Elon must be a nationalised resource because he's been publicly owned
I don't like it when people repost things from Twitter because if I wanted to be on that network, I would be. HOWEVER, y'all keep on posting the Joyce Carol Oates stuff.

realizing that elon's supreme strength and weakness is that his autistic fixation is simply... himself. he is his own ouroboros and you can't grow into a likable, contented person when your soul's only sustenance is itself.
“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

we joke but there's a non-zero chance elon's mom will get involved and we may not be prepared for how funny that would be
Help mom I’m being bullied by 87 year old novella writer Joyce Carol Oates again can you pick me up

every republican is like "let's fuck over as many people as we can" and 30% of senate democrats are like "oh what naughty fun!"
More than 15 Senate Democrats join GOP to advance nationwide ban on hemp products, including CBD gummies,
oh the paul amendment is going down 78-22

we really should differentiate between "moderates" (people who hold some incoherent combination of beliefs that does not align them clearly with the common left/right axis) and "moderators" (people who choose a political group based on its social status but really just want to be hall monitors).
Self-described “moderates” and mainlining right-wing bullshit and lies. Name a more iconic duo.

putting docked in quotation marks is hilarious. you lot better shape up or daddy trump is gonna link you by the foreskin like a chinese finger trap.
JUST IN: With air traffic control system that was straining before the shutdown, Trump urges any controllers who sicked out to quit, perhaps ahead of the upcoming holidays

the people who caved ultimately sent the message that you can't "fiercely hold Republicans accountable" because all they have to do is take hostages again and there are 10 Dems who will buckle. you can't claim to be tough while signaling you have zero pain tolerance.
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

Congress can ensure that senators get to sue prosecutors for investigating their participation in an insurrection but can't prevent federal terror squads from kidnapping residents in broad daylight. Great system we got here.
congress simply cannot deliver cities that are not under active occupation by masked secret police

It's especially great because she never names Musk, even tho it's obvious who she's talking about, so it can roast him in the present while being able to endure as wisdom when another billionaire narcissist inevitably rises up to replace him.
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

it's so funny that narcissistic rich people can't avoid the siren song of twitter. all their efforts at cultivating an image to underwrite their wealth undone by their unwillingness to stay off a platform where their every deficiency can be laid thread-bare for the world.

It is your job as a politician to explain why "working together" isn't tenable. Republicans certainly don't struggle with this question.
Shaheen: "When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you know what they say to me? They say, 'Why can't you all just work together to address the problems that are facing this country?'"

I understand the anger at moderate Ds who are capitulating to the arsonists who set the country on fire but I also understand that there is immense pressure from both regular people and corporate donors to end the shutdown to keep our systems from totally buckling. No great solution here.

For conservative men, these are branches of the same tree. Houses are key vehicles for building wealth and thus status; economically dependent women make men's status more meaningful; a hierarchical social order ensures men have power to structure society around their interests.
I talked to a conservative around my age (early 20s) and I found three underlying themes to his political ideology.
1. Deep anxiety at the growing economic independence and power of women.
2. Anger and frustration at economic problems like housing.
3. A need for a more hierarchical social order-

It's pretty funny to also act like these are soft bois when clearly every dude pictured is pretty fit looking and has normative metro straight guy presentation. somebody's just salty that they're being out-read.
I've been reading in public all my life purely for the pleasure of reading and long before The Independent existed... they can fuck off with this kind of pearl-clutching, mocking, attempt to make me feel bad about it.

tbf it's hard to say if musk is smart enough to understand oates' meaning. it's like asking a 12 year old boy to grasp the emotional nuance of silent hill 2. his impression is "I like James and this game is mean by making me feel bad".
