  • Changing CEOs to right the ship is what real companies do, and it can be effective. Tesla is a meme stock. It’s a hype machine designed to overpromise and underdeliver. Tesla is made of smoke and mirrors built around once-promising tech that was subverted for the interests of the VC parasite class.

    Even if the board actually makes a move on Musk, they’re going to replace him with another money guy who cuts actual tech to pump up sales and marketing and drives more investing dollars into the black hole.

    Granted, the next guy would almost certainly be better for the company than musk, given his mountain of bad press. But if Tesla actually wanted to make a real move, appoint an actual Tesla to run the company instead of another Edison.

  • Davies was contacted by seven men over seven days who had all been scammed or catfished by seven different fake accounts that were using her images. She wrote an Instagram post to warn others and a BBC journalist got in touch, leading to her first documentary When Nudes Are Stolen. This was life-changing. “It was the first time that I had sat down with campaigners and experts who laid all those images out and said that what happened to me wasn’t OK,” she says. “No one had ever said that before. No one had ever said: ‘It wasn’t your fault.’ It was such a moment for me. It lifted the weight off my shoulders.”

    Good Lord, that’s depressing. When people take advantage of you, it’s not your fault. What is this world doing to people?

  • Then listen intently to other views and ask questions to learn more. Somehow the relentless need to be right about everything all the time drowned out inquisitiveness and honest dialogue.

  • Big Antichrist energy. Maybe he’ll declare himself pope and cause a schism.

    Start seizing all assets of the Catholic Church in the US. Knock out all the stained glass windows of Jesus and Mary and saints, and replace them with Trump portraits with a golden halo. Throw out the crucifixes and install golden statues of Trump. Altars made of plated gold.

    I wonder what attendance would be like at the Church of Trump.

  • It’s almost like Jews might have a problem with establishing a precedent that you can just start rounding up people with zero due process and put them in camps to die.

    Call it “antisemitism” all you like. The white suprematists supporting all of this won’t be making exceptions if they stay in power.

  • The threats of various US invasions being 100% senile blustering, coupled with an economic crisis and/or loss of freedom in the US to the point that people would need to flee the country rapidly, isn’t that far-fetched.

  • I really thought that 51st state of the US push at the end there would save conservatives. Everyone knows how badly Canadians want to lose their independence, culture, healthcare, etc.

    Seriously though, the next government should probably start planning for the refugee camps it’ll need on the southern border in the coming years. Or maybe build a wall.

  • The stock market getting wiped out and it being harder to find a job is one thing. Groceries being unaffordable for half the country and getting more expensive by the day is entirely another thing.

    Boomers watching their retirement go away as stocks crater is kinda sad, I guess. Not being able to find a job always sucks. But people on a mass scale not being able to afford food and basic housing is a crisis the US hasn’t seen since the Great Depression.

    It’s getting worse every day, and there is no answer, no long- or even mid-term plan, and no one in actual power is even attempting to help. Democrats do nothing, and Republicans make it worse, while the Trump/Musk administration is Nero fiddling while Rome burns.

  • Between the genocide in Gaza and what’s coming for the West Bank, Palestine might not exist in the next few years. Survivors scattered to the winds.

    It’s incredibly sad, but honestly foreseeable. The right wing shift in the west is killing what little sympathy and press coverage there was.

  • The billionaire, parasite class is turning against Trump. They wanted lower taxes and less regulation to commit more crimes, not massive global instability. And they definitely didn’t realize how diminished Trump is and the role the adults in the room played in the first administration.

    This level of chaos will never be profitable. It only accelerates their plans to retreat to bunkers when everything collapses. That was supposed to be caused by climate change, not unforced errors from a senile president and the clown car administration sound him.

  • The Art of the Deal:

    1. Behave recklessly and make threats to destroy the global economy
    2. Get pushback from allies
    3. Reverse course for allies, but behave even more recklessly against rival
    4. Rival realizes you don’t know what you’re doing
    5. Beg rival to engage
    6. Rival refuses
    7. Take insanely reckless actions toward rival
    8. Rival stands firm
    9. Get told by billionaires that you’re messing with their profits and, as a side note, domestic stability
    10. Reverse course for rivals, look incredibly weak and get exposed for not having a clue what you’re doing on the global stage
    11. ?????????????????
    12. Make America Great Again
  • It’s hilarious to think that almost everyone thought this clown was real-life Tony Stark a decade ago. The people who worked with him knew better, but they were paid and under NDAs.

    I still think Trump is setting him up to be the fall guy. He’s the patsy for all the crimes they all committed the second the heat gets turned up.

    That or even earlier, Trump and his people get tired of dealing with him and decide it’s time to pull the plug. Make him the MAGA scapegoat for why his voters can’t afford the minimum payments on their credit cards anymore. Musk ran everything into the ground, and now some new plan with no details will save us all from his incompetence, etc., etc. The MAGA half of the country will believe it as soon as he says it.

  • Regardless of your position on the Catholic Church, it was always clear that Pope Francis was a man of conscience who sought to spread goodness and light, even against the headwinds he faced at home in the Vatican and abroad. He will be sorely missed in this fallen world.
