Elon Musk and his fascist friends in the administration never complain about censorship in countries that actually censor Americans.

They comply with regulations in Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China.

They complain about Europe only because they hate liberal democracies

The EU has slapped a fine on Musk's X because it is untransparent and supports deceptive practices. Nothing to do with "censorship."

Holy Smokes. Ireland just elected a left-leaning female president and she's awesome!

A former psychologist, former barrister, former competitive badminton player, ran so many marathons she lost count, and comes from a family of 14 siblings raised by a single father. 🫣 🇮🇪

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

Absolute perfection. A completely unique voice. Fragile and strong. Not leaning on a single jazz, blues or gospel mannerism or cliché. The enunciation of firsT Time is just sublime, as is the composition, the arrangement, the whole thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqW-...

This is how the thinking goes.

1) Humanity faces grave, existential threats.

2) Nobody understands this but me.

3) Therefore I should have unlimited power.

4) And anyone who disagrees is an enemy of humanity.
Musk spiking the ball, reveling in his role drafting an email to all federal employees inviting them to resign.

The subject line was “a fork in the road”

He sent an email with the same subject line to Twitter staff after he bought the company

A very good point that goes far beyond economics. Your description of the world is not objective if you make subjective choices about what to include in it. (Which we do, unavoidably.)
I explain here in 2 mins how economics can make things disappear using the analogy of economic models like spotlights in the theatre. It's important where they point

As Hyperloop One shuts down, we need to remember that the Hyperloop was never meant to be built.

Elon Musk’s goal was never to transform transportation for the masses, but to stop or delay high-speed rail from reaching North America. Sadly, he succeeded — and we all lost as a result.
The Hyperloop was always a scam
It's time to be honest about Musk's vacuum tube to nowhere
