It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Okay, so maybe if Rory wins #TheMasters *twice* we’ll flip back to the Good Timeline? 🤞

This entire room just collectively burst into happy tears 🥹 #artemisII #integrity

You don't have to be an "insider" to know that Altman is a fucking idiot scammer and amoral asshole, you just have to listen to him talk for more than a couple minutes, something I do not recommend because it makes you stupider and angrier the longer you listen.

We simply aren't supposed to be this aware of things

Rest in peace, Stephen Lewis. He gave his entire life to public service and impacted so, so many lives. So very glad he was able to watch @avilewis.ca become leader of the NDP. #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! We will not let you be erased 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

I didn’t think it was possible for PP to make me dislike him even more…but then he goes on Joe Rogan? Gros vomi dégoûtant 🤮 #cdnpoli

This app really should be called DoomSky 🫩

Truly a perfect news alert

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

Our first duty is to each other. Not to blame or diagnose or psychoanalyze, but caretake, nurture, and empathize. But the billionaires and politicians who rule us and pervert our society deserve no such care. They deserve our blame, our ire, our justice. We must maintain this distinction.

Do not disturb: Otterly exhausted

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Okay NOW when do they kiss

Good morning, fellow Canadians 🇨🇦 LFG 🏒🥅🥇

Get your employer to send you to my design research workshop on February 12. It's real good. The last one had such a fantastic group. You can tell your manager it's about AI. I'll do a very poor robot dance. www.eventbrite.com/e/lets-do-de...

Partager une chanson qui n'est pas en anglais:

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

No one needs any further proof that Trump is gonzo—but that is the discussion/narrative they want us to focus on. I feel certain Miller et al are rushing to get shit done before he croaks & they no longer have the dancing monkey for cover. I actually really fear what will happen once he’s gone. /end

The Palantir-built app ICE are using gives them targeting on people down to the nth degree—based on data that could only have come from things like the IRS and HHS (Medicaid, housing, education, etc.). Musk’s gang of neckbeards handed them access to all of that data. How else would they have it? /6

Miller is psychotic—all the Project 2025 assholes are. They want a purely white Christian state. That was the purpose of DOGE: Removing all non-political career civil servants who would have stood in their way. They needed a federal workforce stacked with those loyal to their fascist cause. /5

The international chaos is just an orchestrated distraction, a smokescreen to give Miller and Noem and their DHS Proud Boy thugs cover for their domestic atrocities. This is a white supremacist war on minorities and anyone who supports them. Full stop. /4

As ICE literally went door to door in MN this week breaking into homes, terrorizing and abducting people (children!), everyone was mostly focused on Trump’s absurd psychotic rambling in Davos. But the fact is that none of it is actually about Venezuela—or Greenland, or NATO. /3

The US has been taken over by what is essentially a white supremacist Christian nationalist terrorist group. Trump is not in charge. His handlers just wind him up and throw him in front of the cameras. He is the demented dancing monkey put out front to distract everyone. And it’s working. /2

So here’s the thing that has become really apparent to me at this point, US friends: The story is no longer Trump. The story is the fact that Stephen Miller et al staged a successful coup and are now running your government. Trump is just the senile narcissistic useful idiot giving them cover. /1

GodDAMN it 😤🤬 How many dozen times a day do I need to say my “Please God let it be today” prayer? This is bullshit 🤦🏻‍♀️ I mean, at least hit Stephen Miller with a bus for us, Universe. Do us like ONE solid?

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Omg—I keep dozing off and waking up and it’s STILL 2025 😤 This year is like a bad penny 🤬

Suspending Doctors Without Borders is definitely a thing healthy countries do

Sending warm holiday wishes to all who celebrate today—and honestly to everyone who has survived the bizarre f*cking year that was 2025 ❤️😮‍💨 Well done, y’all!

Does Vance have any interest in boxing do you think?

The headline is "Building Support." I swear I didn't pitch that pun, though as a housing guy, I do appreciate a good dad joke. Thanks to the Straight for making me look reasonably mayoral. www.straight.com/city-culture...

I knew Trump's post about Rob Reiner would make at least one of the late-night guys snap. I hope all of them do, but since his got out there first, I can now confirm that at least Seth did, and he did so perfectly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUW2...

The tragedy of Rob and Michelle’s deaths are incomprehensible. I’m hearing Rob’s voice telling us all to do more, to repair the human soul, to repair our hearts, to repair our country, to repair our world, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

24 hours; zero 'thoughts & prayers'. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

My favourite movie line. Thank you Rob Reiner.

Yep. (A religion to some, too.)

I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...

*looks directly at camera*

The memory of the mass femicide at Polytechnique is still painful. Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Montreal massacre, where 14 women — students at Université de Montréal’s École Polytechnique — lost their lives in a mass shooting motivated by misogyny. #December6

Saw this quote and it couldn’t be more true: “Micro joys are how we survive macro grief.”

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop
