How dare you ask him not to lick anything.
You’re amazing.

Is it my AuDHD? I hate the sycophancy of AI bots and just want 🤢 as I read about the Llama 4 and LM Arena.
Thank you for voicing the thoughts that have been rolling around in my head.
How long before we realize that these facts shouldn’t matter to any of us?

Our government has spent $100,000 a person to hold migrants at the Gitmo concentration camp for less than six weeks. That's about $17,000/week for each migrant. They could have stayed at a Ritz-Carlton for that.
What's this you say about government waste and efficiency, Elon?
I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.
Reminder: Typos in official communications are intentionally included by the administration to identify potential leakers. Please exercise caution with anything you share.
Nightmare: TFG tore down the Cherry blossom trees because they turned our marble city into a pink representation of soft power.
Ripping them up destroyed the FDR memorial.
They threw all of those throughout the city into choppers aimed at the Tidal Basement.
The smell of rotting mulch woke me.
Trump signed an executive order that requires federal agency heads to grant Elon Musk’s deputies “full and prompt access” to records.
