I should add that in addition to being much funnier than anticipated--Musk is going to be intensely humiliated by this movie, it's going to attack the deepest wounds he tries so hard to conceal--it is also bone-chilling. I think he gutted USAID with DOGE to kill masses of people in the third world.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

This week the Trump administration ran a 30-second campaign spot on Fox News and Newsmax, labeled "Paid for by the U.S. Government." This kind of propaganda using taxpayer dollars is unacceptable and very likely illegal.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

this is because the media likes Donald Trump and wants to help him rule us like a king. They see themselves as his little helpers. They do this because they like Trump and think he's a good President and want him to stay in power.

1) DHS asks a federal judge for a warrant to hoover up private data from journalists, activists, and trade unions. 2) Judge denies because it is an obvious violation of the 1st and 4th Amendments with no justification. 3) DHS issues its own "Administrative Warrant" and sucks up the data anyway.
