There's should be a whole subgenre of Burns channeling Elon.

That is a LOT of money for the military and raises long-term chances for major wars. The US, which many people think is a massive spender, is about 2.9% right now. Here's a list of every country that currently spends at least 5% now.

I was only able to stop by local protest for a short time, but I did manage to snap a shot of one woman's creative sign.

Why is Trump threatening the governor of California with arrest, but he refuses to even speak out against the leader of the traitorous January 6 putschists?

If those clowns in the Maya Pei Brigade could get their shit together and become part of a legitimate opposition in only two years, how far could real American men and women get of they began to pull in the same direction?

The scenes from Andor that focused on the bungling "Maya Pei Brigade" might not have been the most entertaining part of S2, but it's an interesting look at a pre-Alliance group that seem decades away from being able to take on the evil Empire. In real life, we're not even remotely that close.

Elon Musk putting a hat on a hat just perfectly embodies the problem. Just look at this picture. So profoundly unfunny, but absolutely dripping with slapable smug confidence. He thinks he's funny. He's been told he's funny. His army of sycophants assure him that everyone is laughing with him.

The hubris of economic elites deliberately sabotaging a system that they were already on top of will be written about as one of the most boneheaded, self-defeating moves in history. Yes, chaos is a ladder. But if you're already on top, it's an elevator that only goes down.
Grandpa Simpson: This elevator only goes to the basement. And someone made an awful mess down there.

8% annual cuts to a defense budget that is already, contrary to popular opinion, pretty typical as a proportion of GDP!

Holy crap, I just realized Musk is doing the Chang coup. How long until we find out he's replaced the boss with a Trumpelganger?

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.   
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out   
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert   
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,   
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,   
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it   
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.   
The darkness drops again; but now I know   
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,   
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,   
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre   
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst   
Are full of passionate intensity.

I think these two images pretty much sum up what it's like to raise children with @garnetonwinter.bsky.social

I'm inclined toward Robert O. Paxton's definition of fascism. By that standard, I think we're pretty clearly in that territory.

It's wild that in an election cycle featuring the oldest president in American history and a guy whose brain was partially eaten by a parasite, neither is the dumbest candidate in the race.

Q "Elon, are you concerned about losing advertisers?" A "Xylophone baloney roll." Q "What is that?" A "Ask the Earth" Q "Um, what?" A "Ask Earth planet about xylophone baloney roll. EARTH." This mf'er sounds like he ate a whole Kanye West.

I know there are people who can do these things in like ten seconds, but I'm pretty happy to have figured it out without tips or algorithms.
