They’re clearly plugging this dude into an IV regularly and, if this were Biden, there would be demands for weekly hour long press conferences from his doctors on his health. But that’s not how authoritarianism works so stop asking questions already.

The only thing I will say about the Salah situation is that I don’t remember a moment where he took responsibility for his performances during our poor run of form before blasting the manager/coach for dropping him but I also have ADHD and a poor working memory.

Does this answer the question about why one of Elon’s 1st acts was to kill USAID (condemning 100s of 1000s of people to death?)
![Mass Deaths
From this point onward, Bach speculates openly about mass death. "Maybe climate change is a good way of dealing with overpopulation... the earth's forest fire... potentially a good thing for the species," he writes.
He goes further still: "too many people, so many mass executions of the elderly and infirm make sense... if the brain discards unused neurons, why shold socieity (sic] keep their equivalent".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jmu5wxhgzspuoig4kssnvu7b/bafkreidbgt4ycst7zmvbl6vpub26icuewb7grtsxprm5im25f6nuea4z44@jpeg)

Anyone who says “be normal” betrays that they have an implicit value system of who is considered normal and who is not, and when you have that, you will always value some people and traits over another. They will always replicate hierarchies of power in the long run.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

It's the year 2077. All movie studios belong to Netflix. Cinemas only play trailers for their streaming catalog. Every franchise is canceled after two movies/seasons, on mandatory cliffhangers. Nothing from before 2002 is available. Owning physical media is punishable by death. Netflix is love.

That implies that it's new, & restricted to where there are data centers. Absolutely not the case. This is bog standard for rural areas with a lot of livestock, & has been for decades.
