In addition to being a fascist and a snake oil salesman, Elon Musk is a certified super creep. Content warning, this story may make you lose your lunch. This is who you enrich if you buy a Tesla. #teslatakedown
This is profoundly, the most disturbing story I've ever read. Elon Musk believes his children are a legion and he needs to make as many babies as possible before the apocalypse.
He has a breeding fetish mixed with a messianic doomsday cult obsession.

With the death of Microsoft Windows 10 about 7 months away, you have an opportunity to a) break with the US tech broligarchs at Microsoft and b) save a pile of money by not racing out to buy a new computer and instead installing a version of GNU/Linux instead on your old computer.

When will people understand that simply by saying "credit to the artist" they're actually not giving ANY credit to the artist...
This annoys me so much. Just don't reupload if you don't know who made it and can't make sure the artist allows reuploads in the first place! Please! 😭

Well this sure explains how the bathroom shit seemed to come out of literally nowhere, ugh.

This was from 2018, they were bragging about how they manufacturing a moral panic.

I’m seeing people carry the U.S. flag *alongside* trans and pride and Mexican flags (among others) at protests right now.
This is great, and makes it extremely clear who is protesting and why.
