The entire Red White and Blueland thing is Internet brain rot which Elon and his admirers both have and think is the norm. This is a Boaty McBoatface moment. Many are culpable for allowing shit like this to be "cool."

Next time some metal chud gives you the "I don't do politics man just fun" show them this. If you don't do politics, politics does you. Our healthcare system is a fucking travesty.

"If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own — which it is — and render impassable with our bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night." – James Baldwin, "An Open Letter to my Sister, Angela Davis"

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

"Masculine Energy"

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

When you love the worst piece in Chex Mix. (Skeptical of the "at least he covered it up takes, just reads like he had to in order to start doing combat sports to me)

While I understand everyone needs to do what they can to make a living - there is nothing but contempt in my heart for people going through every single book with a barcode scanner in a thrift store.

You expect me to be interested in a song that's made by ai. A thing that couldn't care less if someone puts it's heart in a blender
