We always like to say (myself included) that “it costs nothing to be kind…” and while I do 💯 believe that: depending on where a person is, in their life & journey, daily life challenges & circumstances can sometimes leave little energy for stopping to express kindness or empathy. 1/2

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Musk announces the end of the Model S and Model X programs, which were down nearly 50% last year.
We expect to wind down production of S and X next quarter, he says. Like every other bizarre Tesla decision, this is justified by Tesla's broader pivot away from cars and toward AI and robotics.

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones
