My motto for 2025 and beyond is:
"Go where you are appreciated, not merely tolerated."
From baristas, friends, family, acquaintances, medicos, shops, car mechanics, anyone I deal with. No reason to accept less. Life is too short. 😎 #life

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.
It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

We just watched this - it’s a work of art.
The composition of each shot, the staging - so dramatic, symbolic. The actors have such gravitas. The factionalism of the group is well-observed. As it really is.
The story is a metaphor of our times, culture wars, polarisation. The twist at the end? 👌

Musk thrusting himself into German politics once again, following the incident at the Christmas market: “German Chancellor Scholz Must Resign Immediately.”
This is exactly what he did during the UK riots in the summer. Trying to inflame a situation to disrupt government. He must be stopped.

It's not just that Tesla would have died many times over without government subsidies (~$9b in ZEV credits, ~$1.5b in federal consumer rebates, $465m in DoE loans), it repeatedly scammed these programs. It got the DoE loan under false pretenses, and hundreds of millions from faking battery swap.

As someone who has also had a spinal fusion operation (mine was cervical) and years of horrific pain, I think the x-ray photo on his profile is far more important in understanding the shooter's motivations for attacking a health insurance CEO than any retweeting activity or Goodreads reviews.
the person of interest in the shooting of the United CEO has been ID’d as Luigi Mangione, an Ivy League grad and fan of Breloom, the mushroom Pokémon.

You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.
