If you’re still wearing a mask, thank you. Please know you’re not alone. Many of us still mask, test and isolate when sick. Being the lone masker can be difficult, but your long term health is worth it. As a high risk, immunocompromised person… I see and appreciate you.

🧵Lauren Boebert had sex with three of her staffers. Two of them were women. Her sex partners were Clarisse Navarro, Jeffrey Small and Raven Finnegan. Navarro's husband Jace Ratzlaff: "I assumed this would eventually surface. I’ll have no further comment on this topic.”

Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Dario Amodei calling for AI development to slow down—but not, you know, just doing that at the companies they control—while Donald Trump is president smells like an attempt at regulatory capture.

As a Black American, I have always felt that the primary was my real election. Because at the end of the day, America is going to America. So for a candidate to switch up AFTER the primary? To advocate for my harm after agreeing to help me? That is a transgression deserving of punishment.

So while authors and publishers are arguing about divvying up the settlement money, Anthropic have got away with mass theft. Whatever they pay out is simply a cost of business. The shit machine they built with that theft still exists despite a complete lack of consent and blatant law-breaking.

This is a pogrom, incited and instigated by Elon Musk. This is now the second set of pogroms incited by Elon in the UK in 2 years.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Elon Musk (@elonmusk) quoting a post by a user named Tommy Robins... (@TRobinsonN...).
Elon Musk's post reads:
> "Only by protesting REPEATEDLY and LOUDLY will there be any change!!"
>
The quoted post by Tommy Robinson reads:
> "The whole of the United Kingdom is hitting the streets tonight at 7pm following yet another invader attack on our people.
> It's time 🇬🇧"
>
Attached to the quoted post is a graphic split into two columns detailing protest locations for "7:00 PM TONIGHT":
* **The left side** features a long, numbered list of cities and specific meeting points across the UK, such as "LONDON - PARLIAMENT SQUARE" and "MANCHESTER - ST. PETER'S SQUARE".
* **The right side** is titled "MASS PROTEST TONIGHT" and lists specific roads and roundabouts, mostly in Northern Ireland, marked as "CLOSED 7PM" (e.g., "CLOUGHFERN ROUNDABOUT CLOSED 7PM").
* At the bottom right, there is a prominent yellow box with a storefront icon that reads, "ALL BUNNESSES TO CLOSE AT 5.30 PM TONIGHT NO EXCUSES", with the word "businesses" misspelled as "bunnesses".
