But it’s true. The elite ruling class in our society is based on power, way more than money. Our oligarchic elite ruling class freaks out about Elon precisely to the degree they think he’s not onboard with their program.

I can't talk fast enough to get all of my thoughts out. And I can talk pretty fast.
Like, I have footnotes when I talk to people. I have parenthetical asides. I have asterisks.
I do a verbal pop-up text box that provides context to whatever obscure thing I may reference
@Variety
People are exposed to a wide range of opinions.
Most of those opinions suck and when they're called out for sucking, the people who voiced them start whining about being "cancelled"

Andrew Carnegie died in 1919.
16th amendment passed in 1913. 3 years at 7%, one at 15, 67, 77, 73 in his lifetime.
The top tax rate didn't reach 80% until 1940. Most of his life, his tax rate was between 0 (most years) and 10%.

I'll never forget when my junior year English teacher, right before we left for lunch, told the entire class that his sister (who had been a teacher at the HS years ago) was murdered by a student 10 or 15 years earlier.

I work in a preschool & after the first month or so, just about all of the 150 or so kids at the school, even the toddlers, will wear their masks w/ virtually no fuss. Even some of the youngest ones will adjust them over their noses when they dip down w/o promoting.
@PissJugTycoon
It's such an insidious shitty phrase.
Anyone that starts an entry level job is unskilled.
Someone who had been, say, a cleaning person or even a grocery store bagger for 5 years especially at the same job is not "unskilled"

@RealOmarNavarro
Cruella was his role model or something?
Says a lot about him that he'd glom onto the villain of the story.
Not casting aspersions about a conservative pining for the female villain. Surely there's nothing to read into that.

Applebaum: "So there's this thing.."
Rogan: "Yeah.."
A: "They call it... I think they call it... 'empathy'?"
R: "Oh yeah I heard about that. The woke people like it."
A: " Yeah."
R: "That's wild. "

You don't seem to understand the terror of the Nazis if you're using them to comment on wearing masks to reduce the risk of transmission of an airborne virus

I wouldn't say this makes me laugh the hardest, it's more of a knowing and appreciative chuckle at this point, but this is one I have always enjoyed
This is one of the all-time funniest things I have ever seen and probably will ever see in my lifetime.
It has resonated with me for almost two decades now.

I'm very heartened to see some people are, like me, poo-pooing this NFT bullshit.
NFT, crypto, it's all bullshit. The energy used to produce it outweighs any utility it has.

They kept imploring me to talk. To give them some intel.
I raised my head slightly, my face was bloodied and swollen, and I spit out blood and a few teeth before shakily whispering, "gender inequality much?"
@OurTallahassee
This guy must have missed the "don't leave a paper trail" day of the "How to do extremely racist things and get away with it" seminar.
Of course, now none of that matters with the "if it feels good, do it" conservative ideology/legal movement

Everybody remember how they were praising Kim for bribing/convincing Trump to pardon exactly one person who wasn't rich or associated with him in any way or wasn't a complete scumbag?
