If any of these guys spent 1 hour with someone outside of their ideological bubble they might have learned something. For example, if you think you can cut the deficit via personnel cuts, you are a fucking clown who does not deserve to be listened to. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/a-year-on-...

Musk seems to have genuinely thought the government was Twitter. This was one of the rationales for hiring him - he dramatically cut Twitter’s personnel and underlying costs, and no big deal! But one major difference is that unlike a tech firm, personnel for the federal government is a minor cost. Because federal employee salaries make up only about 5% to 6% of spending, you can fire a huge proportion of them, and barely put a dent in federal spending.

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

Anyone asking for votes or power has to commit to not only anti-corruption reform but throwing these criminals in jail. There’s no more playing around with this. No more civility bullshit. Fucking jail for the whole litany of crimes, corruption, financial, war, human rights abuses. All of it.

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

Political winter for this party isn't enough- they haven't just burned through foreign and domestic goodwill to appease an increasingly demented white nationalist tyrant, they've done so thinking they'll be in power forever in defiance of democracy and the Constitution itself.

Every now and then, it’s worth saying what ought to be obvious: trans people have always existed, and will exist as long as humans do. They’ve not done anything wrong by wanting their existence recognised, supported, and celebrated. The transformation of their existence into “an issue” is evil.

obsessed with thomas. happy pride 🪿🌈✨

tumblr post with a screenshot of an article titled “Blind Bisexual Goose Named Thomas Who
Spent Six Years in a Love Triangle With Two Swans And Helped Raise 68 Babies Dies at The Ripe Old Age Of 40”

subheading: He's a bit much

MAY 29, 2024

RIP to the legend

tumblr post continues

This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!
(link to Thomas’ wikipedia article)

I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:

• He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.
• Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.
• Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.
• When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.
• Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.
•Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.
• As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.
• His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."
• Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper.
He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.
• Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.

There was a flurry of “Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton made an EPIC mistake with Scott Pelley” that missed the engine of this entire movement: they don’t care. Until there are consequences, they have vast resources to just. Keep. Going. They know Pelley will be forgotten in a week. They don’t care.

New from me & Peter Kiefer. Nick Bilton is making $2.5 million for his new "60 Minutes" gig. Sources tell us that salary is $1 million more than what "60 Minutes" veteran Tanya Simon was pulling down for the same job before she was ousted by Bari Weiss.
