I’ve hated elon musk since 2010 and now all these johnny-come-latelies are crowding my scene.

I bet they can’t even name his first 3 pro-nazi takes.

You mean to tell me that the dude who amassed billions by making less money than just investing in the S&P 500 isn’t good at picking winners? That’s wild.

He's trying to slowly pivot towards "abundance" or "let's burn as much fuel as possible and pray some future ai god will solve this for us," and is not so happy when people call him out.

"Solving" malaria is not what is causing climate change. It's the data centers, recklessness, and consumerism.

But i mean that ezra klein is a pr outlet, not a journalist. He is marketwire come to life. He targets keywords and narratives that are fed to him and then works to drive traffic.

The only “discourse” ezra klein represents is the kind that will line his pockets and further his career.

Marc andreesen, ben horowitz, and elon musk told him what his position is supposed to be. That’s how ezra klein operates. He’s not a blogger, he’s a blog for rich people to post upon.

Dick cheney and george bush walked so that trump could run. Their legacy:

Creation of ICE/DHS (US gestapo), Patriot Act (surveillance state), mortgage meltdown (great recession), john roberts, sam alito, INVASION OF AFGHANISTAN, INVASION OF IRAQ ON FAKE CHARGES, Abu Ghraib, torture…

and… 9/11.

We sell weapons to UAE (ie Dubai) to send to Sudan so they can murder innocent people. We send billions in aid and weapons to Israel so they can murder innocent people. Meanwhile, we stopped funding food aid (SNAP) for ppl here in the states.

WTF are we going, folks? Our government sucks ass.

That keyboard is definitely something (m next to the l)... good catch.

We're all just sitting at the bar playing photo hunt now. Except there are no drinks and everyone is miserable.

The options in this race are so very dismal. It's two Silicon Valley abundobros who want to hand San Francisco over to Blackstone, Blackrock, and luxury condo developers (Weiner and Chakrabarti) OR Nancy Pelosi's daughter. Depressing.

I'm trying to get my barista to run. She's got better ideas.

When is "rape" not rape? When it is committed by the IDF. Then it's called "abuse."

When is "apartheid" not apartheid? When it is committed by the IDF. Then it's called "democracy."

When is "genocide" not genocide? When it is committed by the IDF. Then it's called "self defense."

Israel top military lawyer arrested after she admitted leaking video of soldiers’ abuse

Rightwing politicians and pundits have called the soldiers accused of attack on Palestinian detainee ‘heroes’ and military investigators traitors Police in Israel have arrested and detained the military’s top legal officer after she admitted leaking footage of soldiers allegedly attacking a Palestinian detainee and then in effect lying about her actions to Israel’s high court. The military advocate general, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, said in a resignation letter last week that she had authorised publication of the video to defuse attacks on military investigators and prosecutors working on the case.

Checks out. He's an aye rand worshipper so he's got the reasoning skills of a 13 yr old boy.

The entire premise of yimbyism is flawed. Yimby is trickle down housing backed by the heritage foundation and developers. Its goal is to destroy regulations and increase profits.

Rent control works. All it says is that you can't increase rent on a CURRENT tenant more than x% per year.

The standard view of housing markets holds that the flexibility of local housing supply—shaped by factors like geography and regulation—strongly affects the response of house prices, house quantities ...

I really hope this dude is at least being paid by the heritage foundation. If idiots this useful exist, all hope is lost.

No, we need to let the free market handle this. With ai-quantum-micro-nuclear-crypto abundance, this woman would already be dead or living far away from Atlanta, so this wouldn’t be a problem.

Or, you leave it to karma and watch the next batter nail the pitcher in the shin with a base hit.

Carpeted bathroom? Curtains for the sinks? These are just places for pee to hide. Terrible.

That’s funny cuz the entire government apparatus of Israel was used to help get trump elected, so it’s a little disingenuous to pretend he’s somehow not what they wanted.

I mean, they timed bombings to make sure harris looked as dumb/weak as possible.

Has Benjamin Netanyahu timed his response to Iran to impact US elections? | The Jerusalem Post

Netanyahu's delayed response to Iran and Hezbollah attacks may be timed to influence the US election, with potential political motives behind the timing of Israel's military actions.
