Over the past two years, Elon Musk has lost $200 billion.

Don’t tell me we can’t afford a wealth tax.

EASTER BUNNY CAT

Needs a break after hiding all of those da** eggs!

@rvawonk Twitter needs to be careful, as they have been fingered as the vector Russians used to leak US and Ukrainian classified documents on the war. Some of those tweets even contained information that the Russians modified before uploading it. If #Musk has not caused #Twitter to take down the leaked documents, he makes himself complicit. And the #DOJ is now investigating...

Ugh… this Harlan Crow mess is gonna end up with a whole lot of well-respected people in the social tech community getting exposed for a whole host of weird neolib/cryptocon bullshit, isn't it?

To Recap: It was disclosed today that the American Academy of Arts and Sciences hosted a series of events around the country on "the Future of Democracy," wherein each individual event was coordinated by local staff (fairly common practice), and no one involved raised any alarm when the Dallas team suggested Harlan Crow's museum house.

That is, "Harlan Crow," as in the known ultraconservative mega-donor, and "museum house," as in the massive mansion he has seemingly crammed to the gills with nazi memorabilia placed right alongside *honoured artifacts by and about his american and british conservative heroes*.

And like… If you ever go to the Holocaust Museum, you will see many horrific things, and they will be presented to you in a way that contextualizes their horror and makes you feel and understand in no uncertain terms exactly how terrible it was and is.

But as can you see in the screenshots below from this Washingtonian article (https://www.washingtonian.com/2023/04/07/clarence-thomass-billionaire-benefactor-collects-hitler-artifacts/), this Harlan Crow shit is not that.

But wait! There's more! When the alarm WAS raised by attendees (who Immediately left [but didn't tell anyone in public about it until now so 🙃😬]), the organizers then got DEFENSIVE about the choice and did *Nothing* about it.

So.

Like i said: this is gonna be a drip-drip-dripping MESS.

Ahh well.

*Dusts off the ol' "Ruat Cœlum, Fiat Justia" placard*

This is a pretty big deal and deeply involves the Internet. - DOJ opens investigation into leaks of apparent classified US military documents - https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/07/politics/pentagon-leaked-ukraine-documents/index.html

This has lost me 6 followers so far which tells me it would’ve made for a great tweet.

i officially consider the first screenshot as my first real "toot" on #Mastodon, marking when I officially began using the #Fediverse in place of the #birdsite as my main proving grounds

however, the second one is one i am still proud of and really was my first post ever here

regardless, i it's damn cool it has been 142 days since my last #doomscroll and the last time i was angry on social media

i still believe you have to work to be enraged here. and that's why this place fucking rules.

#JohnMastodon is the soother and we are the soothed.

@Shells
Not only was he involved, but he was actually the GrandMaster of the shameful, disgraceful butchery of the proceeding. He allowed himself to be lured into the web of operative deceit orchestrated by the Bush WH and GOP. MAGA then and MAGA now. He misled Hill and her attorneys and blacklisted witnessing that would have revealed Thomas as the vile, grits-eating grinning whore for anyone who paid.

Cruelty is the point.

"in 2021, author Neil Gaiman scolded the Museum of Modern Art on Twitter for not crediting Tony Abruzzo, whose work was appropriated for the 1963 Lichtenstein painting “Drowning Girl.” The MoMA site now credits Abruzzo."

Good article on Roy Lichtenstein and a few of the artists he copied.

Have I told you lately how much I love Ospreys? 😍
FUN Fact: When flying with prey, an Osprey lines up its catch head first for less wind resistance.

Gov. Abbott requests Board of Pardons and Paroles review Daniel Perry murder case | kvue.com

Wow. “KVUE has reached out to Abbott, a former attorney general, for additional comment on how he reached this decision. The trial was not broadcast, and Abbott attended no portion of the two-week trial that included about 40 witnesses.” What a jealous DeSantis wannabe.
