Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Fuck. Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.

Jesus Christ I feel like a boomer. Somebody walk me through deleting a repost. Explain it like I’m five, or a boomer. I can’t find the button 😭

Keep fighting. Keep dancing.

New emotional support fiddly lace project to cuss at while I read happy and uplifting things that definitely won’t destroy my mental health.

Violent paramilitary forces commingling with government is a signal for society. It is a signal that attempts to kill your opposition are heroic and will be lauded. This is a pretext to violence and insurrection against those seen as the enemy. This is the stuff civil conflict is made of

Evergreen content.

Well this is a depressing fucking passage. Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism Ps if you don’t like me writing in a book, buy your own copy and don’t write in it. 😘

Never forget that Musk stood on stage at the inaugural celebrations today, did the Nazi salute twice, and quoted from the 14 words. We are now led by literal Nazis. God help us all.

OH GOOD, God’s on Bluesky!

Elon forced H1B workers to manipulate the Twitter algorithm to get Trump elected, creating and promoting fake stories & allowing disinformation from Russia, Iran, & Israel. Now they’re doing it to Germany and others. H1B workers can’t say no or they lose their jobs and have to leave the US.

Oof this one hits hard, as I try to convince people in my life that facts exist and are knowable, even facts about politics.

As an ex prosecutor I’m most disturbed by Trump’s utilization of social media to intimidate witnesses against him. This should be yet another criminal charge of interference in a criminal investigation. This is the most troubling aspect of Jack Smith’s report. See attached.

The special counsel report affirms that Trump led a criminal conspiracy attempting to overturn the 2020 election, which ultimately led to the violent and deadly attack on the Capitol. He would have been convicted of these felonies had he not delayed the trial. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/u...

JACK SMTH: “but for Mr. Trump's election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial.”

Good lord why do I keep getting onlyfans girl bots following me GO AWAY. (I know they’re bots because they all have the same name and it’s “LIZZZZAAAAEEEEEEYYYYYYY” and they’re all 19.)

They’re saving the dogs. They’re saving the cats.

Oh man, yall have to read this entire thread.

Why do they love ivermectin so much???

Went for a snowlight walk tonight!

It’s a good thing tatting is impossible to take out, or I might have to not let her play with it. Which, we all know, would be animal abuse.

Messing up in crochet: it’s cool, just rip back a few stitches :) Messing up in knitting: oh you messed up five rounds ago? Easy peasy, just ladder down and pick it up the way it’s supposed to be. :) :) Messing up in tatting: YOU FOOL. YOU IMBECILE. NOW THE WORLD MUST BURN.

By the way, the thing that made me switch? When I reported a comment on the other blue app that said Black people don’t have souls, and it came back as “not violating community standards.”

Lovely October we’re having this November. #climatechange
