No one is betting on her failing because she got the job by repeating what billionaires want her to say. That isn’t succeeding against all odds that’s been the playbook for a forgotten many throughout history.

Real success against all odds is success in spite of the money being against you

Yeah, I learned that thing which I will now forever be able to unlearn. 😬

An AK action is very close to an inverted M1 carbine action.

I haven’t done much nerd deep diving on the actual roots, but Ian probably has.

I sit down in my BlueSky captain's chair and furrow my brow authoritatively.

"Damage report, Mister Scott."

"Ma'am, the Nazi gumbo meme has breached containment and..."

"I've heard enough. Load the torpedoes, set phasers to kill, and burn the planet. No survivors."

"Aye, captain."

I’m gonna be mad at you for a week for making me type “nazi gumbo” into the search box. 😅

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Jesus Christ, you can’t swing a keyboard around here without knocking a brave heterodox contrarian truth-teller out cold.

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Oh, it’ll be seven digits when all the chickens finally come home to roost.

Eh. In the industry in which I work, a lot of people I grew up reading… and fangirling …in my twenties are in my phone contact list now and I don’t think less of them.

People are people, warts and all.

My teen car sub was R&T. I didn’t defect to C/D until probably my senior year in high school.

Pretty bold take for a dude who actually has a five-digit body count on his hands at this point.

quite a take from someone who called COVID restrictions "fascism" and "a violation of constitutional rights," and argued that SEC penalties for announcing a fake leveraged buyout of Tesla trampled on his first amendment free speech protections
