Just want to remind the internet that Jezebel's tips email is: tips[at]jezebel[dot]com

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.

"The richest man alive, an actual Nazi and a fucking sicko, who was not elected, is firing tens of thousands of people to further enrich himself and the president he has usurped all to make Americans' lives worse" has to be among the biggest layups of all time for messaging. And yet.

Oh, fuck that.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

I really wish "We fucking told you" would resonate with these idiots.

for a while Musk really did seem like the most relatable billionaire. yeah, if i had that kind of money I'd want to go to space and make sports cars, etc. Turned out that was just PR, and what he really wanted out of life was to be seen as funny by teenaged Nazis on the Internet

what would you do differently if you were actively trying to cause more plane crashes? www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

I want to thank Nancy Pelosi for her devoted work in keeping Henry Cuellar in office. If the Democratic Party did not support him, you might end up with a guy who always votes with Donald Trump, and that would be awful.

Thanks to everyone who took part in #TeslaTakedown yesterday! It was a fantastic event, with large crowds across the US and several other countries. Here's a thread with just a few of the news breaks, from national outlets (front page of BBC News, baby!) to local TV news. TeslaTakedown.com

I have a piece on this week's show about the current campaign to rewrite the past, make the old new again, and bully those who document history online. Featuring @darakerr.bsky.social & @molly.wiki

The right way costs money and you can't say you magically AIed the information in when there's a paper trail to your sources.

In a functioning democracy, this would have the entire administration dragged over the coals and removed from office.

Look this sucks but news outlets need to start realizing there's limited journalistic value in sitting in a room and letting a person behind a podium lie to you. You're not holding anyone to account when you do that.

This fucking clown just pulled a "War Thunder."

Dem consultants: If you don’t mention inflation and betray trans people in literally every post, your career is over. Republican consultants: Hell yeah let’s have the puppy killer build the concentration camps and the corpse defiler fire the cancer docs, our base is going to love you forever.

Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass who would by very disappointed in all of this BS but would never, ever stop fighting (or getting his photo taken)

To be clear, AP said it would accede to Trump changing the name of Denali back to Mt. McKinley because it was within the US, whereas the Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water not subject to the US's exclusive control. This is what you get for meeting an authoritarian halfway.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

In a phone call with The Tribune Thursday night, Rep. Trevor Lee denied ever saying Nazi flags could be displayed in schools. Here is video of Lee saying Nazi flags could be displayed in schools.

There should be a law where if you kill a billionaire you get all their money. Then you have a week to spend/give enough of it away to not be a billionaire anymore. Otherwise someone can legally kill you and take your money.

Hanging out with my 68 year mother and even she knows about the Drake / Kendrick rap beef and that Drake is sueing like a bitch.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Y'all fucking with me.

I wonder how far away we are from Google and ChatGPT etc responding to questions about trans people in the way that DeepSeek does about Tiananmen Square
