BTW, the Gaede Twins of the fash-rock band Prussian Blue renounced their naziism about a dozen years ago. Apparently Lynx and Lamb Gaede smoked some pot and had a change of heart and mind.

"His politics are so mysterious!"

This. This ABSOLUTE IDIOCY from Ambassadors and Professors and Senators (looking at you, Michael McFaul and Chris Murphy) is the part that is SO INCREDIBLY IRRITATING.

"He doesn't understand what's going on" -- NO. HE UNDERSTANDS FIND.

PEOPLE WHO WANT TO INSTITUTE APARTHEID ARE IN FACT IN LEAGUE WITH NAZIS.

It is amazing how they fall all over themselves to excuse him because they don't want to see it.

I hope Germany is, remains, becomes, the greatest European melting pot of as many ethnicities as possible. Go Immigrants! To Germany!

The evils of which Musk learned in Apartheid South Africa. AWB, founded in 1973 by white South African Afrikaner nationalist Eugène Terre'Blanche, was a neo-Nazi party. Their objective was to establish an independent state for white Boer-Afrikaner people only.

You need to phrase that a different way.

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and David Saks are either Afrikaner or Afrikaner-affiliated (before people start screaming at me that Thiel was born in Germany I KNOW) and they left SA as apartheid collapsed.

THEY WANT TO BRING IT BACK AND CODIFY IT.

"He’s a right-winger who grew up in apartheid-era South Africa, and one of his first actions when he bought Twitter two years ago was to let tons of racists and bigots the previous ownership had banned back onto the platform, such that it now resembles a Munich beer hall in 1933 or a meeting of the White Citizens Council in Alabama in the late 1950s." All in the name of FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

Weird, isn't it, how (white, wealthy) South Africans never had any cause to take up the cause of FREEDOM OF SPEECH in their country, much less a country not their own.

Fuck off, Elonia.

I sampled Grand Daughters gift- a professional joint. I know skepti will take it all in. I just wanted to try it out. Two puffs make me feel like all is well in the world and I get quite chatty. I still know it isn't a solution though.

Imagine you are JD Vance the newly elected vice president. Now imagine you are JD Vance, forced to stand by and watch Eloon assume the position of Chancellor of the Turd Reich. Hillbilly Elegy becomes Hillbilly Eulogy.

F*** His Feelings

It was his feeeeeelings -- and his inability to deal with them effectively and in a socially responsible manner -- that was one of the things that got us in this mess in the first place

I wonder what Amy Adams has to say about starring in that movie (the movie version of that bullshit book). She was doing publicity for her new dog movie.

Did anyone ask her about it? I'm guessing not.

Nyt says "Mr. Musk’s post was in response to an English-language video by a 24-year-old German far-right influencer, Naomi Seibt. She harshly criticized Friedrich Merz, whom polls show leading the race,"

And Fred Mertz is competing to lead Germany but Lucy and Ethel got some plans. Hilarity will ensue
