Elon Musk, guilty of fraud? A defrauder? Fraudulent? A fraudster? Fraudacious? Fraudelightful, fraudelicious, fraudelovely? Who ever would have guessed? I mean, really? Who?? Seriously, you could’ve knocked me over with a feather. A feather from a little blue Twitter bird.

Florida brings in over $127 billion a year from tourism, nearly 8% of its economy and it relies on your vacation dollars. Just like the Tesla boycott, withhold your money. Don’t fund cruelty.

Apparently, the lawyers at Paul Weiss and other firms who caved aren’t aware of the complexities of playground law. How can anyone hire a law firm that apparently can’t anticipate consequences that even a 7 year old could easily figure out?

Elon Musk made a big deal about his being #ActuallyAutistic (though he used the term "Asperger's"). But the cuts he made via DOGE will cause long-lasting damage to disabled students. A thread. 1/

welp I sent an email
Hi Tripp,
I'm a reporter with the Guardian US, based in New York. I hope this finds you well.
I'm reaching out about your most recent article and its inclusion of the claim, "Young Chinese women have small fingers." What is the source of this information? The full sentence attributes the claim that such small fingers make them "nimble" and therefore "valuable" to iPhone manufacturing to unnamed "supply chain experts", but it's unclear whether those same experts are the source of the claim that young Chinese women have small fingers in the first place. Are they? How do they know? Is there a study you can cite? And are we talking length? Circumference? Is it question of muscle strength? Or bone density? What is the normative range for finger size, to what extent do young Chinese women fall outside of it, and how do you - or your sources - know this?Incidentally, how are you defining "Chinese" in this sentence? As I'm sure you and your supply chain experts know, China is a large country with dozens of ethnic minorities. It is hard to imagine that hand size is a trait linked to national identity, but the lack of specificity leaves the question open. Did hand size among Han Chinese living in Taiwan vs the PRC diverge after the civil war? Could this be a function of political economy rather than a genetic trait? So many questions. Relatedly, how are you defining "young"? Do Chinese women's fingers grow as they age? Or is size not actually the meaningful characteristic? It's hard to tell from the information you provided!
I ask all these questions because unless you have answers to them, I am afraid that you may have portrayed racist pseudoscience as if it were fact in an article for the New York Times. If that wasn't your intent, I hope you will reflect upon the long history of certain forces using race science claims to attribute suitability for certain types of labor to certain types of people, and amend your article.
Best,
Julia Wong

Twelve hours ago, Ras Baraka was just the mayor of Newark, New Jersey. Chances are that if you weren’t from NJ, you had no idea who he was. Now he’s a national figure. A household name. A hero. Jimmy Breslin would’ve recognized ICE. Another gang that couldn’t shoot straight. Only much more evil.

Stephen Miller wouldn’t know an actual Marxist if Karl bit him on the leg. He just labels anyone who rules against him, speaks against him, or thinks against him a commie. Ironic, given how far up Putin’s анус he and the whole administration are. Also, Stephen? Even Roy Cohn wouldn’t like you.

Since “Secretary” Hegseth is now a legal expert, he/him/it can report to Langell North Middle lecture hall at Harvard Law School, where he will be socratized so brutally that he’ll no longer be able to spell “DEI” (if he can even now, which, as we actual lawyers say, assumes facts not in evidence).

I wish liberals would lose the word “moron.” It’s literally the language of eugenics; it was made an English word as part of a classification system used to justify sterilizing-or worse-hundreds of thousands of intellectually disabled ppl. Keep criticizing MAGA, RFK Jr, etc. Just use a better word.
