Elon Musk is not set to become the world's first trillionaire because this pay package has a bunch of preconditions he will never meet. The 600,000 people he killed are dead for real, though.
The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

What I found hilarious was getting the honor of being future class and then told we couldnt walk the red carpet. What was the nail in the head for me was being put in a corner a few years ago behind the camera and then made to feel like we should be thankful for even being in the room.
EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer.
Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

it's obviously important that zohran won. but it's equally important that cuomo and the despicable, racist, contemptuous, arrogant, loathesome forces arrayed behind him were brutally defeated. they banked on new yorkers hating and fearing each other. and they lost. what a town.
