In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss the absolute state of X in January 2025. Since its acquisition by Elon Musk, this platform has rapidly transformed into his personal political tool and a breeding ground for hate speech and disinformation.

Whenever election results come out post-Obama, I realize how much of an electoral juggernaut he was. Barack would pack these boys up by 10:30 PM EST at the latest. #Election2024
@bannedyoangel One thing I've seen this whole election cycle is that there's a whole lot of "I'll excuse racism, but I draw the line at ______" you know ppl let a whole lot of stuff slide until it hits them
When Obama was elected, I felt a sense that America was finally coming together. Yet, that seemed to bring out the worst in some people. Many of the firefighters I'd worked with in Detroit for 34 years were making very disparaging remarks (surprisingly).
Then comes Trump, and it seemed to bring out the unabashed racist. The one good thing about Trump coming to power was the fact that the closet racists came out and revealed themselves.
Dikembe Mutombo was an incredible basketball player – one of the best shot blockers and defensive players of all time. But he also inspired a generation of young people across Africa, and his work as the NBA’s first global ambassador changed the way athletes think about their impact off the court. Michelle and I are thinking of Dikembe’s family and everyone who knew and loved him.
