What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it.
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”
@GenFlynn Dude, I really don’t think someone who endorsed a military coup of the United States and military show trials of celebrities and politicians for “doing satanism” should be talking about who the government should be putting in jail.
Maybe shut up.
@the_El_Daoud@4HumanUnity@wapo So because she goes after Fauci, you completely dismiss the reporting that she was raised in a cult?
Those are two separate things. One does not cancel the other.
She’s a walking security risk and always has been.
@kip_dynamite_69@4HumanUnity@wapo Science of Identity Foundation is a cult. It has a thin veneer of Hinduism over top of viciously homophobic activism and brainwashing. The founder bought his title. He’s a scam artist.
@MarcosArrut Or maybe society needs to be conditioned to value intelligence, expertise and collective goals rather than “rugged individualism” at all costs and the legend of the Visionary Industrialist.
@anyexcuse4me@MAGACult2 8 year old me saw Donald Trump interviewed on tv and decided he was not a nice man and he shouldn’t be trusted. I watched his marriages implode on the nightly tabloid shows and checkout racks over the years, but I honestly tried to like him.
He messes it up for me every time.
@cherthedev I grew up with rotary phones and record players, mixed tapes and vhs movies. I kept feeling like an angry senior citizen with my unhappiness at being tracked and analyzed with everything these days, so it’s nice to know younger people are pissed off at it too.
@gafr60@TiffanyFong 1 million out of 12 is hardly “a drop in the bucket”.
She’s a published author, professor, public speaker and you think 12 million dollars means she’s corrupt?
Corruption is a trillion dollars of personal wealth. Corruption is government contracts when your dad’s the President.
@elonmusk Dude, I don’t want you to die.
I want you to go work as an entry level technician at a Tesla plant or do data entry for your stupid AI company.
Like “Undercover Boss”, but with no cameras and no way to call it off.
@drmistercody Vance is owned by Thiel.
He’s bullshitting here.
“AI surveillance is scary, so what we need to do is give control of AI surveillance to a company we can trust” is where this little rhetorical journey is going.
@Somali_Day_Care@Scaramucci Sure, because no one’s ever gotten a tattoo when they were younger that they later regret getting.
That literally never happens and people never fucking change.
@atrupar Trump:
“No no, it doesn’t matter what I said last week. Iran is ok now. Just forget what I said before. No, I don’t mean explain it, I mean forget it. It never happened. You’re a liar if you said it happened.”
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool had aging pipes, cracked concrete and filtration problems. Trump’s administration spent over $14 million but didn't fix the infrastructure. Now it’s covered in algae and they're dumping 12% hydrogen peroxide in it.
That’s the most perfect metaphor for modern Republican governance we've seen all year. Paint the surface. Ignore the problem. Try to fix the fuckup and blame somebody else.
@Somali_Day_Care@Scaramucci You don’t need a Nazi tattoo to be a Nazi.
Everything I’ve heard the guy say on policy is about as far away from authoritarianism as any politician I’ve ever seen.
So, he’s either the best sleeper agent who ever lived or he’s not a Nazi, at least not anymore.
