We could be ensuring cradle-to-grave care for all citizens of the world if we taxed every billionaire. This is at *best* a tax dodge, most likely an attempt to get people to forget he's a transphobic piece of South African shit who uses his vast wealth to dismantle democracies around the world.

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

"Things have quickly escalated for Ms. Zacharia. Yesterday afternoon, a complaint was filed against her with the State Bar of California, where state law holds it as a criminal offense to misrepresent oneself as having a license to practice law."

It's crazy someone this new to her job can be called 'embattled', but we have see her (complete lack of) track record, so far...

Trump's embattled new press secretary Katie Zacharia is already under fire for repeatedly lying about her legal credentials but a far more damaging story has emerged as reports state she can not provide official records of her brief stint working at a McDonalds in the 1980s

I knew my brain was 'bad' when I was about 5-6 years old. I didn't have the language to explain to my parents what was wrong, and I'm old enough that the only mental healthcare we had was 'I'll give you something to cry about!'...

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Designer: Yes, your website that asked for me to upload my resume, and then type my resume in decided to brain fart and lost important information. That's why you're hiring for a designer...

The Nobel Peace Prize has gone to Navanethem "Navi" Pillay. The 85 year-old not only defended Nelson Mandela and stood up against apartheid, she also sat on international courts for conflicts in Rwanda, Myanmar and the Palestinian territories, and served as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Narrator Ron Howard: "They were, in fact, the reason that orange canker sore was in office." Guess all those protests clogging up the streets of state capitals was performative bullshit. LIKE I SAID IT WAS, AT THE TIME!

⛽️ MAGA TRUCKERS: “There’s no reason for this… My truck’s gonna sit there and rot until this idiot is out of office… I never thought I’d say this but I miss Biden… we’re dying out here and they don’t give a shit…” cc: @MarshaBlackburn

It's crazy to me that we can feed the planet 6 times over but billionaires don't think there's value to that, so they fool people to voting conservative, under the lie that the white voter's SNAP benefits will remain, but **Those people** will starve. Good ol' 'Christian Values'...

We have enough in this country for everyone to live with dignity. Enough food. Enough wealth. Enough resources. Hunger in a country with this much wealth should make every single one of us angry.

So a movie accurately describing Muskrat and his Apartheid nonsense...?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

The 3-hour-and-45-minute “Musk” (plus a 10-minute intermission) hits theaters on Oct. 16, but it’s already causing a stir. The documentary paints Elon Musk as an emotionally unstable grifter with more power and influence than perhaps any other human. https://wapo.st/4ydlXzL
