@MadeyeTheCarnaptious You think that's bad? Take a look at this absolute horseshit. They're defunding museums, music schools and public transport, but have the funds for a tech vanity project on the least successful platform in recorded history 🙄 🤬
"I'm so angry at Biden over Isreal/Gaza that I'm going to help Trump destroy democracy, weaponize the Justice system, send millions to deportation camps, lower the taxes on the wealthy and shift the burden to the middle class, cut Social Security, track and prosecute women having abortions, pardon the people who violently attacked Capitol police, dismantle NATO, help Russia, AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT do even more harm to Palestinians" is a take--it's just a really awful take, IMO.
#ffs For over 400 years my ancestors were forced to mother your descendants and you have the audacity, in the year 2024 of Our Lord, to ask the Vice President of the #UnitedStatesofAmerica to be the nation’s mamie, GTFO.

“India is now the most populous country in the world, based on population…” Elon Musk. Wow. I thought being the most populous was based on a popularity contest… #FFS
@academicchatter Ooooh, I was wrong, it isn't a good faith move by the philanthropist after all (I should have known better). It is a move to capture market share in the pre-print business, pushing some #AI nonsense.
Wired: Making a video about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which people like. 🙌🏻
Tired: Having extremists show up in the comments explaining that starving and killing women and children is fine, because their parents probably voted for Hamas at some point. 🤦🏻♂️
