So many people I otherwise respect hurl more money at Elon so they can write longer tweets and see fewer ads.
Whatever gets you through the night, I guess, but let's not say that tiny part of your soul isn't for sale.

"Of all the ways I thought our republic might end, I never imagined it would be because a fake reality TV show host couldn't take a joke."

One of the few reasons I stay here is, both legacy and nontraditional media see it as a necessary evil. I'm here because I get news from them here. How do we solve that quandary? At what point do they see Proud Boys Central as the wrong place for them to be? How to hasten that?
I see a two-step process in @RadioFreeTom's latest.
1. Accept that democracy is not over. (I'm not there yet.)
2. Do something to save it. (I'm hoping I get there.)
Americans appalled by Trumpβs win have every reason to fear for our democracy. But they also have work to do, @RadioFreeTom writes. theatlantic.com/newsletters/β¦

All this analysis and conjecture about the loss, which is understandable. But so few mentions that some who talked a good game ultimately maybe just couldn't fill in the dot for a 1. Black 2. Asian 3. woman.
It's just odd how small a piece of the conversation it is.
When you're ready to look at news again - I'm only just starting to peek out a bit - two of the outlets that gave me the most and best info over the last year are the @guardian and @TheAtlantic. If you're looking for outlets you might want to support, please consider.
This is what convinces me the war is unwinnable. Increasingly, they got everything, we got nuthin'. And the game is more fixed than ever.

The world's 10 richest people saw their fortunes skyrocket by a jaw-dropping $64 billion after Trump's victory Tuesday night.
Make no mistake: the ultra-wealthy and Wall Street will make out like bandits during the second Trump term. Everyone else will be left behind.

OK, let me solve American "economic anxiety" very quickly. I'm gonna sort it out for you in less than ten tweets and then you won't have that excuse anymore. You ready? Here goes.
The cause is capitalism and greed. That's it. Nothing else. Just that.
It's just ironic, the timing of this local power outage. Only affecting a few blocks, but frankly the whole country is sitting in the dark. It's just more literal for me and my neighbors atm.
Sobering.
(Probably an unregistered gun purchased without a background check, because that's the America we want.)
