I can’t think of a more embarrassing thing for a grown man to say than demanding his mortal enemies just kind of give up

I don’t know what to do when people can’t figure out what is an increasingly obvious and consistent pattern of collaboration with trump in ending democracy. I just don’t.

I have not enjoyed being able to see this coming but not figuring out how to stop it 😢

it’s not a strategy, they’re just rolling over for trump and they say stuff like this to trick people into thinking it’s some sort of plan. I’m genuinely embarrassed for America that there are still people taking them at face value

No one person will ever meet this moment.

there are a lot of guns floating around as is

I think worse than that

I appreciate the offer but be careful over there too!

If they are going to cut social security checks from old white Republican voters than I’d say they are in total not giving a fuck about anything territory and anything is possible I guess

Uncannily prescient I think

We ended up in the bad timeline!

One of the only good things that came out of the entire political crisis was the chance to meet even indirectly other people that gave a damn.

In a few weeks when checks stop going out, pretty much everyone is going to be paying attention and I think pretty angry. I don’t know what happens after that.

More people are paying attention but not enough. I believe we are getting some sort of intentional economic crash combining destruction of long held govt benefits, spending, with forced contraction in business activity due to uncertainty. They’re cutting social security and also food banks.

I don’t know if you can go underground these days with all the technology. It’s an interesting hypothetical.

This is worse than deer in the headlights. We’re the deer looking into the headlights. They don’t even know there’s a car. They don’t even know they’re a deer.

You can tell a real life person that we’re at the point where there are multiple CPAC nazi salutes but it doesn’t register as, like, a problem.

Funny lookin guy pensively waiting

This is how it feels right now

People keep asking why no one is raising the alarm or why no emergency measures are happening or why people in power are letting this happen, but I’ve realized over time that they do not actually want the answer.

There is still an opening for a good list person, maybe more than one. It’s journalism and people would pay for it.

Received family members social security card replacement- took a week to get. Got dogs microchip info updated. Tomorrow we tackle “what to do if they ban ssri’s” and “rat proof storage containers”

Recognize any of the guests

When you combine this with the Biden DOJ letting trump escape with no consequences, you have to ask whether they actually want to win

If anyone has any good plans on how to stop the relentless march of dystopia in America and globally that they can immediately operationalize don’t hold back for dramatic effect

It would take bringing the entire country to a screeching halt to stop this. I think Twitter might be deboosting content of people protesting, it feels kind of hidden.

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

Part of his power is his cult following which is disproportionately made up of Tesla investors who might feel differently if it goes under 100

Very few things could weaken musk but Tesla failing as a brand would be one.
