i am not sure that i could name someone in business who has burned more name capital than musk has. like, you usually have to look at entertainment or sports, and it’s usually people like phil spector or OJ. maybe bernie madoff applies here.
you can be excited and inspired about the future if you don’t drive away everyone who once cared about you and replace them with weird fanboys. musk fundamentally needs longshot projects because his own choices have made his personal life a barren wasteland
"Life cannot just be about one sad thing after another," says the man responsible—directly or indirectly—for like 90% of the sad things that happened in the past year.

musk has so epically mismanaged his own life that he cannot find real comradeship even with those who share his malign intentions. epstein, trump, and other malcontents all grew tired of him or judged him too undesirable to keep at anything other than arm’s length

80,000 people is just a number that makes my stomach clench thinking about it
ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

also the fact that the largest single faction of actually existing Hawaiian independence activists are monarchists who want to turn Hawaii back into Brutal Pineapple Dubai, which is what it was before independence. the actually existing descendant of the Hawaiian communists is the Hawaiian Democrats
my favorite part of the Hawaii independence dead enders is that they are also almost universally anti-tourism
and it’s like, you realize that as an independent country Hawaii would have to be *even more reliant on tourism* to sustain its economy and standard of living

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

It is vastly underappreciated how much Nazism was a gradual ramp-up that started slower than this
