Elon Musk dressing like a Bond villain is ...
God he is just the worst.
Claiming that his tendency to,say, accuse a person rescuing trapped kids of being a pedophile on neurodiversity is quite something.
Anyway when we look back and wonder why we let a guy who’s built his fortune off government subsidies while decrying government colonize space for handful of rich white dudes and their much younger partners, look up this SNL

The principal that we all thought was creepy to us 7th-8th grade girls is in jail now.

Trust your instincts.
here's that principal. it wasn't until a former student ran into him teaching at her own daughter's (different) school that he was finally investigated and prosecuted: washingtonpost.com/local/crime/fo…
and, when he finally was convicted, Ken Starr, Charlie Gibson, Nat Geo CEO/EIC Gilbert M. Grosvenor, and other luminaries pleaded for clemency. KNOWING HE MAY HAVE MOLESTED IF NOT THEIR OWN KIDS THEN THEIR FRIENDS.

Personally, I think we should move beyond the point where the First Spouse (if there is one) is "in charge" of decorating the White House or designing the Rose Garden, unless they're into it.
Like we don't expect the First Lady/Gentleman to cook for every state dinner. They hire an executive chef (who yeah, seeks input/sign off but...) for that.
I have zero love or respect for Melania, but I think the Rose Garden had some real drainage issues that had to be attended to.

And if we're going to do before/after photo outrage, those photos should be at the exact same time of year.

 *feeling some substack et al heat. And by heat, they want to keep all revenue on their platform

1/ Absolute must-read from @H_Lev on how Robinhood. The proximate tragedy is the suicide of one young investor who thought he'd have to repay gobs of money. But the real story is how dangerous the "gamification" interface is on a much broader scale: motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
2/ You've likely read a lot about Robinhood and Gamestop, but do you understand how Robinhood’s revenue model depends on its traders making frequent, uninformed trades? tl;dr: Most customers lose money while Robinhood and ****its Wall Street partners**** clean up.
3/ You might think Robinhood makes money by getting tiny fee or fraction of your trade. Nope. It makes money from finder’s fee from Wall Street firms and flash traders who make money *executing* those trades.

My timeline full of men across the ideological spectrum who are now upset that people are still wearing masks outside.

Why...do you care so much?
I swear if you think of asking men to wear a mask as asking them to wear a condom, all the rage and disdain makes sense.
Some people still wear masks because they are afraid and maybe for good reason, you don’t know! And some for social signaling and some out of some kind of fear of mild rebuke and jfc, this is not our biggest problem.
