Something hopeful for today: The Bulwark on unlikely bipartisan victories, and why Elon can't have one of those.
Worthwhile read and clear-eyed analysis of Putin’s Russia.
Things aren’t quite as rosy as Putin would like people to think, most of all, his own citizens.
They need more cannon fodder. Even the North Korean soldiers are dying too fast, as they are sent in human waves into Ukrainian guns. WWI trench warfare tactics!
Don't worry, if too many men die, Elon will stop by and put babies in the women. One of my top memories of 2024 will be how much respect I lost for him.
He is a dangerously demented genius. His promotion of flat-out lies and misinformation, not to mention his spreading of hate is inexplicable to me. As a Tesla owner, space enthusiast and believer in free speech, it pains me to see the damage his is doing with much worse yet to come.
Musk is a smart businessman, but hardly a “genius”
Musk didn’t invent Tesla. He is not an engineer, although he claims to be. he inherited a fortune from blood money eneralds from Zambia
Then he invested in Tesla, SpaceX and of course Twitter. He bought patents on all this stuff.
This family values proponent has 12 kids with three different mothers. . One of them is trans and he is estranged from her.
I agree he's a terrible person, but after reading Walter Issacson's biography of him, perhaps he's more of a Thomas Edison than a Nikola Tesla. He studied Physics and Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. But he not only attracts brilliant engineers to work for him, he goes toe-to-toe with them in design sessions. I'd almost go with the archaic term "Idiot Savant". His personality and politics are his idiot half expressing himself.
Posted without additional commentary from me:
Just saw this article from the New York Times about a CT exploding into fire in front of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Bizarre coincidence? Nut job wanting a glorious suicide, or some Trump nitwit loaded fireworks in the back to celebrate the new year that overheated and went off?
It definitely got Elon's attention. Should know soon hopefully.
Looks like fireworks went off, not the batteries, but that's just my opinion.

Terror attack New Year's Eve … a -fucking- gain….people will be afraid to gather on the streets for anything.
Are we living in the same country? One people don't care about violence two this will only reflect on Muslims.
Since it’s a open thread, have there been any coverage past local of the recent homophobia from the Colorado GOP? This piece from the Durango Herald discusses the recent but very much bigoted threats of the Colorado GOP towards the Durango school district over a proposal to allow representative flags or symbols for staff and students. The screed by the COGOP to the school is uttlerly insane and calls the proposal and supporters of it pedophiles and sexual fetishists along with a dash of racism added in with buzzwords like “anti-white”. The GOP also went on about it being “anti-Christian” or something but haphardly added in “and other religions” as a afterthought at the end of that to hide the fact they only care about conservative Christians.
Here’s my view, I don’t agree with the proposal in principle for reasons not related to hating the gays but I now do support it becasue it’ll make the homophobic nuts mad. Also, with the finacial bleeding the state GOP is going through, is wasting money on suing a school for being ok with the gays and non-whites really a smart decision? Talk about choosing their battles. They truly don’t act like they need money at all for other more important duties and aren’t a poliitcal minority desperate to be relevant.
If the Durango school district has policies like most other Colorado school districts, the "symbol" in question is a decal of a rainbow triangle which declares that that classroom or office is a safe space for LGBTQ students, (since the triangle contains a rainbow).
Many LGBTQ students found that having just one teacher or adult in their life that accepted them for who they were made the difference between sanity and suicide. I sponsored a gay-straight alliance club in a high school for years, and heard this from students. Apparently, the, Durango GOP homophobes don't care about this.
