Recap: Putin launches full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine defends itself valiantly with US support, West adapts a little to energy shock with more on the way, Trump returns to office, cuts aid to Ukraine & renewables, launches a war of choice causing new energy shock, imports fuel from Russia.

The plagiarism machine I created will likely kill us all, there’s a 40% chance, no, higher, like 75%,or more! But NO I will not “unplug it,” that’s an insane suggestion. The scientific solution is to *give me more money.*

When you appoint reality TV people to the most important positions of the government running massive federal agencies, don’t be surprised when they treat the job like a reality TV show starring themselves while we pay them and the expenses.

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited.

This is like the 18 millionth time the Trump admin has made clear they don't give a shit about how normal people are doing. Dems should be constantly highlighting this stuff with ads. No need to present any alternative policy messaging—just pure negative reinforcement of how awful Republicans are.

The case for Trump's bloated Pentagon budget, to the degree there is one, is that military competition with China will be expensive. But now Trump's basically said we're not going to contest China near its borders. So what's the $1.5 trillion for? Blowing up drug smuggling boats?

Trump advisers think the age of imperialism ended because of wokeness, not because 1) colonized peoples made colonialism untenable 2) technology made territorial empire unnecessary. They thought mere brutality and perceived genetic superiority would make wars against countries like Iran easy.

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

My proudest achievement over two combat deployments to Afghanistan was helping set up and defend the regions first girls school in decades. That, for a while at least, made the dying and killing worth it. Now we bomb girls schools and murder scores of girls my daughter’s age. We lost the war.

This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.
