Another social media account for me to neglect, just like I did with the Tw*tt*r account I deleted the day Muskyboi bought the company.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

It’s quite possible. We shall see.
A rich and karmically gratifying outcome of this circus would be if Trump took Elon-worship as such a grave narcissistic injury that he dumped Elon—and Elon, in turn, started using X as a platform to savage Trump. Unlikely, but not out of the question, given Elon has near-identical pathologies.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

Exactly. He’s not superhuman or brilliant. He’s a blunt force object aimed at our democracy.
There’s a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake — a distraction to boost the real candidate — but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.

It’s a mistake to think Elon Musk’s fans like him DESPITE him being a mediocre sociopath instead of BECAUSE.
Revolting mob rule, Stalinist, Maoist, fascist, call it what you want, it is disgusting, with the power of the state and social media to mobilize the US version of China's Red Guard to target civil servants, professionals doing their job.

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President.
It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me.
Dammit, America. 😞

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Keeping women in bad marriages is a subset of keeping women. "Broligarchy" is a cute term, but these dipshits are aiming to do a shit-ton of restrictive and harmful things to everyone except those who look like their back-slapping frat brothers.

Okay so I am in NO WAY saying that an old fashioned volcano sacrifice would fix everything because that’s ridiculous, but I AM saying that empirically speaking there's only one way to know for sure that it won't
