Musk being on a nativist arc when he himself is an immigrant who survives on government subsidies and fathers a bunch of kids he doesn’t take care of really sandblasts any plausible deniability about the extent to which this is just a racial thing

I took this shot years ago of local stunt pilots who practice here occasionally. The crow was as on his way over to my deck for peanuts and photobombed the shot. 😂 🌿🪶

I like that the three working theories for why Twitter broke are:

1.) Twitter is DDoSing itself because Elon is an idiot.

2.) Twitter is losing servers after the company ignored bills because Elon is an idiot.

3.) Twitter hopes to force people to pay because Elon is an idiot.
