When you see someone like Elon Musk embracing the far right, it's not because the far right has any kind of coherent political or intellectual worldview he agrees with. It's because the far right is the last bastion of shitty people - they will accept anyone regardless of their personal behavior.

The far right have no standards for behavior, identity or beliefs - you only need to share the raw desire to dominate others. The far right welcomes all manner of abusers, thieves, grifters, and scoundrels.

Logically therefore if you're an abuser, thief, grifter or a scoundrel you will eventually find that the only friends you have left are far right extremists.

I miss the early days of the Computer History Museum when they just had this massive room full of everything and you could wander it going "ooh, I used one of those!"

This is how I learned my mom was one of two business programming students in the entire class in Alabama in the early 60s, when she went "ooh, I used one of those" on a thing that was all pegboards and wires - the other woman got the only job in the state!

Stupid "my pronouns are" jokes in your bio?

Instablock.

If you don't take this stuff seriously, or understand why other people do, that's fine. Making fun of the people for whom putting pronouns in bios is important or helpful, is just being a dickhead for the hell of it.

WATCH: Elise #Stefanik knew #GeorgeSantos was a fraud yet she enthusiastically endorsed him for Congress.

The House #Republican leadership is complicit in the fraud Santos perpetrated against the public.

BOOST this post if you agree Elisa Stefanik can't remain silent and MUST disavow George Santos.

Hi Mastodon!

Just wanted to say I love you. 💕😘❤️

Folks who are surprised at the naked hypocrisy of white Christian support for cruelty to immigrants might be interested to read up on the defense of slavery in America, especially in the decades immediately prior to the Civil War. There is no end to the evil that evangelicals can justify to themselves when they believe it will bring them political power.
