Surprising from the man who shuns empathy as weak and has the emotional IQ of a toaster. Struggling. Of course he doesn’t understand why nobody likes him. futurism.com/musk-struggl...

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

Holy crap! Trump did something I agree with. Going to get awful cold in hell...

Spot on by Bill Gates. I knew he thought this but am glad he finally said it publicly. He has put up with such shitty misinformation from Musk over vaccines too.

As a former supply chain management consultant, I can tell you this is all true. And this is just the beginning… prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

I wonder who was president 3 years ago? finance.yahoo.com/news/us-econ...

This an education issue. Women have been doing better than men in schools for years. Polls have shown that Trump supporters tend to be either really rich or largely uneducated, or sometimes both (at least temporarily rich). Alt Title: How NOT to get laid. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

As an Army brat who grew up in Germany, this story is kind of heartbreaking - and indicative to what the USA is losing worldwide. worldcrunch.com/opinion-anal...

Anybody remember when Kamala Harris was vilified in the media for saying she would largely continue with the (then) current team's policies and would not have done much differently? Seems quaint now, doesn't it? www.cnn.com/politics/har...

Trump says he’ll use revenue from tariffs to “offset” more big tax cuts. Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations. But revenue raised from tariffs will be coming disproportionately from average working people. See how this works?

After this past week, I am going to have to take an "all media" break. It's just too much anymore. It breaks my heart to watch the USA do itself so much harm. Our family sacrificed quite a lot, my father especially, and it hurts to see what's come of it.

While it takes years to correct and improve the economy, turns out that it only takes a few weeks to trash it.

Veterans gave it all for this country, but Trump and Musk just fired nearly 6,000 of them. And where are the House Republicans? . . . Selling out our Veterans to billionaires!!!

Anyone remember when Kamala said she wouldn't change much from Biden's policies going forward? Seems like that would have been nice compared to the civil and economic cliff we're headed over now. There are probably even some Trump supporters who feel that way now...

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. " They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory Trumpenomics

No surprises here. This is the result of private schools, home schooling, vouchers, and generally defunding education. And - it’s exactly the result the Republican leadership wants. Keep ‘em dumb and scared. www.the74million.org/article/acro...

I'm becoming convinced that I'm hallucinating or have been sent to an alternate world. Isn't Trump a convicted felon? The Village People are okay with him now? There's going to be tariffs? I hope I wake up soon. Awesome Photo @reuters.com #everyoneisasellout

This needs to spread worldwide, and not just Tesla but Starlink and Space X too. If people and companies start it, governments will follow. electrek.co/2025/01/16/t...

Bring on the bots... Seems like there's a lot more of these lately. Is there any solution to this @support.bsky.team?

Solid article by @juliusgoat.bsky.social. Not sure the premise that "We all live in the same world" is true (if ever, or yet?) but it's a good "reframe." Instead, it seems we live our own little worlds in which we rarely agree on anything, especially reality. www.the-reframe.com/peaceful-sol...

I have mentioned or referred to this article a lot over the last ten years. Somehow, it seems surprising that the really smart billionaires that he's talking about still don't see this coming... www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Was a this a CEO level decision I wonder? Anyone know if there were any recent events that might have precipitated such a reversal? www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/a...

Despite excluding education defunding, this explains a lot about how we got here, but it doesn't say where we're going. There is an undercurrent of anger in the USA. The election, the UHC assassination - there are lots of indicators. Eventually it will boil over. whowhatwhy.org/politics/us-...

Things that drive me crazy: Just finished reading "An American Requiem" by James Carroll on my Kindle and it has a massive typo that is repeated at least 50 times: It is not "Boiling Air Force Base." It is "Bolling Air Force Base." How can I help get this fixed! #jamescarroll #authors
