@dimension20.dropout.tv The minis for Toylight look so, so good! It's unnerving how they can look adorable and funny and lethal all at the same time. Amazing work!

An idea for you, @democrats.org: Cut an ad that mashes up a couple times he's said he "hasn't heard about" something of grave national importance with this clip of him knowing more about Tiger Woods's condition than a Swiftie knows about Taytay's wedding.

Elon posted his slop video at 3:44am Texas time today, meaning it was long enough after Colin Hanks introduced a more charismatic version of him on Silo for him to have seen it. So either the show got too much right and he needs a distraction, or he thought this would make him the cool one.

I want to try (for the few who might see this) to capture the eyeroll we're all doing about "Woke 1." The false construct consisted of the social theory studied by the most educated generations, getting diluted when it reached a populace who hadn't read it, and then used by opportunists for support.

Condolences to anyone with conservative relatives who will not listen to your explanations that Islam is not inherently communist, and that neither El-Sayed or Mamdani actually is communist either, but rather that individual people have unique views, and paths to them.

Starving millions of Americans to death isn't an unfortunate side effect of GOP economics; it's the intended outcome. They're trying to "accelerate" societal collapse & violence so they can establish a white ethnostate. News outlets like @npr.org fail us when they overlook this fact.

I know there are thousands of "The REAL rot at MAGA's root" posts, but just to put this out there, in light of ICE's atrocities this week: MAGA's driving impulse is, "Why only one child for Omelas? Why not many, many more?"

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

in retrospect, it was amazing how much power people like Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell had at their fingertips in the pre-social media era. They could write an airport book claiming potato chips killed more people than all historical wars combined and it would become universal received wisdom
