@davidgobaud @paulg And you think President Lequembi isn't senile.
The man will be wearing military uniforms with fake medals next. That's what dictators do when they go gaga.

The rational fear of those who dislike economic inequality is that the rich will convert their economic power into political power: that they'll tilt elections, or pay bribes for pardons, or buy up the news media to promote their views.
English
@davidgobaud @paulg And seems that you do indeed love the taste of fascist boot.
I don't see the appeal in grovelling to a dictator myself. But that is what MAGA is, none of you have any self respect, you will repeat any lie he tells you and believe it.
English
@davidgobaud @paulg If you watch the whole speech it is clear that what Trump wanted was violence.
The Kray Twins, a pair of UK gansters used to use very similar language when demanding money with menaces. 'Things break, don't they, wouldn't want that to happen'.
He is an evil thug.
English
@paulg The problem is that those of us paying attention realized this quite some time ago and you have been less than pleasant to those of us pointing it out.
English
It's still rare for tech billionaires to do this. Most do just want to refine their gadgets. That habit is what made them billionaires. But unfortunately I can no longer say that they all do.
English
@davidgobaud @paulg Funny how you think the remedy for that is a guy who is using the powers of the presidency to silence all opposition to himself, trumped up prosecutions, demanding bribes from ABC, NBC, etc. etc. for allowing journalists to tell the truth about him.
Does the boot taste good?
English
@paulg They wish they could ignore politics and focus on their gadgets. Elon said so explicitly. Unfortunately Democrats got control and were destroying the country eroding basic freedoms and enacting unbearable regulations - debanking, censorship, etc.

🚨ELON MUSK ON WHY HE GOT INTO POLITICS: "I was living in California and everyone around me was a Democrat and I really just wanted to build technology: cars, rockets, space, internet, and do useful things. I didn't want to be involved in politics, I don't want to be the President, I want to build products people love. I came to a conclusion that we are at a fork in the road of Western Civilization and destiny of humanity, because the constitution is being eroded away with consistent attacks, and the oppressive nature of the Federal government getting worse every year, open borders, etc. I was hearing one story after another of friends of mine that were being assaulted and robbed. I think our republic is at risk. America is at stake."

@supersqurrl She's going to be so surprised when the Amazon guy shows up.

This is a mistake. Pickaxe is the wrong tool for the job. What she needs is a Festool Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool Vecturo OSC 18.
Kerry Kennedy@KerryKennedyRFK
Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

@X1912AmericanX @jaynordlinger @grok You have to pretend you can't see your country disintegrating or you will be sent off to Pokrovsk to become more Cargo 200.
We have no need of alliances with countries like Russia who send men on crutches into battle and use their drones mostly to murder their own deserters.

In Soviet days, there were many Americans and other Westerners who were tools of the Kremlin. I would be surprised if any of them belonged to the Republican Party. And now ...

Kirill Dmitriev hands (R.-Fla., naturally) Rep. Ana Paulina Luna a book titled, "Great Words of a Great Man." You can see the great man referred to right there on the cover. She is very excited.
English
@X1912AmericanX @jaynordlinger @grok And just think how much cheaper it will be to buy it from the fragments of the ex-Russian Federation.
Win for Ukraine means no more Putin and no more Putin means no more Russian Federation.
Russia is weak, a pathetic laughing stock with toy tanks made of tinfoil.

@hallam @jaynordlinger @grok what is the highest valued untapped minerals that Russia has? Provide dollar amount to each. Top 5.
English
@JDCocchiarella Here is the thing, I don't think AOC has quite the mojo to beat Newsome for the Presidential Nomination.
But if she runs for the NY Senate seat, she can almost certainly retire Schumer. I think he would call it a day rather than lose the primary to her.
English
@X1912AmericanX @jaynordlinger And the Russian bot enters the chat.
What exactly are we supposed to be trading with Putin's failed state? All they have is oil and gas which we don't need.
Every Russian tank, every plane, every soldier 'retired' by Ukrain is a tank, plane or soldier will never fight us.
English
@jaynordlinger Get over it, Boomer.
We are done with the "Russian ID the boogeyman" story from the 50's.
Geographically and logistically, trade with Russia is intelligent.
English
@jaynordlinger You are only thinking about the Ideology band of MICE.
There are two Republicans whose careers since the 1980s shriek of having been recruited through a combination of Coercion, Money and Ego.
I am certain both have been active placing other agents into the US establishment.

@full_blown_book @paulg @tyler__palmer Every platform has bots, the difference is that most places try to reduce their impact, Hitler salute boy prioritized them.
English
@paulg @tyler__palmer It's bots, they exist to sow division.
Some people are nasty, sure, but it's the bots that give them permission to get in the soup.
Bots can get anything trending/to the top on any platform.
English
There is something deeply wrong with Twitter. It has always been rough here, but in the past year it has become an even worse kind of nasty. Do you think maybe it's time to try to turn things around, Elon?
Adnan Hussain MP@AdnanHussainMP
Yesterday I became a father. I shared a photo of my newborn daughter, and many of you sent beautiful messages. Thank you. But I’ve had to delete it. The vile racism and hate directed at an innocent soul less than a day old was beyond depraved.
English
@dshuter @paulg @tyler__palmer Blue Sky did just that and is a much nicer place to engage.
Unless of course you are a salute truther or want to puke MAGA crap. Then you quickly find yourself blocked because they don't want to hear from you.
English
@paulg @tyler__palmer The bot problem is constant on all platforms. How do you filter them out from a well typed reasonable argument? Build a twitter competitor. That’s American capitalism. 😉
But seriously thanks Paul for the essays and hackernews. I couldn’t have done it without them.
English
@Jason @paulg @tyler__palmer A 'free speech platform' where you are totally free to agree with Elon Musk.
English
@paulg @tyler__palmer If you become the freedom of speech platform it’s gonna be full contact
That’s why I made most of my posts $1 to charity to reply
It changes my entire experience
English
@paulg @tyler__palmer You don't think skewing the discussion to give the loudest voices to neo-NAZIs, giving priority to paid posters and the owner prancing about making Hitler salutes had anything to do with it?
That is totally why this has become The Bad Place.
English
@tyler__palmer I'm not sure. Maybe bots, maybe followers of a few really nasty people, maybe a lot of individual nut jobs. But I suspect someone looking at the internal data could see what was going on.
English
@paulg I have no idea why anyone stays here. Before Elon, I used to check Twitter many times a day, now I visit once or twice a month if that.
I have no time for arguments in venues that have been intentionally skewed towards people with the same vile hatreds as Space NAZI.
English
I want to know if Lachlan Murdoch agrees with Brian Kilmeade, his employee who advocates murdering people for being homeless.
People should ask him that question to his face in public until he sacks him.

REMINDER: University of Pennsylvania professor Michael Mann helped mainstream the vile smear that Charlie Kirk was the “head of Trump’s Hitler Youth.”
How are expressions that condone or endorse violence compatible with the policies and values at Penn?
matt@mattxiv
in america if you don’t mourn the 21st century hitler youth program director you get fired from your job
English
@rh91kem @SteveGuest Oh and another neo-NAZI reply.
You folk always want to kill people. Thats how Charlie Kirk got shot.
English
@SteveGuest It is too bad what they say is not true. If it were these would be the first few lined up against the wall….

BREAKING: MSNBC's Ali Velshi calls Michael Mann a good friend and says he has "relied" on Mann in "some of the most important moments in our history."
In the wake of Charlie Kirk being assassinated, Mann reposted comments calling Charlie Kirk the "head of Trump’s Hitler Youth."
Mann also wrote: "The white on white violence has gotten out of hand."
REMINDER: Mann is a court-sanctioned liar, sanctioned for "knowingly feeding the jury false data" in a manner of misconduct that was "extraordinary in its scope, extent, and intent."
Mann also previously called for people to take up arms and form a militia against Trump.
@VelshiMSNBC @AliVelshi DID NOT ask Mann about his deranged comments or that fact Mann has said that the Republican Party should be "destroyed" or that individuals like Peter Thiel and Rupert Murdoch, Charles Koch should viewed like Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda 9/11 attackers.
