Elon’s interviews stating he believes the vast majority of human beings are literal NPCs in Big Skyrim is the Rosetta Stone for American elite discourse.

Really unnerving point from Nicole Hemmer, historian of the right: Trump's Epstein fiasco could drive MAGA to push him to go even fuller authoritarian, because the whole project is now in such serious doubt. She's so good on MAGA's future.

Below are two videos showing the White House vs Waldorf Astoria renovations. Can someone knowledgable about the relevant trades breakdown what it took to do each one? What was the process? How much human skill and craftsmanship were involved?

I’m seriously not trying to rain on anyone’s parade but “you can see the Northern Lights in New Mexico” seems like a line of dialogue in the first ten minutes of a movie where the world ends.

I said this recently @pfrazee.com but it’s worth repeating. These auto-moderated replies are *putting people in danger*.

When you’re someone who receives death threats (like me) or has a stalker (like @regretagarbo.rip), the site automatically hiding replies from us puts us at EXTREME risk.
@pfrazee.com can we please address the safety concerns with this automod? this is putting people like me in danger.

(i am tagging you because your team refuses to use official channels to announce rollouts and policy changes. this is a change that was announced by you.)
twitter hiding replies from me is how my stalker was able to reply to me for months talking about raping me and cutting me into pieces without my knowledge. he was violating my protection order and i didn’t even know it.

it kept him out of jail.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

Hiding replies without my consent is *dangerous to me*

I use the mute function extremely carefully for a reason

I need to know if people are being violent at me so I can take action to protect myself

I need to be able to choose for myself who hidden

What if we paid taxes to maintain valuable systems that save lives?
In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
