1/ I gotta be honest, this just reeks of bullshit. A group who are infamously obsessed with Nazi/fascist aesthetics using “Yom Kippur” as a title for a song about Gaza in which not a single Jewish artist appears to be involved?

Let’s see how they talk about it then:
And sitting for a couple of interviews, with surely more to follow; 1 of 2:

"In 5 years every party will feature a fart" - Elon Musk

ELON: If you want to have a good time at a party, there’s this thing called a whoopee cushion

JOE ROGAN: I’ve heard of these

ELON: You put it on someone’s chair and it [laughs uncontrollably for six minutes] makes everyone think they’ve farted

ROGAN: And this technology, it keeps getting better

Read all of this. This is everything and everybody we were trying to warn about.
NEW: When RFK Jr. first told Trump that Tylenol might cause autism, the president wanted to tweet out a warning. Kennedy told him not to do that. There was nuance, and the drug companies would push back. “I don’t give a shit about that,” Trump responded. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Why is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. so convinced he’s right?

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

People have got to find a lower-stakes outlet for their parasocial fandom urges than politics.

Yes because the crooked businessman who exists to enrich himself and his cronies is surely a man of the people.

It’s disturbing if not surprising seeing idiot MTWIDN takes in place of “the mayor-elect swallowed his nausea and kissed ass to try and keep NYC from a deluge of state terror”
Lotta words here to say "I am a Republican, actually"

I’m having that thing where you log on to social and everyone is reacting to the new thing but the reactions are vague, aghast, angry enough that you’re struggling to figure out exactly what the new thing is. German must have a word for this.

Look, I understand why M made the gamble to do it - if it keeps goon squads out of NYC then price of politics - but can we at least acknowledge that the T agenda is still raging fascism?
Trump says he’s ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali refugees in Minnesota “immediately.”

Tonight’s discourse bores me

what good policy would you pitch trump in a meeting that you think he’d half remember well enough to keep talking about it
Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

I also think “mayor of New York likes me” holds special sway since it’s part of the approval Trump’s been desperate for since the 80s
