PAB and Musk are authoritarians, as are many of their fans, friends, and sycophants. Whiny, self-centered, easily offended with reactions that are inversely proportional to the offense.

Most bosses know/accept that there are employees that don't like them, but authoritarians will fire you if it *seems* like you don't worship the ground they walk on.

PSA "It's ok to be white" is not an apolitical statement.

It's the product of white supremacists workshopping the most innocuous-sounding dog whistle for their beliefs.
It means "white power" whether you know that or not. That's the whole reason you're seeing it come up.

It's here to motivate anyone on the fence to join their side of the culture war, "see, we can't even say it's okay to be white! Who's the 'real' racist now?"

As an atheist, I wish there were more Christians like Jimmy Carter. He lived his many years striving to make this a better world. If there were a just god, he would deserve another go ‘round.

Despite what the right would have us believe, there is no equivalency whatsoever between the documents found at Biden's old think tank and Trump's theft of hundreds of classified documents stashed at Mar-a-Lago. And now, none other than Karl Rove has gone on Fox News to make just that point.

When Fox News loses Karl Rove... 😂

@MartinFarrent @bls @Coho @tofugolem @1finekitty that Bluesbreakers record is amazing one of the finest guitar records ever and of course Cream but Clapton's literally done nothing in 50 years that adds to the legacy; if he cut his hands off in 71 my record collection wouldn't change a whit

Fun fact: One reason why people guilty of seditious conspiracy are supposed to be imprisoned for up to 20 years under Title 18 of US law, rather than being invited to CPAC parties and Tucker Carlson's nightly tribute to Putin, is so that precisely this doesn't keep happening. #USpol #politics

Otherwise, it’s just an easy bake oven.

Or Water Boarding.

There was a bit of dripping during my hair coloring this afternoon so I decided to do my best Ghouliani.

When my son was growing up I would tell him that everyone has an agenda. It's not necessarily a bad thing but you need to see what it is so you can combat it, if it's bullshit.

To all of my international security girlies, anytime you feel a hint of imposter syndrome settling in, remember that Elon Musk has an opinion on the future of tank warfare.
