Remember: It’s always more important to identify actors from their previous roles than it is to watch the current movie on your screen.

We can talk about how Elon is dumb. But let's also talk about how, now that he & the Techbros are empowered by MAGA, they are taking aim at the common public squares and repositories of knowledge. Wikipedia, Bluesky, Net Neutrality, & so on. They want to control you like 21st century feudal lords.
