Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

Hey Smart Women- What is the appeal of a charismatic, handsome world leader who has been globally praised for bravery and leadership while defending his country against a hideous fascist army? It also seems he loves his beautiful wife and young children. I just don’t know what you see in him. What does he have that JD Vance and Elon Musk don’t? Signed, A Conservative Man Who Isn’t Mad. At All. Lots of Women Like Me. I’m Just Curious Not Jealous.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

You can’t be a good writer without first being a broad and experienced reader. Academic and non-fiction writing won’t do to train your instincts. Great books curriculum didn’t produce brilliant writers but it did produce coherent writers. If I could design a reading boot camp for grad students I would include: - The Gospels in New King James, which is accessible but gives you the rhythm and pace of modern English. - Bartleby the Scrivener by Melville - A few Twain humorous essays - Death in the Afternoon by Hemingway - Orwell’s essay on shooting an elephant - A Good Man is Hard to Find by O’Connor - Something by W. Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene - Good translations of some Chekov short stories - Good translations of Joseph Roth dispatches from Weimar Berlin - Strunk and White. Follow the rules until you are sure you are good enough to break them, sparingly. -

At nearly every mentorship or informational interview I have, I tell grad students and interns to learn how to write clear declarative sentences and to practice turning five pages of work into one. Without AI. -

Surely my fainting couch hyperventilation about how Obama is a the real fascist will in no way create a lumbering zombie horde of seething grievance, dead set on destroying the things I am trying to “conserve.”— Jonah Goldberg in 2012 -

A conspiracy theory I choose to believe is that most Tesla firebombing is insurance fraud from dealers or owners who can’t sell or want to ditch their cars. -
Extremely sharp response to this from the GOP committee chairs. Rightfully, but will they have the backbone in the end? I know it’s not sexy and arcane but the key things to make noise about and call Congress and get active are the (decisions made to reshape the bureaucracy. COCOM structures and military titles seem deathly dull but this is how a dictatorship locks in its choices by default. Stalin once said “the cadres decide everything!”

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance

As far as I know, no one has released the names of the people we stuffed in a Salvadoran prison. Just a nameless mass of people we are assured were illegal gang bangers. Terrifying. -

Elon casually endorsing the idea of turning the U.S. into a Central American dictatorship. 5d chess to stop migrants by making America equally as bad. Also, imagine letting adult oppositional defiant disorder “libertarianism” break your brain so badly that you feel compelled to goaltend for the richest defense contractor in the world, who is also a high-ranking government official. Very embarrassing. But many such cases. SAD! -
It’s performative in favor of the Russians. Also important: Trump announced “energy and infrastructure” ceasefire and Putin announced “energy infrastructure ceasefire.” This is because Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure hurt Putin, and he knows that Ukraine will not engage in large attacks on civilian infrastructure. Putin will attack Ukrainian civilians (and never offered not to), and honestly cares more about his refineries than the entire oblast that surrounds them. Likewise, Ukraine has no maritime military assets to attack except drones, while Russia has many. If implemented, Russia would be “graciously” agreeing to stop bombing grain ships to protect its own missile barges. The terms are all upside for Russia. We will try to browbeat Ukraine into accepting this, and will not treat missile launches into hospitals and apartments as a breach.

At the time (mid-90s) that the Ford vs. Chevy vs. Mopar guys were standing in the high school parking lot arguing, they (we) absolutely mixed our measurement units. Marketing works well on teenage boys. Ford had advertised their V8 as a “5.0” since they dropped it in the Fox Body. Chevy’s small-block for the Camaro and Corvette (and trucks) was always a “350.” Mopar was beginning to call its 360 truck engine a “5.9” but there was lots of inertia and nostalgia for the 360 small block from the muscle era— and the Mopar crate motor. -
The head of European Command or U.S. Armed Forces in Europe has been dual-hatted as Supreme Allied Commander Europe for NATO since Eisenhower. The role has been a demonstration of reality (U.S. force will be the deciding factor in any conflict) and commitment to Europe’s defense. It’s not a rule SACEUR has to be American. Just how it’s done, and the civilian leadership of NATO (SecGen) is traditionally European as a demonstration that the Alliance is not an American construct or directed organization. The proposal aims to combine European Command with African Command and tell NATO we don’t want their job anymore. It’s basically part of the Trump effort to walk away from NATO in every way they counts and signal to Russia that we don’t care about the defense of Europe anymore.

The astronaut came up— big guy, tall with huge muscles. And he had tears in his eyes and he said “sir, thank you so much for rescuing us. Joe Biden could never.” And I said you better thank Elon too and he said “and Elon is the best, I’m never going to drive anything but a Tesla. He’s found so much corruption and is doing a great job.” Then I asked him, what if you’re in the space station and it’s depressurizing and it’s going to suck you into the black void. But inside the rescue capsule 10 feet away there’s a shark. Would you choose the freezing void or the shark? And I said “gimme the freezing void! I’m not taking the shark in the rescue capsule. Give me the freezing black void.” And the astronaut said it’s a good question. No one ever asked it before. -

The astronauts were never stranded and flew home on a capsule that has been attached to the space station all along. And we paid for all of it. -

The U.S. got rolled today. Putin refused the ceasefire offer, countered with something else that Putin will not implement, and pitched a bunch of bullshit to pump up Trump’s ego like hockey games. The goal is to get the United States to pressure Ukraine into something unacceptable and then drive a wedge between the U.S. and Europe. Russia is doing its own reverse Nixon on us and everyone around our president is either too stupid or venal to notice or care. Also, the NSC is understaffed and lacking any actual real-world Russia expertise and none of the people they could hire will pass Trump’s political litmus tests. Lots of self-inflicted harm here.
