As an occasional writer about superhero things who used to complain that "supervillain runs for office and wins" storylines are stupid because everyone knows Norman Osborn is the Green Goblin and they've seen him murder people on TV, I've had to reexamine many of my priors

In a heathy democracy, the WHCA would fight this by boycotting all WH and travel events until the old system was restored. But they’re going to roll over and do whatever it takes to maintain “access” so they can be lied to in comfort

Reporter: If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say? Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Fuck off.

submitted 8 days ago • 120 comments

That’s why I hate it when powerful people reply to Musk by first throat clearing with respect, admiration etc before getting to the issue. If you ever did respect him, that’s sad. But at this point any deference at all is dangerous. Do not kiss the Nazi’s ass. Give him nothing but shit. Break him.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Why anyone beyond the usual vapid techbro set would continue to work for this guy is beyond me. Just an embarrassingly unprincipled, shameless wannabe of a person.

As ever, the loss of something good and useful for Americans is framed as a loss for Democrats — in the mass media, everything becomes just a political football to be kicked back and forth instead of examined for its impact on everyday citizens regardless of political party.
