there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

What's mad is that Musk tried to get out of the deal and only completed it when it was clear he was going to lose and be humiliated in court
twitter being bought and turned into a propaganda machine for fascism, which is directly pumped into every journalist in the world's brain, is one of the worst things to happen in the last few years. we might not survive it.
I'm guessing the BBC 'scandal' has been big on X this week as this was the first I had heard of it...

"Seeing what un-bribed they'll do / there's no occasion to"
Sometimes the GRU doesn't even need to pay bribes to destabilise Europe, they just let populists on the left do the work for free.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

This really holds up, although its notable that Goldblum's James Watson is exactly the same as Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park.
