Posting this every year until I die

I don’t always agree with all of stancil’s takes but man did he completely nail this one

the main effect of firing 800,000 people — in addition to debilitating the federal government — would be to plunge the US economy into a recessionary spiral that rivaled the Great Recession

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

The question I am really struggling with right now is: What is "law & order" and the entire American constitutional order *for* if it isn't a Go Directly to Jail card for guys like Donald Trump and Elon Musk for doing *exactly* what they're doing right now?

Stealing our tax money to illegally give it to their rich friends. Treating us like we're a conquered territory to be plundered by them and their friends

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Kinda makes you wonder if the White House press corps wishes it had pushed back harder on the AP being banished, don’t it?

In this rambling babble, Trump says that they sent the email to see “if people exist.” He also said they have to go to Fort Knox to see if the gold really there. Never expected “object permanence” to be a problem for a sitting president, but here we are.

Tesla isn’t going to survive. Sales are down nearly 50% in Europe. Keep the boycott going. Your protests are working. #3E #endoligarchy #boycotttesla

World’s richest man starves hundreds of thousands of poor children, while being a deadbeat dad to his own. newrepublic.com/article/1919...

Interesting description of ethnic cleansing and seizing the land for your own profit.

STOP CONCEDING ANYTHING AT ALL TO ELON MUSK

Watching John Oliver and I gotta say, the part on conservatives complaining about being censored is great. Conservatives are censored the same way I censor my dog by making her shit in the yard instead of on the couch.

Federal employees - are you tired of Elon Musk trying to contact you? Have you tried pretending to be the mother of his children?

James Carville’s advice, as usual, is shit. Democrats, do you want every constituent to be absolutely furious with you and completely disillusioned? Then sure, sit back and wait for Trump to collapse I guess

Today’s Millennial Product of Excellence is yogurt thing full of cheese. Yogurt thing full of cheese: “this isn’t sad, this isn’t cheez wiz, it’s in a thing. I had to get this in the refrigerated section! It’s PORT WINE flavored spreadable cheese, it’s for INTELLECTUALS”

The most corrupt, inept, ideologically perverse, intellectually vapid, ethically and morally bankrupt administration in US history is at the helm during a time when every major industry faces unprecedented disruption from Cryptocurrencies and Artificial Intelligence. What could possibly go wrong?

If I were AOC, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

It just remains very weird that a former heroin abuser is now trying to determine drug policy for your kids

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class

It will forever sound strange to me that "greatest country in the world/in history/etc" as a de facto law to some people appears to be entirely untethered from the things that country does

It would seem as though this is a federal expenditure that both reporters and budget reviewers might want to scrutinize

Bruce Springsteen ditches Twitter for Bluesky. 1.2M followers on X @officialbruce.bsky.social

I once wrote an episode of Adam Ruins Everything where he said that IQ is a bad measure of actual mental ability. It got some of the most wild, furious responses online. There are people who base their entire world view on a relatively meaningless number

Pesky damn lawyers, it's always "no, that's illegal" this and "we could all go to prison" that.

I will never forgive the people who bought into the "government should be run like a business" bullshit.

An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

i am mystified by the influence of noah smith, among the most ignorant and incurious people i have ever seen on the internet. just a total dummy.

If you have a device that CAN run Apple Intelligence you need to turn this off as well as the general Apple Intelligence setting. Settings > Screen Time > scroll down to Content and Privacy > turn on Restrictions > Intelligence and Siri > turn off the first three options

The only entity from the campaign promising to privatize public services was Project 2025 and Trump said he wasn't affiliated with it. You cannot claim a mandate to do something you lied saying that you wouldn't do it

đź’ĄThe Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

We're gonna look back at the media covering up Trump's senility in the runup to the 2024 election as one of the most successful propaganda campaigns of the last century. Will be a defining feature of his presidency and get worse as the term goes on.

Musk has tweeted more than 220 times in last 24 hrs. That's not counting the replies.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

a lot of people rn are like "I voted for the You're Fired guy and then he fired me, what the hell!"

It seems like I should say something pithy, but really I just want to scream "Ha ha, eat shit you murderers." apnews.com/article/unit...

These should be unforgettable incidents but we memory hole them because the media is too chickenshit to call this out. It's pathetic that anyone is scared of Nazis

Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world: 1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control 2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research 3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest” All three are under threat.

“A WaPo analysis of the data found that many of the canceled contracts were already complete, meaning canceling them didn’t yield any money back because they had been fully paid out — and indeed, 417 of the deals on DOGE’s list indicate that they saved $0.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

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.
