Jane, you ignorant slotkin.

Oh. You know.

I dunno, have you ever tried to play “The Black Page”?

It seems like . . much.

Page FIFTY-FIVE

look, Canada, if you wanna, y’know, take care of things, y’know, we’d really appreciate it. This demented rapsit is nothing but human sewage washing over everything.

I mean - who knew?!

Hey demented sociopathy is fully capable of being adult and orange.

Fun fact! This beetle is illegal in Florida.

The Times lays out, in as gentlemanly terms as possible, how fucked up this would be:

It would \[…] bring into sharp relief the questions about Mr. Musk’s conflicts of interest as he ranges widely across the federal bureaucracy while continuing to run businesses that are major government contractors. In this case, Mr. Musk, the billionaire chief executive of both SpaceX and Tesla, is a leading supplier to the Pentagon and has extensive financial interests in China. > >So our educated hypothesis on this remains “got caught, deny, deny, deny.” (Adding support to that hypothesis is that Elon is now [whining and promising](https://www.politico.eu/article/elon-musk-threatens-pentagon-leakers-new-york-times-briefing-china-war/) that “those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information” will be prosecuted. How does one “leak” maliciously *false* information, praytell, Mr. South African nepo dipfuck?)

. . . The *Times* notes that the *Wall Street Journal* also [independently confirmed](https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/musk-to-receive-top-secret-briefing-on-u-s-war-plans-for-china-922eafdf?mod=hp_lead_pos1) that Elon was invited for the China Secrets briefing, and adds in the very next paragraph “Whatever the meeting will now be about …” as a transition phrase. So that’s funny. Also funny? Josh Marshall [notes](https://bsky.app/profile/joshtpm.bsky.social/post/3lkuavzmbss2i) that the *Wall Street Journal* confirmed the story *after* Trump denied it.

It shows [# replies] but nothing below.

There’s some fairly large amount of NZers that interact on the daily (some on the hourly) with Facebook.

I have no doubt. This will mean the utter victory of the right wing fascists, backed by broligarch billionaire Peter Thiel, et. al.

It’s that simple. It’s been tried-and-true since at least 2016. Kill it with fire.

What, are you trolling the month old threads for lulz? Certanly sounds exciting. But how can we be sure?

Christ I knew they had their hooks into you NZ but I didn’t think it was that bad already.

woof. Y’all need to take out the trash pronto.

And that means no Xitter, no facebook, no Instacrap. Anyone using those things is abetting the destruction of all that is good.

Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed are wonderful things. Enjoy those.

Yes, fine, also bluesky I guess. I dunno.

Resistance is futile.

wait wait wait - you’re saying the industry most associated with destroying all life on the planet, in the full knowledge of doing so, is also making prices rise??

Fun fact: free energy isn’t being researched because it would destroy global economics. . . among, other reasons.

Due to the trove of sensitive consumer data 23andMe has amassed, Attorney General Bonta reminds Californians of their right to direct the deletion of their genetic data under the Genetic Information Privacy Act (GIPA) and California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA). Californians who want to invoke these rights can do so by going to 23andMe’s website.

TL;DR unless you live in California and delete your data, it will soon be in the russian army psyops database.

Did someone hear that smoke detector sneeze?

My son is also named Bort.

Oh don’t worry - FEMA will still be there. Only instead of providing shelter and food, they’ll be arresting everyone and transferring them to “camps” in El Salvador. /s?

Y’know back in the 80’s there was a wild conspiracy theory that the government was going to take over and put everyone in camps under a secret organization known as FEMA that had the power to suspend the Constitution.

At the time, no one had heard of FEMA and conspiracy theorists were, as per usual, mocked for believing the government had gone to the trouble of creating an agency just to ship people off to camps.

They were also mocked for saying the government recorded all the communications going in and out of the country.

Good times. Good times.
