When you make 1 trillion dollars, you have won the game. They should give you a parade and a gold statue. And then take away all your money and you start New Game+ with tougher enemies.

All the right now has to offer is conflict. Some of its key figures have moved on from culture wars towards what seems to be a deliberate effort to foment civil war. If you're a conflict entrepreneur, the worse it gets, the better it is for you. Where they break, we must mend, building community.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Anyone telling me that this is a “fair” way to manage immigration can seriously fuck off. It is an odious, senseless and deeply discriminatory policy that yet again benefits the “right” kind of immigrant - and I say this as one of the supposed “right” kinds. Hard no from me.

As we move into “foreigners are cancelling Christmas in the name of political correctness” season it’s worth remember that Christmas was indeed once banned in England, by Christians and the man who enforced the ban has a statue in his honour outside the Houses of Parliament.

The truth behind the photo-op.
Julie Gray

I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet let meant to preserve it.

Is Musk n antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his body guards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath if ever there was one.
