My pinned tweet on Twitter from February 2017 until I deleted my account after the 2024 election was:
Tenuously trying to straddle the line between staying informed and keeping my sanity. Can’t wait until I can go back to tweeting normal stuff.
The sentiment sadly still stands.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

They’re treating the murder of Charlie Kirk like the 9/11 terror attacks, as an excuse to go to war.
But this time they’re going to war against the US.

No matter what #Musk says or does, many on the left continue to post on and pay for X, a clear example of how progressive movements are beholden to the narrative that we don't have to change anything at all about our lives to achieve our political goals.

The mainstream press absolutely loathed the idea of another four years of covering a wonky, “boring” Democrat. So they pulled hard for Trump and got their wish. They love our current situation.

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming.
The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

This is a very Nazi thing to say, actually.
Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

Looking over the Epstein book messages, I'm struck by how comfortable everyone was with compiling something like this, contributing to it, and receiving it. Something most people with common sense would avoid like the plague.
But the super-rich and powerful know how insulated they are.

This morning, Trump posted AI fan fiction of Chicago as a "war zone," adopting the chilling language of authoritarianism. He openly admits sending the National Guard is for ICE deportations, not to combat crime, effectively declaring war on an American city. This is not normal.
