Let’s keep the standards high…and the cutlasses sharp.

According to Tim Urban’s blog article on Tesla and Muck from 2015, one of Muck’s stated goals was to jumpstart the other auto manufacturers into producing their own EVs to accelerate the trend toward a more sustainable energy future. Whether that was true then or now is irrelevant, but it is nice to see EVs of many brands being made and purchased. Obligatory Fuck Muck, existential disappointment that he will forever be.

Good ol’ wank-o-clock.

I’m sure all that arrogance will keep him safe from the people he’s about to disenfranchise. The people who have illnesses, diseases, injuries, and chronic pain that make their lives almost not worth living, but thank goodness they have medical care to assuage the suffering just enough. I’m sure those people won’t have an axe to grind if someone decided to deride them mercilessly as unproductive societal waste as they’re just trying to get through the day without treatment or medication.

She’s in the elite ruling class, so she gets to do whatever the fuck she wants with impunity while projecting false accusations onto anyone who fits in the ‘other’ category while her dumbass base of uneducated gerrymandered trolls eats it up.

Peter’s puppet will do whatever Peter prescribes. Expecting corporal Bowman to ever do the right thing for the right reason would be a grave mistake.

Actually effective real modern medicine is reserved for Oligarchs. Everyone else gets RFK feverdreams.

Sounds like an excellent ROI for everyone except the voters who wanted this product in the first place and the voters who didn’t want it at all. But hey, it’s quite a sight to see corrupt capitalism working…for itself.

Beans in a clay pot

Slide rule

Meanwhile all those nascently pathological conservakids were quietly taking notes on how docile all the decent and kind kids were learning to be so they could later be confounded and exploited by fully-matured conservative assholery in adulthood.

You’re from Alaska, too??!

Many service members are in the same position and depend on Uncle Sam to pay their bills (and, ya know, to stay out of jail for derelicion of duty or insubordination)…hence why it might be a tad difficult to “remember their oath” and stand up against vaguely illegalish orders, which might morally preserve their soul, but crushes their ability to live. Only bringing this up because of comments in other posts related to the NG and USMC in LA, but I see a close parallel of maliciously manufactured helplessness to self-advocate.

Activate the magnetron!

This sets a really dangerous precedent. I mean, what’s to stop this from happening to any other elected official? Like, if something like this could happen to a SENATOR, what’s to stop it from happening to a vice president or even president?

Nah, I get that exposed flesh isn’t always comfortable or safe and the practical solution is to just steal the skin of some other animal (or convert crude oil into super soft knit fabrics). I’m just of the personal mindset that if someone is comfortable enough in their own skin that they are completely fine going about their business in the buff, that the rest of society shouldn’t lose its shit and just be like, “k whatever u do u naked person wear sunblock.”

This is a case where every other organism on earth, except for maybe the junk bug, looks at humans with a confused air of disdain. Like, why did you manufacture this intractable problem by mandating clothing and shaming nudity in the first place?

That’s always been the tragedy for me personally. I absolutely loved the fuck out of SpaceX and what it was doing. It was the shining ray of hope for tech nerds like me hoping to work in a cool industry reminiscent of the 60s space race. And then Musk got on Twitter and got seriously weird and just never stopped.

Ha, not a chance. Putin is the absolute master of keeping his oligarchs in line. Muskateer would be just another convenient pawn of his. Wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Putin is actually the richest person on earth, far surpassing Musk’s volatile market-based wealth. Dude is pure evil, but, unfortunately for the world, also appears to be quite shrewd.
