Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

Against Animal Farming
The farming of animals is an obsolete tradition that denies living creatures the right to dignity, freedom, and comfort. It's also destroying the climate and the lives of industry workers. For these r...

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Funny to think of Silicon Valley hype cycles as just a continuation of the California gold rush
- The McKinseys and other huge consulting orgs are raking in bank on the hype, akin to all the people who made money during the gold rush, except for the people looking for gold.
All the things people call "laws" aren't laws and were never "laws".

Seeing this really puts into sharp relief how cynical the abundance stuff is. How can you ignore this as a future avenue for liberal politics?
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America:
1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI
2) kill universities
3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub
4) empty the cities
5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
