losing just 20% is probably a best case scenario for musk IMO.

was that the command that deleted (almost permanently) Toystory 2?

I still can’t believe he nuked the Twitter brand. It was like the most valuable part of the platform. X is such a dumb, generic nothing name.

The headline is factually incorrect and I suspect intentionally inflammatory.

A White House official has allegedly said this, and that official is an economist working on economic policies rather than military or intelligence.

It’s still scary and suggesting anything this extreme around Trump is a horrible idea because he is so impulsive.

But, we need to be careful not to misconstrue or misrepresent things as doing so could give ammo to the Trump administration

LMAO first time seeing this. Perfect.

Well this is certainly an interesting development. Assuming Trump didn’t give the green light (and I doubt he did, but who knows), Adams may be digging himself into a deep, deep hole. Happy to loan him a shovel btw. Keep working it.

Great point, and H5N1 can kill cats within like 24 hours (not sure if that’s exposure or first symptoms). So, you’re not paying close attention to your cat for even just a matter of hours, it dies, you don’t know why, and just bury it.

Raw catfood has infected some cats as well.

Well, ya know, it’s primarily a respiratory disease among humans. You literally aren’t likely to catch if if your head is buried in sand. And once you suffocate or whatever, you won’t have to worry about the flu.

Meanwhile, in Michigan, there’s a case of two exclusively indoor cats catching it. One prominent theory is that the humans in the household passed it to them.

I never really looked into the guy tbh. Pretty sure I saw the wife release some statement about how shocked and sad she was and that was as deep as I got.

Didn’t realize he was estranged with his family. Not surprised to hear that tho because yeah a lot of these guys psychos/sociopaths

Screw it, I’m down for Luigi Mangione 2028.

Actually I doubt even the rich would take a shot at him. It’d make him a martyr.

If someone did take a shot, it’d probably be a fame seeker or someone with personal connections to the CEO.

Despise? Disgusted by? Hmmm…

“Don’t tread on me, unless you’re a cop. If so, I will gladly lick the soles of your feet.”

The fact that we are entering a time when a coup in the USA is a legitimate threat is so utterly terrifying.

From at least Reagan to now diehard conservatives have laid the foundation for all of this over the course of decades and Mitch McConnell and many of the other conservatives now in dismay at this shift absolutely played a crucial role in making it all possible.

I’ve always wondered what people in Germany felt in the 1930s. Well, now I know. I’m not saying Trump/Republicans are literal nazis and authoritarianism is inevitable but the utter chaos unfolding is reminiscent.

not sure if you deserve the downvotes lol. Whatcha mean?

Top “generals,” plural I believe.

edit 1: just remembered different services use different ranks, the other confirmed fire was an admiral.

edit 2: Another general was indeed fired: Gen. James Slife

And they’re likely getting replaced with diehard loyalists. The Joint Chiefs is already going to a MAGA if I heard correctly.

Quoting Lenin: “There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.”

And it’s starting to feel like there are days when centuries happen.

If Trump genuinely, fully wants to drive the United States into authoritarianism, forcefully installing diehard loyalists in the military is one of the most crucial early steps.

I rarely lean into conspiracy theories and we’re living in insanely complex times but this move has me genuinely worried. Hopefully, my fears turn out to be a figment of imagination.

I’m sure that several prominent politicians have been putting together teams to run campaigns but the GOP candidates probably mostly wanted to avoid any official announcements or major actions until Mitch made it official. Now the gate is open and the race is on.
