You can’t make this up.

Since 2008, $15B taxpayer dollars have been invested in California High Speed Rail. There is no working track and zero passengers so far.

In the same time frame $12B in private funds were invested in SpaceX pre IPO.

SpaceX has 10,000 Starlink satellites serving 10 million customers and has taken 74 passengers into orbit.

Politicians tell you they’ll do better with Elon’s money than he does. California shows the truth.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Zero women or children. Only military-aged men.

That’s because they’re not refugees. They are soldiers, and this is a religious war of conquest.

Europe needs to wake up.

[Kit Roupe @KitRoupe]

Yes. You're a Private Institution, which means no public funds (aka taxpayer money).

Me:
One cannot charitably credit them with trying to restore academic freedom in universities. The extreme assault by the Trump administration on parts of Harvard had nothing to do with the suppression of speech, such as in the science and engineering departments. The agenda is really to cripple civil society organizations that might be centers of opposition, in the same way they had gone after the media, after law firms, and after other branches of government.

Kmele Foster (@kmele) of @wethefifth:
If I was going to try to sort of steelman the position of people on the right, they would say: you already lost a lot of those institutions in the sciences proper. You mentioned Nature earlier and the fact that they weren’t unwilling to publish certain things that were inconvenient to them with respect to their political convictions. Does that not justify the Trump administration kind of taking a much harder line?

Me:
Well, no. Among the legitimate functions of government stipulated in the Constitution, policing scientific journals is not one of them. But in any case, it wasn’t as if they singled out research projects at Harvard that flouted standards of scientific excellence by prioritizing political correctness over truth. It was an across-the-board zeroing of funding.

Muslim woman travels to South Korea and is very angry that Korean food has ‘too much pork’:

“Koreans put pork in everything: mayo, ketchup, chips. I had to inspect everything before eating.

South Korea claims to be an ultra-modern country, but refuses to respect 2 billion Muslims!”

There’s an easy solution to her problem: don’t go there!

BREAKING NEWS: Australia's public broadcaster ABC News just accused @elonmusk of ''inciting racial tension'' in Belfast because he did not censor footage showing a Sudanese refugee attempting to behead someone.

They're angrier at Elon than at the stabber.
