Ketamine makes you dumb I guess.
A screenshot of an exchange on X (formerly Twitter): Elon Musk (@elonmusk): “Remember to vote tomorrow in New York! Bear in mind that a vote for Curtis is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is. VOTE CUOMO!” Trump Tracker (@trackingdonald): “This is the third sexual assaulter you have endorsed. Which is not a lot, but weird it has happened three times.” Elon Musk (@elonmusk): “Do you have a better suggestion?”

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.
Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

The documentary “The American Revolution" erases & defames gay men - LGBTQ Nation
How can LGBTQ people be both omitted and defamed in the documentary? Simple: the use of age-old stereotypes.
