I dunno, I feel like an achievable way for Elon to improve at keeping a partner would be to stop constantly offering other women his sperm in little cups
I know people think Musk only bought Twitter to help the rise of fascism.
While that’s important, I still think it’s secondary to his primary goal, which was to own the place where his fans praise him.
With AI, Musk’s use of the platform for love and validation is only getting more transparent.

"We civil servants organized to help our colleagues face the hardship of the shutdown, we put up with the pain and our only request was to not be betrayed like this. Trade our pain, make it count."

Tim Kaine’s statement was almost literally this: Some GOP senators are worried that their cruel and unusual treatment of the American people may cost them the midterm elections, so we Democrats are actively helping them avoid not getting re-elected. Unreal. Bipartisanship under Trump is an own goal.

It is extremely hard and brave to be a woman who wants to take away other people’s rights, including women’s, and for that I am feminist

“Being a conservative woman in a law school, particularly, takes a lot of courage and independence, and in many ways shows more feminism than just falling into some predetermined vision of what a woman should be.”
