All. Of. This. From Jack White:

Jack White on Donald Trump's racist meme about the Obamas:

"This post would basically get anyone, at any job, fired immediately... except for arguably the most important position in the world.

"That's right, Trump is a racist, a racist, a felon, a grifter (currently ordering the US government to pay him $10 billion simply because no one will stop him) and a full-on dementia sufferer and yet he has the power to send in Gestapo ICE soldiers to k*ll our citizens and so much more dangerously, he has the nuclear codes and the ability to end humanity at any moment based on an egotistical whim.

"How is it possible we've given this evil man so much power? The two-party system, the Electoral College, the responsibility the Internet has brought humanity and its direct conflict with the truth, and America's obsession with celebrity are all to blame, but the fact that we're not stopping it is... insanity.

"Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th Amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail..."

"Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th Amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man.

"This long time friend of p*dophile Epstein, who appears 40,000 times in the files. This demolisher of the White House, demolisher of the Constitution, demolisher of the Bill of Rights, this demolisher of America, full stop.

"It's hard to believe the government does almost nothing about this lunacy, and we all just have to sit back and watch as a people. And when he's finally gone? We had better put into place new laws and regulations that don't allow anyone to find dangerous loopholes based solely on the assumption that our president has some sort of dignity and decency.

"Abolish these loopholes. Abolish the Electoral College. And if we had any sense, we would abolish the two-party system (that George Washington advised us never to have) that got us here in the first place and has failed not only..."

"Abolish these loopholes. Abolished the Electoral College. And if we had any sense, we would abolish the two – party system (that George Washington advised us never to have) that got us here in the first place, and has failed not only Americans, but everyone else in the world who is currently suffering from our policies and the whims of this sick, deranged man who I will state again, has his tiny bruised fingers on the nuclear launch button."

This is one of my favorite PJ albums. It came out while I was in high school and represented continued growth - both mine, and theirs, from the first 7 years of Pearl Jam music, and from grunge in general. In other words - "It's evolution, baby..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDaO...

The guy saying "FSD is close to not requiring human interaction" for the last 10 years also wants you to think that w/in 2-3 years we'll be able to defy physics to have datacenters in space generating AI compute at less cost than on Earth.

There's not enough ketamine in the universe to explain this

Oh my gd.

Musk is fucking insane with this quoted sentence from the press release on SpaceX acquiring xAI.

"This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI's mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe."

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

We MUST fill Congress with people for whom this is the base position. No more milquetoast half-measures from ineffectual corporate mouthpieces. These executions must end.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

I love when things mean to reference the word "rogue," but use the word "rouge" instead. As in "Oh no! a rouge user account in my Active Directory!"

The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.
