Impossible to tell if that look in her eyes is the glint of the delighted true believer finally getting the fascism she wants or the terror of someone whose company is hostage to the mercurial dictator she's introducing. In the end, it does not matter one bit.

"It was very important to me that Archie have a likable face -- the point of the character was to show that if bigotry & intolerance didn’t exist in the hearts & minds of the good people, the average people, it would not be the endemic problem it is in our society." -- Norman Lear, born #OTD 1922

I agree with everything but the "people buying Teslas" part. Given their stock plunge, its pretty clear people aren't buying them. But he's racist all the same. The use the pejorative, "race traitor." Our response should be these people are "species traitors", causing significant harm worldwide.

Musk is trying to normalize selective empathy (he’s said that empathy is the West’s “greatest weakness”), because an expanded and inclusive view of humanity is one of the common features of people with moral courage. To recruit ppl to his project, he needs them to think and be small, like him.

Lots of moral “off ramps” are offered to help people feel OK about not including the out-group in their moral code like moral justification (“we must preserve the white race”) and dehumanization, among others. This is what @gregsargent.bsky.social is highlighting and it is very, very dangerous 3/

Things like genocide and even lesser evils happen bc the sociopaths at the top give ordinary people a permission structure. They have a “moral code,” but it only applies to a select group of people. Those not in that group are beyond the realm of human or moral obligation. 2/

That's horrible. Both the act of course and the follow-up statement.

CBS reports that Ashley Moody did precisely what the entire GOP has accused Tim Walz of doing -- and yet, somehow, that crack fraud task force has not arrested the GOP nominee for Senate. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/f...

Other than when Chris Webber played for them, there's never a time the Sacramento Kings are underestimated. They always seem to be estimated exactly right.

“SpaceX has now erased more than $1.2 trillion in market cap since its high price of $225.64 in June – almost exactly the value of Elon Musk's other company, Tesla, whose shares just fell to near one-year lows.”

We have to collectively call out the racism here. Dignity and Human Rights are for ALL members of the homo sapiens sapiens species, not just those with skin color Miller approves of. Anyone who supports this is supporting racist policies by design.

Like whether Mitch McConnel is alive or dead, its both!

I don't think I've ever seen a message like this. Is my Kindle broken? I hope so.

A sensible airline would choose not to serve passengers who disturb the flight for other passengers deliberately.

It constantly amazes me how truly uncaring so many are to 10s of thousands of deaths - nearly all of which have no political affiliation. Most dead Palestinian 5 year-olds do not care for Hamas, or really any other organization, nor did their dead mothers. Multiply that story by thousands.

Elon is a traitor to his species, plain and simple. There is no real thing called "race". There IS a species we call homo-sapiens sapiens. Regardless of skin color we all belong. And species traitors like Elon are collectively making it far worse for our species. He shits in our collective tub.

Jeanine Pirro should be impeached, removed, investigated, and prosecuted.

Yep - this chart from Our World In Data recently had my head spinning: bsky.app/profile/mike...

Beef has a huge climate problem. And the most effective solution -- by far -- is to simply reduce beef consumption and waste. But we don't want to hear that, so we often welcome fuzzy greenwashing stories instead. In the end, however, the math doesn't seem to work. drawdown.org/insights/gre...

Tax and Prosecute all these CEOs saying things.
