“Multiple recently elected GOP congresspeople applauded Marjorie Taylor Greene, who told the NYYRC crowd in the event’s closing remarks that the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol would have succeeded if she had planned it and that the insurrectionists would have been armed.”

Meet Elon.
Elon ruined Twitter.
Meet Elton.
Elton quit Twitter.
Be like Elton.

@stux Elon Musk has always been like this. He was a Covid denier in 2020 and pushed Chloroquine just like Trump did. Every lie that the Republicans pushed, he pushed back in February/March of 2020 and beyond. #Mastodon #News #ElonMusk #Twitter

shout out to everybody who bought a Tesla to save on gas or show off or whatever and is now trying to figure out what to do with the fact that they’re driving around in a $45,000 MAGA hat

#QElon is in a rich white guy cult called “longtermism” which means he believes that he knows what “must be done for the future of civilization.”

The corollary to this delusion is that he thinks the rest of us are not only too dumb to understand “the future” but that we are actually in the way.

He knows full well the destruction he is wreaking but like all abusers say, it’s “for our own good.” This is a sick, dangerous man.

For those wondering, ′′ how did i do it?":
I Boiled 10l of water, added 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, two cups of coke and half cup of lemon juice then stirred well .
Waited 3 minutes, put the pan in the solution for 45 minutes, then added a quarter cup of chlorine bleach to the mixture.
Then I brushed it with a firm toothbrush and put it back into the liquid for another 25 minutes.
I took it out, rinsed it and it looked exactly the same, so I threw it away and went out and bought a new one.

As a security professional, not much scares me. I've seen my personal data stolen numerous times, watched nationstate hackers spray zerodays across the internet, and I'm a shameless user of TikTok. But now you have someone sitting on top of the personal data of several billion users, someone who has a long track record of vindictive harassment, someone who has the ear of the far right, and someone who has just shown us his willingness to weaponize internal company data to score political points. That scares me a lot.

Omg, I forgot it’s almost time to make a new resolution that I have no intention on keeping.

I say this not in the spirit of "I told you so" (though I did) but the people whose job it is to inform you - the most highly paid of them especially - preserved the legend of Elon Musk genius rocket man and good guy despite a long history of racism, fraud, and criminal abuse

Sure you’ve heard of Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig, but what about Jackie Mitchell? She’s the 17 yr old pitcher who struck them both out consecutively in 1931.

Babe Ruth was quoted saying women “will never make good” in baseball bc “they are too delicate.”

The next day, the NYTimes reported, “The prospect grows gloomier for misogynists.”

There’s far more to Jackie’s impressive baseball career https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/meet-jackie-mitchell-the-girl-who-struck-out-babe-ruth.html

Elon Musk’s problem is that while he’s successfully cultivating a MAGA/neo-Nazi fanbase on Twitter, he’s just lost 60% of the country that will now never purchase a @Tesla@twitter.com, and will vocally oppose any government support for @SpaceX@twitter.com. 1/

"If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you should feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction.

The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. Persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic, because in arithmetic there is knowledge, but in theology there is only opinion. So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants."

— Bertrand Russell, An Outline of Intellectual Rubbish (1943)

Ah, yes, these red dangly things are common this time of year...

100% this. Oligarchical capitalists/libertarians are committed to eviscerating every public good: education, libraries, healthcare, transportation, you name it. They successfully branded social programs as "tax-and-spend" when they really are "tax-and-serve."

We are a nation that could afford a better national rail service, free local buses, better schools and healthcare, free Internet access, etc., but the conversations have been hijacked and poisoned. It's a shame.
