People are starting to get antsy about wanting to go back to Twitter, and here’s the thing about doing good ethical things that most other people aren’t doing: you have to keep doing them, to keep being ethical.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

For people who are curious, the technology behind this "driving upside down" thing originated with the 1970 Chaparral 2J in CanAm racing. It was banned after 1 season, and it's the reason why every racing series currently bans "active aerodynamics."

A large robot haphazardly constructed from boxes and rods wanders across a purple landscape. The sky is purple, with an orange glow on the horizon. The robot has a number of yellow-green lights on its various parts. The robot's head has a large round green eye, and a neon-green halo attached to its head. At the end of one of its arms is a hand. The other arm has a tool with a glowing light on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

There's a Politico (lol) piece entirely about how Republicans' hope right now is that the polls are all way off and they only get a MILD wipeout and first of all it's full of a bunch of nonsense but the best part is how it ends on this incredible bit:
"The strategist also noted that the polling right now reflects a change in the electorate as profound as those seen after Watergate and 9/11.

“It would be so historically unprecedented you’d have to presuppose we’re staring down the barrel of a generational national trauma that no one is aware of,” the strategist said."
