Nazis: "that's a nazi salute"

Historians: "that's a nazi salute"

Average person: "that's a nazi salute"

The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

very cool that the guy our media and political class spent two decades pumping up is doing literal nazi salutes while trying to shift multiple countries’ political systems to the far right

It's important to understand that SecondStreet, the organization behind this report, is a dark money think tank.

SecondStreet's donations:

2021: $254,505
2022: $620,438
2024: $1,045,000

SecondStreet's donations rocketed into the stratosphere right when talk of healthcare privatization took off.

Is Elon Musk trying to take over the world?

The world's richest man helped Donald Trump get elected.

Now he seems to be setting his sights on Canada, the U.K. and Germany.

Not good!

As I keep saying, we have a tremendous undiagnosed narcissism problem in this country. Our individualist, pull-yourself-up-by-your bootstraps mentality has evolved into outright pathological self-importance for some, and it's killing people.
And to @jamellebouie.net's original point, if they are wishing illness or death on others, it's because the illness and death of people who've made what they see as "bad choices" validates their belief in survival-of-the-fittest and proves that they're among the "fit" who deserve to survive.

One thing I'd like NO ONE to forget, with Patrick Brown in the headlines right now:

Two women accused him of sexual misconduct, which CTV News reported. He "sued" and settled for ZERO dollars.

CTV only had to correct an element of ONE of the allegations.

So yeah. "Interference" or not, he sucks.
With Patrick Brown in the news, a look back on an interview I did right after, "Takedown: The Attempted Political Assassination of Patrick Brown," book came out 2018. In it “he outlines why he believes his own party had a hand in his troubles.” @tvotoday.bsky.social

The echo chamber criticism is bizarre. Anyone can join Bluesky. Anyone can block anyone. You can create whatever weird little echo chamber your little heart desires. X was an echo chamber too, it was just forced on everyone by the algorithm.

Derek Guy, welcome to The War on Cars.
If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.

When a commercial space is both big and expensive, the tenants tend to be deep-pocketed corporations. So instead of an independent perfumer, you get Sephora. Instead of an brand selling niche workwear, you get J. Crew. This leads to homogenization in fashion (and culture).

Hm, this group seems to want basic human rights and to be left alone. But them asking for that upsets this other group, which really likes dehumanizing, attacking and stripping rights from that first group for imagined reasons

The effectiveness of propaganda. A friend who is an MD who I have always thought of as evidence based said she isn’t going to get any more RNA based vaccines. She has not had a negative vaccine reaction and she can’t really put into words why she doesn’t trust them.
