I was promised flying cars by 2025. Instead the internet keeps asking me to identify crosswalks so it can decide whether I deserve access to my own email.

Spotted a Tesla sticker: “Here for zero emissions, not Elon.”

Adorable. You bought the product of a man who employs over 150,000 people, built from a half a million pounds of earth mined and processed for a single battery, then charged on a coal fired electric grid. But sure, slap on a sticker probably made in a Chinese factory and stick it to the genius who made the thing that lets you feel smug at red lights.

For many, Pride symbols have become a de facto religion, aggressively promoted by governments and corporations at every level.

Corporate Pride is pure marketing nonsense pushed to sell ads while promoting a lifestyle that undermines healthy family life. This is just one more way progressive politics erodes the foundations of stable families and society at large. The “marginalized group” line is nonsense too. Governments have given sexual orientation strong legal protections in the workplace and elsewhere for decades.

Opposing the homosexual lifestyle does not make gay people worthless in anyone's eyes, nor does it make those who disagree hateful. The real problem is the backwards claim that simply disagreeing with it causes harm. Normal differences of opinion are not aggression. Healthy societies allow people to hold and express opposing views without demanding total submission or labeling dissent as bigotry. Enforced approval is what actually poisons public discourse.

This captures the reality precisely. For decades the left has actively promoted the very policies that produced this steady decline. Bring forward any concrete example of our decline in the public square and it is promptly waved away or buried beneath charges of racism and sexism. Accountability is nowhere to be found.

A grim testament to where such visions ultimately lead.

Hey @SenWarren - take your wealth tax and shove it.

[Shruti @heyshrutimishra]

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

@anand_singh0 @VigilantFox The people you are describing who may have pushed back against the fascist left have left the room.

David got a hole in his leg and the progressive liberal crowd’s first concern was rescuing the dogs. @GadSaad calls this “suicidal empathy,” a hierarchy-based empathy system where your sympathy is allocated by victim status rather than actual harm. The compassion is intellectually disordered because it has no grounding in reality. Portland keeps getting more “compassionate” and less livable for exactly this reason.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

David Sedaris tells Bill Maher a drug addict’s dog bit a hole in his leg while he was walking in Portland.

He wrote an essay, thinking the story would spark outrage.

But he got a rude awakening when liberals blamed him and defended the addict.

He couldn’t figure it out until Maher bluntly told him why:

SEDARIS: “Nobody said how awful that you got bitten by a dog. They said, ‘What kind of a dog was it?’”

[Maher laughs]

SEDARIS: “One person said, ‘Did you get the names?’ And I said, ‘Oh, they’re fentanyl addicts… weren’t going to give me their names.’ ‘No, of the dogs, it would help to rescue them.’”

“But if I had said, if I had said I was walking down the street and these tech bros… they’d be incensed.”

“But because they were drug addicts, then everybody took their side. They felt like they couldn’t say that it was, they treated me like it was my fault. Or you just, ‘well, that’s the way it goes. You’re better off than they are.’”

MAHER: “You get to, I think, what is just the heart of so much of our f*cked up politics.”

“You say, ‘why is it so hard for people like me to say that it’s wrong for a drug addict’s dog to bite you?’”

“And your answer is because then, oh, then you’re a Republican. Which is crazy because then it puts the Democrats in the position of the pro-drug addict dog biters.”

@seconds_0 @WomanCorn Cheers!

[Alexander @FaiththruFire]

@WomanCorn Fair point. "Competent but hollow" is actually an upgrade from "confidently vague." Tolkien refused for artistic reasons. AI would just not notice the difference.

[Alexander @FaiththruFire]

@SenWarren The subtle implication here is that government can spend money better than Elon Musk can. If you believe that, you’re a blithering moron.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.

We need a wealth tax.
