Unloved by Elon (who once tried to get me fired), disgusted at "conservatives" who turned out to be Trump cultists, hoping Democrats will get healthier, and wishing Congress would do its damned job.

if you want to watch the "MUSK" documentary with me in Portland, there are still lots of tickets to the 7 pm showing at Fox Regal downtown next Friday... I'll be there with my friends, why not join us?

The backstory: Ukrainian drones struck a Yandex supercomputer facility in Vladimir, taking it out. Suddenly, bot activity in US social media fell by 49%, confirming suspicions that this was the site of a massive Russian influence operation targeting US social media—mostly targeting MAGA.

A stalwart Republican during the Reagan era, I see there is nothing left of that GOP. I have been donating regularly to the campaigns of Jon Ossoff, Leela Gray, Josh Turek, and James Talarico. I don't agree with many of their policies, but it's way past time for some essential electoral hygiene.

the Elon Take The Wheel livestream is coming back in a big way, with an amazing lineup of guests (and some surprise news) dropping Monday at 8 am Pacific the heart of Elon Musk's power is storytelling, so I'll be speaking with the journalists and storytellers who are fighting Musk's fire with fire

@theonetruedoktor.bsky.social's short essay on Pete Hegseth's determination to livestream an execution is factual & clinical yet at the same time enough to make one's blood boil.

just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

JJaap Burger@jaapburger.euOct 9, 2026, 2:36 PM

The party is now turning to the man who has been the go-to person for those suffering from spontaneous contractions of the right arm, and who has already provided them with strong support in recent years.

Death of a handyman: ICE cited “convictions for driving with expired vehicle registration” and an unspecified judgment against him in favor of the Maryland comptroller. The 47-year-old Curo-Churata "had volunteered to leave the country on his own, but a judge denied the request."

what a biased hatchet job, using the mans own words like this

@montanaskeptic.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 2:26 PM

Thanks, BRCHJ. I also highly recommend Will Lockett's Substack (alas, subscription required). Lockett is even more jaundiced about SpaceX than I am, so take that into consideration.

Maciej Cegłowski (Welcome to Mars!) is brilliant. This superb piece from 2025 is free:

there's a lot going on right now, but the ability to buy elections in order to stay out of prison is on the ballot whether you realize it or not
