Ok seeing a lot of people having what I'd call a "Noble Savage" view of "The Cheesecake Factory"

🧵🧵🧵 10 ways the planet’s richest person, Elon Musk, has been busy making the world worse. A thread. 1. Buying crooked politicians like Ken Paxton.

I keep seeing South Asian folks making grand gestures of disclaiming Ramaswamy, as with Haley or Jindal. The thing to understand is, NONE of these candidates have ever, in any race, won a majority of the South Asian vote in any jurisdiction where they were running. They are products of white voters.

This is actually a really cool idea

a livestreamed execution is just a lynching

"alleged DEI sympathies" what are we doing here

right, the first problem is stupidity

This fallen world blows in so many ways but I like and appreciate (the online persona of) Charles Keener so much.

I think Mackelmore is vexingly attractive (me)

Rein in social media not children, say over 130 groups, experts. EU urged to force tech giants to make social media safe before children use them instead of banning minors from their platforms u.afp.com/SjSM

Conservativism is defined by its defense of inequality and tradition, thus especially “traditional” inequalities, and the use of “tradition” to defend inequality. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

My man looks like he owns a Hooters-branded Discover Card

Ok but

Idea: a little holder you could put the coin in, and it lines up all the ridges so that when you hammer the top little points make small pupil holes making him look cross eyed

This hurricane has the chance to really complicate things for atheists

I wish the old El Chavo in Silverlake were still open so I could go there to raise a toast to the immortal Dolly Parton, for whom they used to have a shrine by the bar.

What happened to the portrait of Dolly from El Chavo??

The deepest cut

Trump takes egg 2.0

I swear to god

I just saw on “Pivot”: They should make a smart sequel to War Games with Matthew Broderick AND ALLY SHEEDY to respond to AI and that’s what I think about now

So there’s still hope

Funny (not funny) what qualifies as “the business” of small government republicans

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Amen

Michael Dell’s son founds company to roll out battery storage in everyone’s backyards

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

“I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed . . . I don't want to do that.”

The ADA is a promise that every one of us deserves freedom and dignity, and I’ll keep fighting until we fully realize it.

The ADA is America at its best.

I’ll put a finer point on it: The actual solution to our birth rate “problem” is substantially increasing immigration. Lyman Stone is a virulent racist and nativist bigot, so he rejects or ignores this solution in favor of pushing heterosexual Christian couples to reproduce more. That’s my response.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "I think about the maternal mortality crisis in this state, where you see Black women dying at 3x the rate of other mothers. Harris County is the deadliest place for a Black woman to give birth in the United States-- right here in Houston."

lol Threads banned the new Infowars. Silenced for TRUTH. Everybody go yell at them.

When was the last US military intervention that could be plausibly framed as "protecting our freedoms"?

The U.S. is literally a coal-roller

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

I’m 20k away from being able to take these kids to a World Cup game in Dallas. I just need somebody to come through for them. It’s a tax write off 😭

Not gonna wade in except to say anyone accusing Jamelle Bouie of not caring about Black communities or Will Stancil of not having looked at housing/neighborhood data is just not being serious

Trump suing the BBC for $10B for "ruining his reputation" is hilarious. The BBC pulling an ultimate Uno-reverse by demanding his Jan 6 phone records is even better. His lawyers are definitely sweating trying to explain how legal discovery works.

You reduce crime by reducing poverty. You reduce poverty by making healthcare and housing affordable housing and education accessible. You reduce violence by building healthy communities where people aren't forced to compete for basic needs and survival.
