He did a DOGE on The Washington Post. Probably, deploying his golden parachute now that everyone that’s left hates his guts.

Just leave it in that bicycle lane over there. There’s room on the crosswalk.

Literally, the first sentence of the article.

Technically, none of those countries are English. One is partially English.

“I wanna look like the poster boy for alcohol fetal syndrome but for rich people.”

And, people have been asking them to clarify it and they just say, “no.”

They’re acting very suspiciously.

Someone needs to check his hard drives. When they go that extreme it’s to distract/hide something vile.

Holy shit. This is…. fucked up. Like, America looks almost sane in comparison.

So, these people become stateless? What then?

Probably, the feeling of superiority they get from calling pop culture “drivel”.

Sometimes it blows my mind that we can look up and see this giant sphere of rock going past and just have to accept that it’s not going fall and kill us all. Then, remember that lesson that it is indeed falling toward us but keeps missing and that some of us have figured out that it’s actually getting farther away. But, that’s not very reassuring.

That’s how you launder money these days.

I think the “verified audience” are people who bought tickets through Fandango. So, either they were the kind of people who wanted to see and like it or they bought tickets but didn’t actually go and are astroturfing.

Either way, the high ratings are definitely bullshit.

I think that’s what they mean by “on the surface”. If he had just kept the cringe quiet and stayed out of politics, he could have pushed the envelope on electric cars, rockets, robots, etc. and a majority of people would have been happy to see him do it. He had two things going for him: enormous wealth and a desire for cool tech.

He could have had as many stupidly named babies as he wanted, seethed about trans people and have time to actually get good at video games, all from the luxury of his many homes and jets. All he had to do was let his PayPal money get to work in his chosen tech industries and keep his personality out of it.

The world might have progressed a little, even. His companies would be better off. Many of us would have bought Teslas. The Cybertruck would never have happened. Twitter would… well, Twitter would still suck but it would be someone else’s fault.

That’s in rule #1 on this community.

It’s an actual conspiracy. Conspiracy theory minded people must be going insane right now. On some level, I bet they never believed their theories or, at least, expected hard evidence that other people would believe. It must hurt them to not have special knowledge.

I wonder if their theories will change to something less plausible than a cabal of rich white men trafficking in young women and girls.

Makes wonder if that is exactly what it would look like to aliens. 👽

It could be how our species responds to overpopulation pressures. Though, I think wealth concentration is a more likely cause.

So, the guy who named his companies “Virgin” is pedo? You don’t say…

This guy has been the most boring, milquetoast talking conservative head for a long time. He’s the Alan Colmes for centrist/liberal US media.

He’s made a career out of trying to make conservatism palatable to rational, empathetic audiences. He’s like a third-rate MD selling supplements and alternative therapies.

Those brackets…
