Lmao frame.io jumpscare in these emails!! Do we think the links are still active. I am BIG scared to look.
You should check out www.jmail.world
It presents his emails in a Gmail style. They also have an iMessage that shows all his text message conversations, flight tracker, google photos and even his Amazon order history.

Much easier to read and process. Still utterly depressing to do so though.

if Musk is doing this for London crime, what do you think he is doing for content about American politics, an issue that affects him much more directly?
Wowsers look at what happened to posts on Twitter/X about London crime after monetisation of posts was introduced…

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

many people are going to be tempted to say this proves the weakness of peaceful protest. this is incorrect because it assumes this happening is a failure of peaceful protest rather than the mechanism by which it succeeds
It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

what impressed me most today was that a huge crowd of people who mostly had never been tear gassed managed to retreat without running or trampling each other. under a cloud of gas that was not moving (zero wind), people held onto each other and walked blind down a street packed tight as sardines
Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning.

A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.

This is the architecture to move towards disenfranchising Black Americans whose families have been her far longer than Stephen Miller’s (not that that should matter!!), which won’t happen this go round, but much depends on how many go rounds they get.

The senators voting to repeal the additional $75 billion in ICE funding represent a 54-46 majority of the American people, but the vote fails thanks to malapportionment and the filibuster

They used "anti-semitism" as a pretext to deport foreign-born students and chill free speech, and their deportation chief -- the one with the nonstandard Hugo Boss-style greatcoat -- was spouting anti-semitic insults at a US attorney

So they picked this Warsh guy because he was really against something that happened under Obama so they think he’ll be as close to a partisan hack as they can get without turning the whole board / bond markets against them. Is this roughly correct?

Republicans are literally dismantling US democracy in front of us & the US media is glaringly, obviously inadequate to the task of covering it, so they all just desperately want to return to the equilibrium, where they all shit on Biden, all nod at one another, all celebrate one another's bravery.
January 30, 2026 at 9:41 PM
The right is not the only group with a tenuous hold on reality. :/
The national press desperately misses having Biden around to beat up, so they are vowing to make the 2028 Dem primary all about Biden ... and having the gall to pretend that it's *voters* who want this.

We should find a way to liquidate these companies but in the meanwhile we should encourage them to do as much waste, fraud, and abuse with this money as possible. Soak up these demons’ cash. Charge them infinity fees for nothing. Welcome to the resistance, rapacious capital.
For comparison, Congress gave the whole semiconductor industry $52.7 billion in the CHIPS and Science Act.

The mass deportation industry will get as much or more than that over the next 4 years.

There are big companies cashing in as quickly as they can. And all they care about is the bottom line.
For years, Omni Air International has been ICE's only large-jet charter for Africa and Asia deportations -- usually a handful of trips a year.

Last April, Omni's parent company was purchase by Stonepeak, and since then, ICE trips have skyrocketed.

Honestly good to see from senate democrats, kinds shocked they were all in unison here
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

I think publishing is an area that is ripe for us to convert from the distributor model to the curator model. That’s essentially all publishers are at this point. Self-published work isn’t looked down on bc it’s bad, it’s looked down on because it *might* be bad bc nobody curated it.
