Democrats love to trot out mummies like Clyburn because it allows them to cloak themselves in the moral authority of the civil rights movement on behalf of Israel and insurance companies, but another huge benefit is that they can turn the racism dial all the way up

For no particular reason, here's Elon Musk confidently predicting fully self-driving Teslas by "next year' for 10 years straight:

Once again, I repeat myself! Liberals are really in denial about this and how far it’s gonna go: If Abdul and/or Hong wins centrist leaders might back their Republicans opponents! If AOC or another leftist is our nominee in 2028 they will likely try to sabotage their candidacy.

@filmlovinglucy @talkingben04 The last line of the film over the shot of the burning Trojan Horse, his atom bomb: “A new dawn will break over the darkened world, when our mistakes will once again be forgotten"

Doom doesn't feel inevitable like Oppenheimer but at best I feel it is ambiguous about the future

So on one side we have a Ph.D. MD who left a cushy job at Columbia to rebuild Detroit's public heath system & erase medical debt for people struggling, who wants Medicare for All & to get corporations out of politics, who is endorsed by:
Warren
AOC
Sanders
Van Hollen
Khanna
Tlaib
Jayapal
Frost
Lee
Etc

And then on the other side, you have somebody who is funded by special interest groups who only want her to win so they can keep killing children thousands of miles away, and she's endorsed by:

By a 55-33 margin, Michiganders are not open to data centers being built within 25 miles of their home (per Glengariff poll from May). That number surpasses 60% for Michigan Democrats.

At the ribbon cutting of a data center Saline Township just last month, Whitmer was caught on a hot mic telling Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk “We're used to people saying 'fuck no,' and then doing it anyway.” She very openly longer cares about what Michiganders want.

I am glad that you suddenly care about labor unions, but a couple of unions wanting to get another construction job should not outweigh the desires of the majority of your constituents.

As a popularist, I would have thought you would be in favor of a policy that is supported by a majority of Democrats and Republicans, non-college and college grads, white and Black voters, and in every region of the state.

That’s her whole project.

These clips of Elon really give you insight into one of the reasons why DOGE was such a spectacular failure: Huge arrogance, complete rejection of anything that challenges his perspective or priors, and total belief in his own expertise despite being obviously wrong about stuff.

@jbillinson It might be because its your second viewing.

I've seen it in 1570 twice and my second viewing was significantly better than the first, it shot up from high-mid tier Nolan to my #3 behind The Prestige and Oppenheimer (sorry Memento)

Actually I think this photo of Gretchen Whitmer is one of the single most powerful symbolic depictions of the contemporary Democratic Party leadership.
"decking yourself out in blue as if you're different but cooperating with Trump while pretending not to" says it all

[onion person @CantEverDie]

the michigan establishhment under gretchen whitmer needs to be demolished

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

Gretchen Whitmer is more interested appeasing people who can set up her up with a cushy private sector job after her term is up at the end of the year than she is in actually looking out for the interests of Michiganders.

That’s why she’s embracing the construction of data centers — against Michiganders’ wishes — and why she vetoed 9 bills that would have lowered costs for Michigan families just two weeks ago. Don’t take my word for it, ask Mallory McMorrow (see below).

Birds of a feather stick together. It is no surprise that Whitmer is backing the only candidate in this race who is accepting corporate PAC money from any company that will offer it — from BlackRock, to Goldman Sachs, to DTE, and dozens more. Just like Whitmer, Stevens would return the favor to her corporate donors if she gets to the U.S. Senate.

[Ruwa Romman @ruwaromman]

Tragic ending to what would’ve been an amazing legacy for Big Gretch. She reversed harmful policies and did so much with a split government.

Now, she’s ending it with this photo, supporting data centers, vetoing bills her own party fought for, and this.

[Pod Save America @PodSaveAmerica]

Share this so Elon can't pretend children didn't die when he destroyed USAID.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

Notice that when she points to the obvious fact that cutting medical care to millions of people will cause some people to die he immediately crashes out and says everyone is lying because he knows it’s true.

@vashikoo He also avoids fades and dissolves in most of his movies. Exceptions like AI Artificial Intelligence (end of act 1) and The Fabelmans (parents divorce) stick out

[outonparole @outonparole]

@JoyceCarolOates Assistant directors don’t direct. 1st ADs manage and coordinate the set while 2nd ADs manage talent and extras. I believe that the second unit directors mostly did the aerial photography.

It follows that the AD crew was so large because there were crews in 6 countries

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

This is one of the sickest things I have ever seen.

“What about NGOs? What about Bill Gates?” is all he has to justify his deliberate murder of MILLIONS of people he hates with his whole being.

This isn’t challenging him at all. He’s getting away with having a racist tantrum.
