This wasn’t from a place of knowledge. I made a social read. Musk is absolutely the type to call a trilby a fedora and feel smug about it; I extrapolated from that.

Honestly, knowing Musk’s MO of huffing his own farts, I’d have thought he’d be into the stillsuits of it all

My read: sounds like a teenager that knows the touted functionality of the scam tech they are referencing, but is not wise enough to the ways of the world to know they are scams.

Man, any good media manipulator knows you don’t go for the newsrooms first. You start with the shitty ad-infested pages that just post procedurally generated slop anyway, then you let that shit fester up the chain until it hits the front page of the NYT.

This is both old news and kinda… not that surprising when you think about it, but I searched and didn’t see any commentary on this here.

Meta has hired a former Project 2025 staffer and Ron DeSantis chief of staff as its director of public policy in the South.

It’s something of a tradition to occasionally frankenstein together a backronym for bills/acts. Feel free to search “worst US backronyms” or similar for more!

(psst. hey buddy. all eugenics is genocidal. It’s in the fucking name. Also. racism and fascism have historically been sanitised and presented as scientific or commercial endeavours. They’re the cornerstones of capitalism. Think of how the weapons industry is printing money because of israel’s decades long genocide against the palestinians.)
