Just in case you had the slightest doubt about what Elon Musk is doing with X/Twitter, look at this brief thread. He is one of the true monsters of our era, and he uses X/Twitter to guide his fellow right-wing extremists to ever-more-extreme places.

If you are still there, you should be ashamed.

Has anyone heard anything from the Democratic establishment in response to Mamdani’s win?

I mean, like Trump is even more capable of graciousness.

What is it about the Democratic establishment? Are they pissed off that they couldn’t kill off that progressive? A guy who said we can think big […]

I had to look through some Twitter threads recently and because morbid curiosity I drilled way farther down in the replies than I needed to and ... boy howdy.

Trump is an empty narcissistic transactional vessel who is shaped by the people around him. In the right environment, this can be surprisingly harmless.

Mmmmmm... rancid oil stew. 🤪

(Starting to saponify, maybe). I think more lye required, still oily looking.

This is not the scientific method of soap making. Yes, that is random bits of fresh mint I threw in there. #soap

A reporter presses Mamdani about referring to Trump is a fascist in the past. He is trying to be diplomatic because he’s standing next to Trump and Trump said I don’t care you can just save time and I don’t care being called that.

They really don’t care being called a spade.
