Goddamn NYT sucks.
Elon is "back in politics" is such irresponsible phrasing.
Did he stop owning X which shapes politics daily and aided Trump's election?
Did he stop controlling satellites that provide internet access to which he gives and takes?
Is he not connected to NASA thru SpaceX?
etc ♾️

an easily-overlooked detail in this piece: Musk appears to be living out of a hotel suite these days, which strikes me as a subtle but important indicator of where he is in his personal Howard Hughes arc

Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

very irritating whenever anyone acts like a relative handful of incel nazi internet dwellers are representative of an entire generation. in reality when that generation see a more left-wing option on offer they flock to it
The Greens are winning the support of around half of 18 to 24 year olds.
Reform are on 5%. So much for young people's turn to the right!
And the Young Greens now have 40,000 members - the biggest youth and students wing in British politics

Full stop this is the Alberta government explicitly saying "We do not care about your rights." Notwithstanding was conceptualized to be used in extreme times and requires justification every 5 years for that reason. This is just explicitly stripping human rights www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
