Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

I'm having a brain fart--I'm having studens read Rupert Till's article on Prince and religion and I'll show some of his videos. Also going to show Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' to discuss pop music and religious themes. I'm trying to think of other good videos to show...suggestions? (don't say Hozier)

People are fighting ICE in the streets, trying to counter their patrolling and kidnappings.
People are turning "Free Little Libraries" into mini food pantries.
People are raising money for strangers in need.
Standing by voters and not caving to GOP is the LEAST our senators can do.

I've never been a fan of third-party movement, but maybe it's time. AOC, Bernie, Walz, Crockett, Warren, and anyone else relentlessly battling. Let's have a party of politicians who ACTUALLY want to serve the greater good.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
What does OpenAI offer the world?

Seriously, if you have a Sikh gurdwara in your area please let people know about this. We have at least one here in Detroit Metro that I know of. Bonus is that Sikhs are, on the whole, extremely rad people.
Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.
No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

Nothing in the entire newscape makes me as angry and nauseated as learning EM is poised to make $1trillion per year.
Reminder: million seconds = 11.5 days, billion secs = 31.7 years, a trillion secs = 31,700 years.
Even at $500b, he could spend $13m per day for 100y and still have money left.
